From: pchurch@swell.actrix.gen.nz (Pat Churchill) Source: Charmaine Solomon's vegetarian cookbook ARMENIAN POTATOES ================= Ingredients: ------------ 750 g old potatoes, peeled thinly and diced 3 tblsp tomato paste (I used one with added herbs and onion) 1/4 cup water 4 cloves garlic, very finely chopped 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup oil (I used a bit less and used some of my own herbed olive oil) 1 cup finely chopped parsley Instructions: ------------- Place the whole lot in a casserole dish and bake at around 375F for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. I cooked it for somewhat longer than this because the males in the family vanished to watch some field hockey later afternoon and were a bit delayed coming home. As long as you don't use mush spuds, I would say this dish is fairly forgiving of being left to fend for itself. We had it with some small lamb roasts (these are cut from the rump and weight about 7 ounces) which I patted dry, then rubbed with a mix of herbs and spices and barbecued till medium rare then sliced thinly. We also had some al dente whole baby green beans. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

Use a handle of a spoon to prevent the knife from cutting all the way. 3) Put potatoes in a baking dish. Fan them slightly. 4) Sprinkle with sale and drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with herbs. 5) Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for about 50 minutes 6) Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheeses. 7) Bake potatoes for another 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, cheeses are melted and potatoes are soft inside. Check with a fork. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

EIFELER SCHOLES
===============
Ingredients:
------------
1.5 kg potatoes
3 rolls
50 g durchwachsener Speck (that is ham that is "red and white" red
from the meat - and white from the fat) It is here abit smoked
1 little onion
4 eggs
salt
pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Grate the potatoes and onion. Cut the ham into little cubes and
melt/bake it out. Put the rolls into water, so that they soak water and
press them out. Mix that all together (potatoes, ham and the mashed
rolls) with the eggs.
Put the dough in a form (like the one you use for lasagne for example),
which is greased with butter, and put it for 90 minutes into the oven
(180 Celsius) untill it is "golden" on the top.
Note:
-----
The eifel is an area in Germany (where the famous Nuerburg Ring is,
something like hmmm the Hockenheim Ring or Daytona ( ;-) ), where
car and motorbikes races are) between Luxemburg, Belgium, Holland
and the rhine area (Cologne, Bonn).

Roll potato mixture into balls. Dip each into egg the egg and water mix, then roll in breadcrumbs. Refrigerate coated balls at least 1 hr. To cook, heat oil and deep-fry balls until brown. Serve with your favourite meat. Hint: ----- When coating food to be fried, always use egg and water, not egg and milk, as milk tends to make food stick to the pan. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*
From: mworkman@vm.cc.purdue.edu (Maggie Workman) GNOCCHIs (Potato(e) Cavatelli) ============================== Ingredients: ------------ 6 cups flour 3 boiled potato(e)s 2 tblsp olive oil or shortening 1 egg (optional) Instructions: ------------- Peel and mash the potatoes and pass through a sieve. Sift flour and form a well on dough board. Place potatoes and melted shortening or oil inside well, blend thoroughly, and knead until smooth. Now you are on your own when it comes to making the shape. I am not quite sure how it is done by hand because I have a hand crank machine that shapes them for me. Then you top them with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Hope this helps. I can't get enough of these and everyone that I have served this to loves them. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*
From: kathyt@ISI.EDU (Kathy) HASH BROWNS =========== This is what I usally make and my S.O. loves it. It tastes good anytime of the day! I nuke (boil if you have time) some potatoes cut into fat chunks (I always use the red ones) and add sliced mushrooms, red pepper, green pepper, red onions and if you want you could also add bacon, hot salsa, chopped tomatoes, sausage, chorizo, hot peppers, etc... I then sautee this mess for awhile until soft and tender then I throw in some fresh basil, parsley, cilantro and oregano from my garden. It is really good and easy to make! Also very filling! I like to put either salsa or ketchup on top of mine, my S.O. covers his with Blue cheese dressing. Enjoy! Kathy %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*
From: tipset@monolith.bellcore.com (Scott Temple) HASH BROWNS =========== Ingrediants: ------------ potatos (any kind work - I like Idaho bakers) oil (I perfer bacon fat or peanut oil) Optional ingrediants (all to taste and based on the number and size of the potatos) ------------ diced onions bacon sliced into small pieces grated chedder cheese Instructions: ------------- Peel the potatoes (this is also optional - I usually am lazy and leave the peel on). Grate the patatoes. Thorouhly wash the grated potato in cold water. This is a key step. It washes out much of the starch and will allow them to cook crispier. Squeeze the water out of the potato in a paper or cloth towel. Melt the fat in hot frying pan (black cast iron works best) or add the peanut oil. The potato will soak up a lot of oil, but be careful, they can taste oily if you add too much. Slowly add the grated potatos - be careful of splattering the oil since they are wet. You can leave them in place and then flip when one side is golden brown. I prefer to stir them frequently so all the little pieces brown. If you do this, when you are about half done, you can add the bacon and onions (any earlier and they tend to burn - esp the onion). If you do not stir the potatos, mix the sliced onion and pre-cooked bacon in with the potatoes ahead of time (bacon this way must be pre-cooked to ensure it all is cooked. Keep stirring every two minutes or so until they reaceh your desired browness. Near the very end, you can grate some cheese over the potatos. Method 2: --------- Use left over baked potato - or bake one for 7 minutes in the micro-wave. Do all the above steps except wash the potato %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

