Spanish Roasted Potatoes with Tomato Sauce

I am always looking for new ways to make potatoes. "Patatas Bravas" is a classic Spanish tapas dish and is served in bars all over Spain. The sauce has a slight bite from the Tabasco, hence the name bravas, which means "fierce." They are also called "angry" potatoes. You can serve them with toothpicks as a snack or as a side dish.

Roasted Balsamic Potatoes, Onions and Broccoli

Some of my best recipes have come off the packages of products. This one I found on the side of a bag of Pacific Gold Baby White Potatoes. It was one of those things that I happened to have all the ingredients and I have a daughter whose is mad keen for balsamic soaked anything. It goes well with Uncle Russell’s Flank Steak.

Hash Brown Potato Quiche

You had me at hash browns....

I received a flyer in the mail from Ralph's/Krogers supermarket and there was this recipe for Hash Brown Potato Quiche. What is wrong with this? Nothing! Paula Deen has a version (which makes complete sense). I have merged the two recipes. A some green chillis would not go amiss in this recipe.

Red, White & Blue Potato Salad

I catered an event for 100 people. I was asked to make potato salad. Making potato salad makes me nervous! People are very particular about their potato salad and making it for 100 is tricky. I used 3 kinds of potatoes - red, purple and white. I did this so I did not have to peel them (all 16 pounds!). Fortunately, I had the foresight to boil the purple ones separately. They would have turned the entire dish a grayish / blueish tinge. I scaled the recipe down for you! This is a very simple and basic recipe, but it ended up being a big hit.
