Literally, every single one of these tiny storefront restaurants (and some were take out only)had the best potatoes I ever ate. That was because they all made them the same way -- spread on a sheet pan under whatever they were roasting on the spit (crispy whole chickens, succulent pork roasts, whatever) so that the hot fat dripped down and turned them into crisp golden nuggets from heaven.Amy Pershinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297658616252928630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28181779157877911342020-12-28T05:33:16.070-05:002020-12-28T05:33:16.070-05:00Rhys, glad to hear you eat poutine whenever you vi...Rhys, glad to hear you eat poutine whenever you visit Canada! It has only become more widely available in the last decade, I think. Growing up in Toronto, I never heard of poutine and only saw it in restaurants in Quebec, but now you can find poutine almost anywhere in Canada.<br /><br />Danielle, I understand. But I grew up eating french fries drenched in gravy during my teenage years at high school, so I guess I am fine with the soggy texture of poutine.Grace Koshidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934603958949938617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59960710142585282972020-12-28T02:56:30.772-05:002020-12-28T02:56:30.772-05:00These two straightforward inquiries can change the...These two straightforward inquiries can change the utilization and sort of tangle that an individual may get in a large number of ways.

With all the amazing recipes for potatoes, including yours, out there, I think we love just mashed potatoes best. I use golden potatoes (I've really become fond of those), peel them, cut them up, boil them 20 or so minutes, drain, mash up with a fork, add good amount of butter, salt & pepper, half-and-half, mix with mixer, and it's mashed potatoes.

The plan...I live in where Luther Burbank ended up. The plant wizard (a title I hear he wasn't to happy with) did a great deal of work on many cultivars and the russet potato bears his name. It is said he came to the west coast from Massachusetts on the proceeds on that cultivar. This potato is supposed to be be slightly more resistance to the late blight was what devastating the crops in Europe, especially Ireland. (I used to work for the Rec and Parks department here, city owns Mr. Burbank's cottage and gardens).<br /><br />Looks like most scalloped potato dishes have been covered and I love the old potato leek soup recipe my mom used to make that is very much like Annette's. I've seen that cheese plate melting gizmo on cooking shows recently. One of the more decadent versions was to melt the cheese onto a thick sandwich roll with shaved ham. One messy, gooey sandwich. I have two versions of baked potatoes. Version 1 - fast meal - poke russet about 8 times with a fork and put in microwave, on high, for 6 to 8 minutes, turning over half way through the cooking time. Remove to a shallow bowl, cut open add a little salt and pepper, a healthy dose of cottage cheese, top with salsa and maybe a little grated cheese either on top of the salsa or in the potato before you add the cottage cheese. Version 2 - in the oven. Hot oven, probably 400 or more degrees. Scrub potatoes with cold water, pat dry. Rub the potatoes with Crisco shortening and roast on the oven rake, directly on the rake. Usually takes about an hour depending the size of the potato and how many you are roasting. Of course, the potatoes are usually being roasted at the same time as the meatloaf, so sometimes it takes longer for the potatoes than the protein. The only time I've ever poked oven roasted potatoes was when I was roasting a large number of them, probably a dozen or more.

After the hike, some of us went to the expensive restaurant on the mountains. Then some of us went to the less expensive restaurant on the mountains. As I recall, there were two restaurants on the alps. The bottom where we got on the tram back to Gimmelwald had two small take away restaurants, meaning that we order at the counter and sit on a bench. There was only One item for each. One take away had long hot dogs. The other take away had rosti, which is similar to American hash browns, but the rosti was much better! You get a big serving of the Rosti for 4 francs? or was it 3? This year when I had country home fries for Sunday brunch a few weeks ago, it tasted exactly like the rosti that I had in Switzerland.<br /><br />Also love potato pancakes!
