2 Tbsp. dry crumbs

Potatoe Surprise

2 large potatoes peeled and cut into chunks

One large onion peeled and cut into small pieces

Oil for frying

1 heaping tablespoon chicken powder or onion soup powder

1-heaping tablespoon freshly pounded black peppercorns, or more to taste

Parboil the potato chunks until fork tender but NOT mushy; drain.

Put the oil into a frypan or wok sufficient to sauté, NOT for deep-frying. Put the onion pieces into the wok and stir around until they are limp and clear. Put the potatoes into the wok and continue to stirfry until they become browned; add the chicken soup or onion soup powder and the pepper and stir around until the dish looks done - the potatoes and onions will give off a tasty aroma and have some browned bits on the outside.

NOTE: black peppercorns... Most people either buy pepper powder or use a peppermill. The way to get the best and most flavor out of peppercorns is to lightly pound them in a mortar with a pestle: the grains will not be fine and powdery but will be a bit chunky and will be very tasty the way pepper should be!

Wash and slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch slices (skins on or off). Grease a medium casserole dish (with lid). Put one layer of potato slices in the bottom. Sprinkle with a little season salt. Then sprinkle with a little flour. Then put about 4-8 dabs of margarine or butter on top. Repeat layers until you are about 1-1/2 inches from the top of the casserole dish. On the last layer on the top, do not dust with flour, use only the salt and margarine/butter. Then, from the side or the corner (but not over the top) fill the casserole with milk or substitute, until you can see it come up on all sides. The liquid should be about 1/2 inch below the top layer of potatoes.

Parmesan Potatoe Bake

peeled baking potatoes

salt and pepper

butter or margarine

fine breadcrumbs

grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 450-500 degrees F. Peel potatoes, then slice them across with cuts spaced about 1/4 inch apart, not cutting all the way through. This is easily done by placing a wooden spoon on the cutting board and using the handle as a stop to prevent cutting all the way through.

Place on a greased sheet, uncut side down and bake until the potatoes begin to open up (about 35 minutes). Remove from oven and baste with butter or margarine, being sure that the fat gets between the slices.

Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle tops with fine breadcrumbs or a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Romano or Parmesan cheese. Return to oven until nicely browned on top. Enjoy.

 

 

Potatoe Cakes

2 pounds baking potatoes

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

Minced fresh parsley for garnish

Peel the potatoes and shred them about 1/8 inch thick. Pat dry using paper toweling. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crusty, about 5 minutes; shake the pan occasionally to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Reduce the heat and cook about 5 minutes longer to cook the interior partially. Cover the skillet with a flat plate, invert the pan, and turn the potatoes onto the plate. Increase the heat again and melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Slip the potato cake back into the skillet. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the bottom is crusty about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat and cook until the interior is tender, about 5 minutes longer.

Slide the cake onto the serving plate, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.

Can be made parve by substituting oil or margarine for the butter. The flavor of the cake depends on the quality of the potatoes, so the more flavorful the potatoes, the better the cake will turn out.