MAJORAM POTATO CASSEROLE
========================
Ingredients:
------------
750 g potatoes
250 g cream (you can use a mix of yoghurt and sour cream to lower
the fat content)
2 egg yolks
40 g butter
75g ham
bunch of fresh marjoram (dried otherwise)
freshly ground pepper
salt
If I want this as a main meal, then I use minced meat and prepare it the
same way I would for Lasagna (ie spicy and rich - you don't need to tell
The Parents this little secret though) I then just alternate the layers
of meat mix and the potato recipe.
Instructions:
-------------
Wash, peel and slice the potatoes thinly.
In lightly salted, rolling boiling water, cook for 5 mins. (sorry about
the sentence stucture- I'm translating this from German- this is an
authentic Austrian recipe...)
Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a sieve.
Take the Marjoram from the stalks, and chop finely. Mix salt, pepper
and marjoram with the egg yolks and cream.
Grease a casserole dish, and place half the potatoes in the form. Chop
the ham finely, and spread half over the potatoes. Sprinkle salt and
pepper over the layers.
Place the rest of the potatoes in the dish, and then pour the egg mix
over the top. Sprinkle with ham, and dot the top with the remainder of
the butter used for greasing the dish.
Cook on 250 degrees Celcius (er- Farenheit, ~375) for 30-40 mins, or
until golden on top.
If you choose this one, still serve with a green salad.

MEATLESS MEATLOAF
=================
Ingredients:
------------
2 raw white potatoes
1 cup onions, chopped
1 cup dry bread crumbs or wheat germ
1 cup pecans (or walnuts or sunflower seeds)
2 well-beaten eggs (or for a vegan variety, add some tamari and
delete salt)
1 tsp salt, unless you added tamari
Dash pepper
basil or any other favorite "meat loaf" spices, like mustard.
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat over to 350.
Put potatoes, onions, nuts, and bread through a food processor so it is
all ground up, like meat loaf. Mix these ingredients well, then add the
rest of the ingredients.
Put in well-greased loaf pan and bake until 1 hour or until firm.
Stays firm when cold, so it is very good for meatloaf sandwiches.

========================
Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Ingredients:
------------
2 cups millet
6 cups water
4 cups cauliflower pieces
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tblsp soy margarine or unrefined corn oil (note to Canadians: Our

PAPAS A LA HUNCAINA, MAS O MENO
===============================
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb small red potatoes, or any waxy-skinned variety cut in half or
into pieces no larger than 2" in any direction
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 tsp achiote seeds, ground and sifted as described
2 shallots, coarsely chopped
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 habanero chile, ripe, roasted, peeled and chopped
2 tblsp or so olive oil
3-4 oz goat cheese
Instructions:
-------------
Boil potatoes until done but still firm. Mix all other ingredients
except goat cheese in a blender. Drain potatoes, stir in goat cheese,
then pour sauce over and mix. Serve immediately, preferably with either
bread or tortillas to wipe up the last of the sauce. (Kim and I almost
fought over it...)
Note:
-----
This is *quite* hot, but awfully good. The achiote, lime juice, and
habanero work very nicely together, and the potatoes offset a lot of the
fire. We served it with something simple like either a roasted chicken
or shark in lime juice (see yesterday's recipe for tiburon a la
margarita).

