50 Ways To Have Your Potatoes

2. Our 10 yr. old G-daughter loves mashed potatoes with a layer of cheese melted on top. Her #1 request when visiting with us.

3. My version of German Potatoes-Chunk potatoes and place in 12 inch Dutch Oven with a generous amount of clarified butter. Place DO over 6 charcoals and 15 on top. Chop bacon and onions and saute in seperate pan. Add cooked bacon and onions when the potatoes are about 2/3 done. Season with white pepper and cook until tender. May have to add fresh charcoal to finish cooking. Clarified butter and white pepper are usually found in health/natural food stores.

My new favorite way of preparing spuds when grilling.

1. Pierce and microwave until slightly soft (one potato per guest).

2. Using a very sharp knife, slice the potatos lengthwise into wedges. I usually slice them into 8 wedges per potato, but you can make them thicker or thinner if desired.

3. Spray the wedges with cooking spray or lightly coat with corn or canola oil.

4. Place the wedges on the grill and turn as needed for about 4-5 minutes until browned. They are already cooked, so lengthy grilling time is not needed.

5. When done, very lightly coat the wedges with cooking spray or oil and sprinkle with Salt, Pepper and any other seasonings of your choice.

Very easy, quick and tasty.

Mine is a potato au gratin.

In a deep Corningware oven dish, or similar.
layer 1/4" slices of potato about 2" deep
add a layer of sliced onions
add potatoes to within 1" of top.
In a pan, on low, heat 1 can of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup, 1/2 cup of cubed Velveeta, 1 tsp dry mustard and 1/4" cup of milk until cheese is melted.
Pour mixture over potatoes and add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Check with a knife at the end of the hour to insure they are done.

Same as my recipe except I sneak in a little coffee can bacon grease.

I like horseradish mashed potatoes with a good beef roast or prime rib.
Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

Dill Potato Salad
5 – Medium Red Potatoes

2 stalks chopped celery
2 of your favorite chopped dill pickles
A couple dashes of dill weed
A couple of dashes of garlic powder
Small can of chopped olives
3 to 4 chopped hard boiled eggs
Mayo

Salt & Pepper to taste

Simmer potatoes for about 45 minutes or until tender.
Typically the skins start to split and a fork will come out smoothly when poked.
Potatoes can be either partially or totally peeled.
Mix cut potatoes with all chopped ingredients except eggs, mayo & mustard.
Start with about a cup of mayo to a tablespoon of mustard and mix into potato mixture.
Repeat until desired moisture level is reached.
Salt and pepper to taste and fold in hard boiled eggs.
Makes enough to serve 8 – 12 people.

My diced potatoes for campfire, gas grill or oven.

For the 2 of us;

3 potatoes peeled and cubed then place in tin foil

Then add;

1 small yellow onion chopped

Sprinkle on garlic salt with parsley to taste

Pepper

3-4 pats of butter...or substitute to your liking

Wrap and place in the cooking method you choose. Check after 30 - 40 minutes for fork tender.

Take a potato, smear with butter, wrap in foil and place on coals. Bske until skin is crisp. remove foil, slice open and add favorite toppings.

Now I crave one, going to have to build a fire tonight.

Warm a can of chili without beans and serve over baked potatoes. Add sliced cheese or sour cream if you wish.

My cheesy potato pie! Or, as referred to by some, "naughty potato pie", since it has whatchamightcall way more grease than is good for you in it:

In a well-bacon-greased ten inch iron skillet, cook as many chopped potatoes as you can cram in until nice and brown. When just about cooked through, add a whole chopped onion and cook just until the onion is translucent. (Additional bacon grease optional).

Meanwhile, take an egg, a cup of mayo, a cup of grated parmesan cheese and mix well with enough milk to make it sorta runny. Dump that on top of the cooked potatoes and put the whole shootin' match in a 350 degree oven until custard sets and is nicely brown on top- about fifteen minutes....done!

Those with a real death wish might add additional cheese on top near the end of the baking process- cheddar works nicely! :B
