Potato Nuggets.





4 tablespoons butter


6 large potatoes cooked


11/4 cups flour


2 eggs, lightly beaten


2 tablespoon chopped parsley


1/2 cup finely choped pimento


1 teaspoon salt


Freshly groundly pepper


11/2-2 quarts vegetable oils





Heat the butter in a heavy sauce pan and add the potatoes and 1 cup of flour. Stir constantly, over moderate heat, for about 5 more minutes., continuing to stir .


Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, pimiento, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning.


With 2 teaspoons, shape the mixture into 36 balls. Dust each one lightly with the remaining flour.


Heat the oil to 375 degrees and when it is ready, fry the nugget in 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each time. Drain on paper towels. They can be kept for a short time, uncovered , in a warm oven.
It's not fancy, but the loaded mashed potatoes dish is wonderful.


I use instant but she can use the real deal if she likes to cook.


After potatoes are cooked, add 3 strips of chopped bacon, 1/4 teaspoon of chives, 1 cup sharp cheddar(or any cheese she likes) and Dirky cheddar onions.


Stir all these together and serve promptly. Refrigerate leftovers and reheat on the stove for breakfast along with sausage and toast.


Spicy potatoes(really simple)


After making potatoes(mashed, cubed or any way you want them) sprinkle with WHITE pepper and garlic powder to taste.


Gives them a great kick and super simple.


You can also add red pepper flakes to this to kick it even higher in the heat department.
a most requested homemade scallop potatoe receipe:





fill a glass baking dish with cut, cubed or sliced baking potatoes. While filling pan, toss handfulls of chedder/mozzarella shredded cheese in at random (I use the pre shredded pizza or mexican blends you can buy in a bag in all grocery stores). USE MORE CHEESE THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED!


Once pan is full, cover the top of pototoes with one more layer of cheese. put tablespoons of butter in each corner of pan, and a few randomly placed throughout also on top of mixture. Pour about a 1/2 cup milk (1/2 cup for every 5 medium sized potatoes is a good mix).


sprinkle with pepper or a garlic herb blend (no salt).


I bake covered on 400, stirring every 15 minutes, for roughly 1 hour, longer if a huge pan is made. Last 15 minutes bake uncovered to brown the top.








Another receipe I made my own- cut red potatoes into quarters. Put in baking dish, bread pan, cake pan, whatever. Spread pototoes out so they are not buried. dump alot of melted butter mixed with black pepper, seasoning salt, and minced garlic over the raw potatoes. cook uncoverd in oven on 350 until potatoes are beginning to brown, and can be peirced with a toothpick.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------


4 Potatoes


1 md Onion


1 Egg


2 tb Matzoh meal


1/2 ts Salt


1/8 ts Pepper, white


1/4 c Oil





add more potatoes for additional people keeping the


4:1 ratio. Description: Peel potatoes and place in


cold water until ready to prepare latkes. Starting


with onions, alternately grate some onions on large


holes of grater and some potatoes on smallest holes.


This will keep potato mixture from blackening. (Or


use food processor. The steel blade produces a smooth


textured latke and the grating disk a crunchy one.)


Press out as much liquid as possible and reserve


starchy sediment at bottom of bowl. Return sediment to


mixture, but not liquid. Blend potatoes with eggs,


matzoh meal, salt, and white pepper. Heat 1鈥?of oil in


frying pan. Drop about 1 tb mixture for each latke


into skillet and fry, turning once. When golden and


crisp on each side, drain on paper towels. Serve with


yogurt, sour cream, sugar, or applesauce.

Wash and slice potatoes. Peel and slice onions to taste. Place potatoes and onions in foil (to grill), or a 9 x 13 baking pan. Dot liberally with butter, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Grill over medium coals, or bake at 350 degrees until potatoes are tender.





I tend to use LOTS of onions. Sometimes I use seasoning salt instead of the other spices.
try this the when your cooking potatoes scrub them well then peel them keeping the potato skins aside cook your potatos. this is the best bit deep fry the potato skins and season you have a nice snack for later on.


This way not one bit of the potatoe is wasted;
