in the kitchen: potatoes

Posted by on Jan 2, 2010 in in the kitchen, pc-romania, veronica | No Comments

The piata is full of root vegetables right now — beets, parsnips, celery root, and the ubiquitous potato. Like good Romanian-wannabes, we bought a 10 kg (over 22#) bag of potatoes (for less than $3) last week and hauled it back to our place.  My goal is to find interesting ways to cook these potatoes in the coming weeks.   On the list of recipes to try (I’ll include recipes where I can):

My Mom’s German Potato Salad (accomplished 01/01)
My Grandmother’s Potato Casserole (we did this one for Thanksgiving but it bears repeating)
Hashbrowns
(accomplished 01/02)
Scalloped Potatoes

Dutch Potatoes
(a twist on traditional mashed potatoes)
Norwegian Lapskaus (a favorite of ours and uses other root veggies & leftovers)
Twice Baked Potatoes (um, yum)
Baked Potato Soup
Roasted Potatoes

Y’all have any other tasty potato recipes (using basic ingredients)??
