Denver Potato Gratin

With Thanksgiving only a week away now is the time to start planning your menu (if you haven’t already). If you’re hosting you’ve probably already ordered your turkey and are in the process of figuring out what to serve with it. There are the standards: potatoes, cranberries, gravy and green beans… but then there are… Continue reading Denver Potato Gratin

Super Bowl Hasselback Potatoes

I’ve never been a big potato person. Didn’t matter if they were mashed or roasted, baked or fried, I just never liked the taste or the texture. It didn’t matter if you bathed them in salt or sour cream, bacon or chives. If it was a white potato, I was out. But those orange sweet… Continue reading Super Bowl Hasselback Potatoes

Cheese and Herb Potato Gratin

I wanted to get one more Thanksgiving recipe up before turkey day tomorrow. And since you probably want something easy, that won’t take too long to make, I’m going with this amazing potato dish from Tara Bench. I discovered Bench and this dish, thanks to Melissa’s Produce. Melissa’s hosted a virtual event with Bench where… Continue reading Cheese and Herb Potato Gratin

Zucchini Potato Pancakes

Growing up, there was one thing I could always depend on at Hanukkah: latkes. At least once during the holiday, my mother would get several pounds of potatoes and shred them so that she could make latkes. We always loved latkes. I mean, what’s better than deep fried potatoes in pancake form? Not much, I… Continue reading Zucchini Potato Pancakes

Apple Potato Latkes

The first night of Hanukkah was last night. I love Hanukkah and all that comes with it: lighting the candles, preparing a special meal the first night, the presents (although we don’t give one each of the eight nights) and of course the latkes. The latkes, also known as potato pancakes, are far and away… Continue reading Apple Potato Latkes

Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust

Since St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s posts to all things that are green and/or Irish. Today’s post is both. Well, it’s not exactly Irish per se, but it’s made with potatoes which a lot of people associate with Ireland thanks to the great Irish Potato Famine of the mid… Continue reading Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust

Chocolate Potato Cake with Raspberry Frosting

Last week I attended my first Food Bloggers Los Angeles meeting. It’s a group of local food bloggers who get together once a month to share ideas, socialize and of course eat. Well this month’s meeting was all about potatoes since Don Odiorne, the VP for food service for the Idaho Potato Commission, was the… Continue reading Chocolate Potato Cake with Raspberry Frosting

Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash

Not sure if you remember, but a few months ago I attended a cooking class at The Depot in Torrance.  Well, I had such a good time at that cooking class, I couldn’t wait to do another one.  And since I absolutely love breakfast, I decided the next class I had to attend was the Breakfast in Bed class. … Continue reading Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash

Potato and Green Onion Latkes

First I want to apologize to my readers for being absent the past couple weeks. Between traveling for Thanksgiving, having a cold run though the entire family, and trying to get back to normal, it was hard to check e-mail let alone post a recipe or two to the blog.  But now I and the… Continue reading Potato and Green Onion Latkes
