Delicious Potato Recipes


Here are five recipes for potatoes which make them a delicious vegetable instead of the rather boring, white, dull objects most people think they are!


Boiled Potatoes

The best way to boil potatoes is in their skins. It is not necessary to peel them, just scrub them and remove all blemishes. Place them in cold water and boil water with salt added. When dry, leave them to dry in an oven dish in a warm oven for about 10 minutes - this will improve the flavour. Serve with butter or a sour cream spread.

Roast Potatoes

The best option is also to roast them in their skins, but also scrub them first and remove all blemishes. Roast them in the oven, either alone in an oven dish, sprinkled with olive oil and salt or roast them round the fat of your Sunday roast.

Baked Potatoes

You will need

  • 10 potatoes
  • 4 cups full cream milk (fat free milk will suffice)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Garlic
Scrub the potatoes and slice thinly. Rinse with cold water and dry in a paper towel. Rub an ovenproof dish with garlic and then butter. Fill with potatoes, seasoning each layer. Pour the milk over the potatoes so that they are just covered, and dot with butter. Bake at 325⁰F for about one hour, or until cooked and browned. 

Potato Casserole

You will need

  • 10 potatoes
  • 5 onions
  • Salt and pepper
  • Prepared Cheese sauce
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Scrub the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Slice the onions. Fill a greased casserole dish with the potatoes and onions in layers, finish with potato. Season. Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle the grated cheese over. Bake in oven at 200⁰F for one hour or until the dish is cooked.

Pan Fried Potatoes

You will need

  • 8 potatoes
  • 4 onions
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced bacon, cooked
  • 1 Tbsp. cooking fat
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and pepper
Scrub the potatoes and cut into thin slices. Slice the onions and tomatoes. Heat the fat in a frying pan and put in layers of potato, onion, tomato, bacon, cheese and seasoning. Finish with potato. Cover the pan and cook for 20 minutes. Brown the top under the grill and serve.

Grilled Tomatoes Halves


Ingredients

4 big, ripe tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp. fresh breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. margarine

Preparation

1. Preheat oven on grill for 15 minutes

2. Cut the tomatoes in half, cross wise. Arrange them in the oven-grill pan, with cut sides facing upwards. Sprinkle them with a few grindings of black pepper. Combine the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl and pat the mixture evenly over the tomatoes. Place a dot of margarine on each tomato half.

3. Place the pan in the oven, about 7.5 cm from the heat source.

4. Grill the tomatoes for 6-8 minutes, watching carefully for any sign of burning – lower the heat or move the pan further away from the heat source if necessary.

5. When the topping is golden-brown, test the tomatoes by pressing their sides gently. They should yield only slightly – if grilled beyond that point they may fall apart.

6. Quickly lift the tomatoes from the pan with a large spatula and serve them on a warm platter.

Note: If it is easier for you, the tomatoes can be grilled ahead of time and served at room temperature.
