Comments (32)Angelaid, I love potato pancakes but I would say that is is my favourite version. There is no secret to making these pancakes. I've made them with mashed potatoes that I made specifically for making these pancakes and I've also made extra mashed potatoes for dinner and saved the leftovers for these pancakes. When I make them with the leftover mashed potatoes there is also butter in the mix. This is not a stiff or thick batter. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop up the batter. Mere Blanc's Potato Pancakes From:www.thedailyspud.com with very minor changes. 2 small baking potatoes 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup All-Purpose flour 2 eggs, separated 1-1/2 tablespoons heavy cream Pinch of salt Pepper Fresh chives (or green onions) Butter for frying Cook potatoes until tender Mash with a little milk. Let potatoes cool before adding the remaining milk, cream, flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and chives. Beat Egg Whites until stiff. Fold into potato mixture. Do not over mix. This is a light but thick batter. Heat a griddle or skillet. ( I used a rectangle electric frying pan) . Brush with butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup drop batter on to griddle. Cook until pancakes are brown and then flip. Serve with sour cream. Here is a link that might be useful: Potato Pancakes...See MoreWhat's for your New Years Dinner?
Comments (14)I cooked a big meal for us and our neighbors. A huge oven roasted brisket, rice and gravy, Black eyes, cabbage, potatoes and onions and sausage with cheese, green and yellow wax beans and a big mixed berry cobbler. We were working on it all day and I am dead tired now but it was all very good and much enjoyed. I have not bought a big brisket in a while. We used to get those big packer untrimmed briskets for 99c a lb all the time. Well they must be made of gold now because the cheapest one I could find was $50.00. I just couldn't believe it but my sister said she paid $75.00 for the one she cooked for Christmas. That's crazy when you have to cut at least half of the weight off because it's thick heavy fat. I had a grocery sack full of fat we trimmed off of it,several pounds. At $4-5 a pound that hurts to throw it in the trash! I guarantee you none of the brisket will be wasted. I am going to freeze it and make sure I find recipes for it. It makes great sandwiches. So that's what we had and now I want to go to bed....See MoreWhat's for New Year's Day dinner and where will you eat it?
Comments (52)We were at a gathering of my wife's family in Vermont for New Years. I was volunteered to cook dinner on New Year's eve. I wasn't quite sure what to make but the two previous nights there was Jambalaya, then Chicken Enchiladas, I felt I had to go in a different direction. At first I was planning and buying ingredients to make an Irish Beef Stew, for about 25 people, but after getting back to the house from the store and remembering that I had brought a container of the spice blend Ras el Hanout, I decided to change it up and make Moroccan Beef Stew. Whatever that is, :-) I had purchased about 13 lbs of sirloin roast, plus onions, carrots, parsnips, green peas, and yukon gold potatoes, I decided that the onions, carrots and parsnips would work, but I should not use the potatoes and should instead use sweet potatoes. Fortuitously a nephew had brought a large box of carrots, winter squash, and sweet potatoes from his nearby farm, so i felt I was good to go. I cubed the meat, and liberally sprinkled it with the spice blend, plus some cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, which were probably in the blend but not enough, and left the meat sit in the walk-in-fridge/unheated garage overnight. The next afternoon I started cutting up the vegetables, and browning the meat, and started two pots simmering with the meat and onions. After a couple of hours, I also cubed a butternut squash, and roasted it, and then added all of the vegetables to the stew, and cooked it another 45 minutes. Someone else helped out by making a large rice pilaf, (although couscous would have been a better option) and although I felt the stew wasn't quite thick enough, everyone raved about how good it tasted. After a little more refinement to the recipe I think it will be a real winner....See MoreNew Years Dinner
Comments (10)Fried pork chops ,Mac and cheese, collard greens,purple hull peas,creamed corn and cornbread for SO. For me,brisket from the freezer which I previously cooked in the crockpot with gravy, and I'll eat it over rice. I'll probably eat some of the Mac and cheese too, I'm making a big pan of it. Good thing I like to cook. I often make 2 different meals for us. I hate peas and collard greens and am not a fan of pork chops in any form....See Morewritersblock (9b/10a)
