The first post of 2018! Where does the time go? I was planning New Years dinner and She Who Must Be Obeyed told me I had a loin roast in the freezer. I took the subtle hint and made Pork Loin & Roast Potatoes. Continue reading Pork Loin & Roast Potatoes
I don’t know about your house but here the last part of the Thanksgiving dinner to go is the turkey meat. The mashed potatoes and stuffing are long gone but we still have turkey meat. I like this recipe to use the last of it up. Continue reading Turkey Hash
Sometimes you need the basics, no fancy sauces or displays, just good classic food. My mom used to dredge fish in flour and then fry it. I loved it for good reason. It gives the fish a great crust and looks nicely browned. It was usually accompanied by home fries. I needed some! Continue reading Pan Fried Haddock and Taters
I grow my own potatoes so I get a lot at once. That creates a problem. Potatoes store well for months but they eventually get to a point where you have to use them. You can either eat potatoes for every meal or you can find a way to prepare and store them. This recipe is a delicious way to store potatoes. It also means I have a convenient potato casserole on hand when I need one. Continue reading Frozen Mashed Potato Casserole
I love fried potatoes and I love Greek potatoes that are cooked in the oven. Why not put the two together? Welcome to Greek Fried Potatoes. Continue reading Greek Fried Potatoes
When you’re grilling, smoking or roasting, it is nice to have potatoes cooking as a side while the meat is getting done. I often do potatoes in foil and this version with a touch of lemon is particularly nice. Continue reading Summer Potatoes
I made my own Berbere Spice mix in a previous post. This spice blend is quite hot but the background flavours to the heat are very nice. I thought the spice and complex flavours would go well with potatoes and fired up the Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker to grill some Berbere Grilled Potatoes. Continue reading Berbere Grilled Potatoes
Here was the situation. It was an unseasonably hot spring day here in the mountains. It seemed perfect to cook a steak. She Who Must Be Obeyed agreed if I did the potatoes and cooked the steak to medium. Sigh, she must be obeyed. I fired up the Weber Genesis grill and went to work. Continue reading Grilled Steak and Potatoes
This post is not a recipe. It an example of how I make a meal. It is about as basic as you can get. I cooked a steak and baked potato on my Louisiana Grills Pellet smoker and used one if its best features, the direct flame grill. Continue reading Steak and Baked Potato Dinner
I made Prime Rib in the Louisiana Grills Smoker in the last post. I needed a side dish to go with them and we were not feeling great. Fortunately, She Who Must Be Obeyed love roast potatoes and the smoker was fired up anyway. Smoker Roasted Potatoes it would be. Continue reading Smoker Roasted Potatoes
