Potato Salad

About 7 to 10 Average size Potatoes unpeeled or peeled cut into bite-sized pieces,
1 small onion finely chopped,
1 small green capsicum chopped,
2-3 celery sticks finely chopped,
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley.

DRESSING:
3/4 cup mayonnaise (Edmonds Egg Mayo is very nice for this, Best brand is nice also, or nice creamy homemade),
1-2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice,
2 tablespoons sour cream.

Cook potato in a large pan of boiling water for 5 minutes or until just tender (a sharp pointed knife just pierces), drain and cool completely.
Combine the onion, capsicum, celery and parsley with the cooled potato in a large salad bowl.
Mix together mayonnaise, vinegar and sour cream, season with salt and pepper.
Pour about two thirds of dressing over salad and toss gently to combine without breaking the potato, if well coated then keep remainder in fridge for future use, if still a little light add remainder to taste or liking.
Garnish with a little chopped parsley.

Hot potato salad!!
500gs potatos
French Onion soup mix
250mls cream

Peel or leave skins on, cube into similar sized cubes, cook in microwave on high in dish wrapped in plastic wrap, cut a few air holes. Cook until tender, in oven 180o mix cream and mix in french onion soup mix. Let this come to the boil (gets thick) and has a crust on it. Mix in potatos and heat. This is an easy dish to do at the last minute up to the cream going in the oven, will take about 20mins. It is delicious, naughty and everyone loves it, a Xmas favourite.

Here's one of our favs, Peel and chop as many spuds as desired into roughly one inch cubes, par cook in microwave for 6-7 mins with no water, then add 3-4 cloves of crushed garlic (more if you adore garlic!), then add 2 teaspoons tabasco sauce and enough olive oil to coat spuds. Place on a oiled baking tray or roasting dish and cook at 200 C untill crispy and golden, usually around 30 mins. Great with anything!

Sounds exciting. Do you mix the garlic, tabasco & oil & then coat spuds. The tabasco would give it some zing I'm picking. Green or red?

Its yummy! i just throw everything in with the spuds and mix, i use red tabasco but any good hot sauce would do it!

CREAMY PARMESAN MASH

1kg potatoes, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
40g butter, softened
80g grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup (180ml) hot milk, approximately

Place potato in medium saucepan with enough cold water to barely cover the potato. Boil, uncovered, over medium heat about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Using the back of a wooden spoon, push potato through fine sieve (or use a potato ricer) into large bowl. Stir in butter, cheese and enough hot milk, until mash is smooth and fluffy.

Serve topped with a little extra butter, if desired.

A tip for good mash is to ALWAYS add hot milk to the potato as cold milk will make it go sticky.

another good tip is not to peel and cut the potato before boiling it. Instead it should be boiled in their skins to prevent potato absorbing water

sardis potato dish
boil potato and mash. add sauté onions, bacon or ham, chopped parsley
next make a choux pastry,

260ml milk 1 tsp sugar pinch of salt 100g butter
120g plain flour 4 free-range eggs
when you make the choux pastry,, do not make the mixture as runner as for making profiteroles.. this recipe has 4 eggs but only use one or two max.. the mixture should be thick and gluggy. add the choux pastry to the mashed potato and mix again.. grab a small handful and deep fry or shallow fry.. the potato mix will double in size and go crispy on the outside and soft in the middle..

Try Mock Whitebait or potato fritters. [Edmonds do have a recipie]
Kids luv them. if not keen on veges you can grate carrot or pumpkin or anything grateable in with the grated potato. watch them go. you wont be able to cook them fast enough.
Good for a Friday nights tea. I have even grated a sausage into my mixture.

HALF-BAKED POTATOES

Scrub the potatoes (as you would for baking them), then cut each unpeeled potato in half and brush the cut surface with oil or melted butter. Place the potatoes, cut-surface-down on a baking tray.
Bake at 180ºC-200ºC for about 35-45 minutes (depends on the shape and size of the potatoes), until the potatoes give slightly when pressed.
The skin-side will be baked, the cut-side will be roasted. :-))