*From: liberty@liberty.com (Linda/BDT Burbank, CA) POTATOES AU GRATIN ================== Ingredients: ------------ 4 tblsp butter 3 tblsp all-purpose flour 2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 2 cups milk 5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into medium-thin slices 2 onions, peeled and chopped 1-1/2 to 2 lbs * sharp cheddar cheese, cubed or sliced Instructions: ------------- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and add flour, salt and pepper. Pour in the milk and stir frequently till thickened. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a large casserole (3-1/2 to 5 quart). Layer 1/4 of the potatoes, 1/4 of the onion, 1/4 of the cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat the next layer. Then, on top of the second layer, pour half the white sauce over (be a little reserved 'cuz you want the majority of the white sauce on top of the finished casserole). Then, again, repeat the next layer with potatoes, cheese, onion, salt and pepper. Repeat the final layer with same. Pour the remaining white sauce over the top, making sure you cover all. Sprinkle the final product with salt and pepper. Cover and bake 1 hour. Then, remove the cover and bake for another hour. Don't worry if it gets a little dark on top. For leftovers, I put some of the casserole in a microwaveable dish. Pour a little milk over and stir. Zap in the microwave on high until heated through! * I prefer Tillamook medium sharp Cheddar cheese but I don't know what kind of cheese you can get where you are, but whatevr you do, DON'T use American or Velveeta! :) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

*From: cschnell@iiasa.ac.at (Carey Schnell) SLICED AND SPICY POTATIES ========================= Ingredients + Instructions: --------------------------- Enough potatoes for 4 persons, and then 2 for luck. Scrub but don't peel. Slice thickly, approx half inch thick. Lay onto the oven tray, but make sure both sides have a little grease on them otherwise they will stick to the tray. You may need to add a little more oil (I use chili oil, but that may be a little hot for The Parents). Keep an eye on these little suckers, as they will cook pretty quickly. The idea is that they will bubble up towards the end, and you will need to turn them over to get them all toasty on the other side as well. Sprinkle the potatoes and the chicken (make sure you turn them over at some stage in the cooking as well, but they should end up skin side up to make sure the skin doesn't get soggy) with the spice mix throughout the cooking time, to get the flavour through. In the meantime, prepare a simple tossed salad with a simple dressing so as not to compete with the flavour of the chook. Serve with the salad and a good Turkish bread (one of the ones that you rip apart, or a crusty one if you want something a little more elegant). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

Put the potatoes, unpeeled, in a large saucepan and cover with water. With a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, peel the yellow zest from the grapefruit and put it in with the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are just fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, with a long-pronged fork or tongs, dip the grapefruit into the boiling potato water and blanch, turning constantly, for 30 seconds. Rinse the grapefruit briefly under cold running water to cool and peel off the white pith. Section the grapefruit and peel off the membranes over a bowl to catch the juice. Reserve all the juice and pulp; discard any seeds. When the sweet potatoes are done, drain and let cool; discard the grapefruit zest. Peel the potatoes and put them into a food processor along with the grapefruit pulp and juice, the butter, brown sugar and salt. Puree until smooth. Add the eggs and mix to blend. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a well-buttered, 6-cup souffle dish. Place in a pan of hot water and bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

WINTER GREENS AND POTATOES (VEGETABLE HASH)
===========================================
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb (1/2 kg) mixed greens, like mustard, kale, collards, etc.
2 medium-sized potatoes, scrubbed, quartered, and thinly sliced
2 tblsp (20 mL) virgin olive oil
1 or 2 small dried red chilies, seeds removed, torn into pieces
2 medium sized fresh or canned tomatoes, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
freshly grated or sliced hard cheese (Parm., Asiago, Romano)
extra-virgin olive oil, to finish the dish
freshly ground pepper
salt
Instructions:
-------------
Boil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes in salted water. Cook until tender,
then remove with a strainer.
Wash well and then chop the greens, removing tough stems. Cook the
greens until done in the potato water. Cook the tougher greens longer.
Warm the olive oil in a wide pan and add the chilies. When oil is hot,
add potatoes, stir well and cook for 1 min. or so. Add greens,
tomatoes, garlic. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or so, breaking up the
potatoes and working everything together. It becomes somewhat muddled,
but delicious. Taste for salt, add pepper and some cheese, and serve
with a bit of extra-virgin olive oil threaded over the top.
