Potato Gnocchi
My friend Melanie and her sister Donna invited me to dinner last night to make homemade Gnocchi, which are delicate, pillowy potato dumplings. Their Italian grandmother taught them how to make these wonderful delicious gnocchi. There is a bit of a "technique" to master, but once you get the hang of it, they are easy and fun to make. You can serve with many ways. They served this with simple marinara sauce and freshly grated Parmesan.

Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp
Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp is the new craze in condiments. ... It's one of China's, and possibly the world's, tastiest chili oils. Spicy Chili Crisp is the classic, full of crispy onions, chilies and Sichuan pepper bits. It's used mostly as a condiment or ingredient in Sichuan cold sauces. My husband came home last night after a 12 hour flight from NY to LA (long story!), so I made him this Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp for breakfast. I thought it might wake him up! It turns out it is really delicious and not too spicy.

Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust
I was waiting for my husband and my mother who were flying in from New York and their plane was diverted and delayed for about 4 hours. So I made this Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust for when they got here. It's a great because it can be made ahead. This is the 4th quiche I have used this hash brown crust recipe. I will come clean and tell you that I bought frozen shredded potatoes! I am way to lazy to shred my own. Also, this curst actually has cheese in it! So this makes it gluten-free. Anyway, I love this quiche which has Boursin (an herbed cheese) in the filling.

Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd's pie is a meat pie with a crust or topping of mashed potato. The dish was created to use up leftover roasted meat. In England, it's often served on Mondays refashioning Sunday lunch into an easy weeknight meal. It's the ultimate comfort food. I make this often for kids at school using tater tots instead of mashed potatoes.

These Melting Potatoes are crispy on the outside and melting on the inside. Named for the texture, these potatoes are baked in a way that dissolves the internal structure into an incredibly soft and almost mashed potato-like consistency on the inside.
