Sage is used in many recipes in the autumn and winter months. I had an enormous amount of sage growing in the backyard for the past several years and now it's all dead! I'm not sure what happened. I live in Los Angeles, where it rarely gets cold. I recently bought a new sage plant. It has about 6 leaves on it, which I used for these delicious potatoes.

Crispy Potato Waffles

I made these crispy potato waffles. The potato has to be the most versatile of all vegetables. I love coming up with new ways to make potatoes. These savory potato waffles are similar to potato pancakes, but in waffle form. The potato waffle has one advantage, it reheats exceptionally well and therefore can be made in advance. I put them in the oven at 275 degrees to keep warm. I've also been known to make grilled cheese sandwiches in a waffle iron!

Balsamic Roasted Potato Wedges

These Balsamic Roasted Potato Wedges get tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper and then sprinkled with balsamic vinegar at the end of baking. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These potato wedges are so crisp and flavorful, you'll want to eat them as a side dish for every meal!

Potatoes with Bacon, Apples & Onions

Eric, my husband, was in charge of the side dish to go with the Pork Chops with Figs in Hard Cider. He dug around in the larder and came up with this stellar starchy side!

Cheesy Potato & Ham Chowder

While surfing the web, found this recipe on an Indiana Farmer's site (yes, you know you are leading an exciting life when you are checking out farmer's websites!). I have no idea why I made it, because I generally hate soup of any kind. It was really delicious and my husband said we need to keep this recipe in the family archives. I added some white pepper to it, but the simplicity is what really makes this soup good. Some crumbled bacon bits would not go amiss as a garnish...

Hasselback Potatoes UnPlugged

I love Hasselback Potatoes! Hasselback potatoes cut in such a way as to resemble a fan or accordion when roasted. The name is derived from the restaurant where they were first introduced in the 1940s, Hasselbacken in Stockholm, Sweden which opened in that city in 1748 and where they are called hasselbackspotatis. The outside of the potato becomes crisp and brown while the inside is soft and creamy. This version is sort of cheating because you cut the potatoes all the way through.

Scalloped Potatoes & Ham

This is what I made for dinner last night. Talk about comfort food! I remember growing up we used to eat a lot of scalloped potatoes. Brings back memories of my childhood. I'll be making it again.

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.
