Potato Soup





Soup:


1/4 cup unsalted butter


1 small onion, coarsely chopped


1 medium leek, white part only, coarsely chopped


1 rib celery, coarsely chopped


1 sprig fresh thyme


4 cloves garlic, crushed with a chef's knife


1 slice apple-smoked bacon or other smoky bacon


1 bay leaf


3 Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick


1 1/2 cups chicken stock


1 1/2 cups heavy cream


3 tablespoons creme fraiche


Salt and freshly ground white pepper





In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add onion, leek, celery, thyme, garlic, bacon, and bay leaf. Sweat the mixture over medium-low heat without allowing it to color at all, stirring occasionally, for 5 or 6 minutes or until very tender. Add potatoes, stock, and cream. Liquid should cover potatoes; if it does not, add a little water. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for about 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Puree mixture in a blender and add creme fraiche. Push the soup through a fine strainer into a clean saucepan and season, to taste, with salt and white pepper.
Well, you can add bacon, cheese, ham, turkey, Eggs, onions, garlic, and different herbs and spices in mashed potatoes.





If you are getting bored with mashed potatoes, make slow cooker recipes with potatoes. The websites I suggest to use are:





Better Homes and Garden - http://www.bhg.com.


Betty Crocker/Bisquick - http://www.bettycrocker.com





Betty Homes and Garden have great slow cooker recipes with potatoes. Have you tried any?
Potato Pancakes..just grate potatoes, add some baking powder, a little flour, an egg, salt, and fry in oil. Some people add a little diced onion. serve with sour cream, or sour milk
I too don't like potato salad. However I make my version of potato salad with good olive oil and Tastefully Simple season salt, instead of mayo and whatever else people use. This dish is best served at room temperature and you don't have to worry about it going bad at picnics. I also like buttered or parsley potates.





Oven roasted potatoes are good too. The recipe is on the Lipton Onion soup box or package. You cut up the potatoes, toss them in olive oil and soup mix and bake them in the oven til they're done.





Also have you considered other starches? I like rice and cous cous. They are both really easy to make and very inexpensive. Cous Cous cooks in 5 mins! You can put all kinds of seasoning in rice and cous cous too. Cook them in stock for an extra layer of flavor.

I love to make hashbrown casserole for my family and they love it too. You can do this in the crock pot or the oven depending on the time you have.





2 packs hashbrowns


2 cans cream of mushroom soup


2 cups of shredded cheese ( I like sharp cheddar)


1 small carton of sour cream


salt and pepper to taste


1 tsp garlic


1 stick melted butter


1/2 tsp onion powder








Melt stick of butter and mix with hashbrowns (do not thaw hashbrowns)





Mix in cream of mushroom soups and cheese.





If you are using the crock pot do not add sour cream until you are ready to serve. If you are using the oven add sour cream and then put in a greased 9X13 pan or a greased crock pot. Top with a small amount of cheese.





Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until brown and bubbley. Cook in crock or 2 hours.





Enjoy!
When I was small, my mom made me a peeled baked potato with a bit of butter and garlic and she would make a happy face with ketchup! It always made me hungry.
Try gratin recipes... here's one for sweet potatoes (also know as kumara)





Kumara pie





INGRIDIENTS


1kg of sweet potatoes (kumara)


25g butter


100g onions, very thinly sliced into rings


500ml of sour cream


125ml of double cream


1 level tsp of garam masala


large pinch of nutmeg


1 clove of garlic


salt %26amp; pepper








METHOD


Preheat oven to 180掳/350掳f/gas 4


Peel the potatoes, removing any black eyes. Cut into 5mm thick slices. Rub the sides of an oven-proof dish with a little of the butter and cut the rest into small cubes. Mix all the ingredients together and spread evenly in the dish. Place in the pre-heated oven and cook for at least 1 hour until the potatoes are soft and some are beginning to go crisp and turn brown on top. Serve with salad.
If you don't mind a lot of flavor I sometimes fry salt pork and make a gravy by adding flour and garlic salt that I puor over raw sliced potatoes and bake in oven until done (45min)
