Indian Cauliflower and Potatoes
Indian Cauliflower and Potatoes are so good, it has cumin, ginger, coriander and turmeric. Indian food is something I could eat every day. I love it. I started eating it after I got out of college in New York city. It was the cheapest possible meal. For $4 you could have a feast. I used to order Vindaloo and each time I would want it hotter and hotter. It got to the point that my friends told me to stop because it looked like I would have a heart attack! I did taper off, my stomach needed a break! After living in New York, I moved to London - a virtual Indian food mecca. Now we live in Los Angeles, where good Indian is scarce. This week my husband and I tried a new place - finally some stellar Indian food! We brought home leftovers and to bulk it out for the next day, I made this cauliflower dish. Cauliflower and potato are a perfect vehicle for the cumin, ginger, coriander and turmeric. By the way, the restaurant is called Nirvana in Arcadia, CA.

Lemon & Thyme Potato Gratin
I made this Lemon Thyme Potato Gratin for a client (which I will have to admit, I had never made before!). She called me a week later and said it was the best potato gratin they had ever had, and can I make it again for a party using her pan. It's based on a Martha Stewart recipe. I used cream instead of milk - maybe that's why it was so good! Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the final product because I delivered it par baked...

Party Potatoes
Party potatoes are also called Funeral Potatoes. Funeral potatoes are a traditional Mormon potato hotdish, or casserole, that originated in the U.S. state of Utah. The dish usually consists of hash browns or cubed potatoes, cheese (cheddar or Parmesan), onions, cream soup (chicken, mushroom, or celery) or a cream sauce, sour cream, and is topped with butter and corn flakes or crushed potato chips. Reminiscent of my mid-west upbringing, where every side dish had a crunchy topping. However, this recipe is minus the crunch!

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.

Baked French Fries
Who doesn't love French Fries? I found a French fry cutter tool in my mother-in-law's cupboard. She claims she had never seen it before. It screamed MAKE FRENCH FRIES NOW to me! Of course, I did just that. You can add endless kinds of salts, seasonings, Parmesan cheese to this recipe.

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.
