What can I make with Potatoes, any good recipes ?

My mom used to make this dish were the potatoes were cut about 1/2'; thick (into disk/slices), layered in a baking dish, topped with paprika, salt, pepper %26amp; parsley and pats of butter, and baked at 350 till the slices are fork-tender. Yum.





I also make fried-mashed-potatoes out of left-overs. Just place potatoes in a heated skillet with some butter, %26amp; fry till brown on one side; flip %26amp; cook the rest of the way. My family LOVES this!What can I make with Potatoes, any good recipes ?

Rissole:


3 large potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks


2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (as needed to saute the onion and rissole cakes, respectively)


1 medium white onion, diced small


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


3 scallions, white and tender green parts only, sliced on the diagonal into 1/4-inch thick slices


1/2 pound cooked backfin or lump crabmeat (avoid canned)














Return to the rissole. In the same pan saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, reserving the other tablespoon. When it begins to shimmer, saute the white onion until tender. Transfer the onion to the potatoes which have been boiled for the rissole, reserving the saute pan. Season potatoes, to taste, with salt and pepper, and mash together. Fold in the scallions and crab trying to avoid breaking up the crab. Allow to sit until cool enough to handle, then use 3-inch circle cutters as molds and form the potato/crab mixture into circles. In the same pan, heat additional grapeseed oil for the rissole over medium-high heat and sear the potato cakes leaving undisturbed for the first 2 to 3 minutes on each side to let the caramelization process begin and to prevent the cake from breaking apart. When you see the edges of the cake beginning to turn golden brown, flip and sear the other side. Then cook further





until the cake is firm. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Potato bake -





Potatoes


garlic


cream


french onion soup mix - cheap packet


(bacon optional)





Slice potatoes reasonably thick.


overlap and layer the bottom of a gratin dish


sprinkle a little crushed garlic


you can sprinkle a little chopped bacon if you like (not necessary)


repeat for each layer until dish is full


open a carton of whipping cream 600mils and add french onion soup mix powder - the more powdery the better, then pour over potato gratin.


only season if you have not used bacon - otherwise can be salty!


Bake 180. Cover and bake for 20minutes then mix and turn over a bit - not too much and not to break up presentation. further bake until brown on top and cooked throughout.
These are one of my favorite recipes.


Mashed Potatoes with Green


Chilies %26amp; Cheddar Cheese





3 pounds russet potatoes


1 or 2 - 4 oz. cans diced green chilies


1 1/2 cups medium cheddar cheese


1 cup milk


1/2 stick unsalted butter


Kosher Salt %26amp; Pepper





Fill stock pot with cold water. Peel potatoes


and cut in quarters. Salt water, turn heat to high.


Boil for 10-12 minutes or until fork tender.





Simmer milk and butter in small sauce pan.


Shred the cheese, set aside.





Drain potatoes, return to stock pot. Pour half


milk/butter mixture on potatoes. Season with


salt/pepper. With potato masher, coarsely smash


potatoes, add more milk as needed. You want a


creamy texture (need creamier because you will be


adding cheese), yet lumpy.





Drain some of the liquid from the green chilies,


add to potatoes, add cheese, mix well.


Serve immediately.

You can make lots of things with potatoes!





You can saute them in a pan with oil, garlic, and rosemary until they are crisp and serve them with a protein like a steak or chicken, etc.





You can cut them very thin and deep fry them to make chips, or thicker and fry them to make fries.





I also like to cut them into wedges, lightly oil them, season with rosemary salt and pepper, and grill them to make delicious home fries.





You can bake them, and put sour cream, chives, butter, cheese, bacon or anything you think is good on them.





You can mash them. Boil them in water first, until they are very soft. Then just mash them with a little milk, salt, butter, and cheese. Those are delicious.





You could also just get little red fingerling potatoes and boil them in salty water until they are soft and serve them as a good side with any dish.





The possibilities are endless my friend, maybe try searching potato on foodnetwork.com. There are great recipes on there.
