What do you do with your potatoes?
Comments (5)We always stored our potatoes unwashed until I developed a dust allergy. Then we started washing them off with the hose. My husband digs them and puts them in the shade of our garden shed and gives them a gentle spray with the hose and leaves them there for a few hours. Then He takes them to the basement and lays them out on a tarp to finish drying for a couple of days. We can't see much difference in their keeping ability either way. He then puts them in bushel baskets and puts a couple of sheets of newspaper on top and stores them on a shelf in the cold cellar. The humidity is to keep the potatoes from shriveling and drying out too much. You can provide the humidity with a pail of water that you fill every couple of weeks. Longer than that and the water will stagnate....See MoreHow do you organize your baking supplies?
Comments (13)I have Snap-Lock containers, kind of similar to the Lock&Lock. I get them at Walmart and they are perfect. Not a thing gets past them, really airtight. I always find Tupperware a bit difficult to open. With the snap-lock, you just flip the latches up, and when done, lid goes on, and in one motion, snap all latches down (using two hands, you can do all four in one motion). We have some things (like brown sugar) which we use every day, so I really appreciate the ease of these. I have all my baking products in them. Buy just one and I bet you'll be a believer! I checked Walmart.com and they are not there, but there are plenty in the store....See MoreWhat Do You Bake with Your Meatloaf?
Comments (12)It really varies a lot depending on the mood and what type of meatloaf I make. If I use the big oven I might make potatoes of some variety, or use the space for a second meatloaf or a turkey breast or something else to save time and energy. Many times I'll use the Nesco so lid's on and I might pack some little taters & veg around it or on top of it. Many of the meatloaves I make have gravy to go with them but if I go "Italian" style it might be marinara and even some pasta to go with it. I don't really have "one" way of making things. Much depends on the mood, ambition, what's in the house, etc. I don't make special trips often to get one or two ingredients....See MoreDo You Like Fried Potatoes and How do You Like Them
Comments (33)My husband makes the best french fries. He cuts the russet potatoes in rounds....doesn't peel them. Then he cuts them in sticks, so they are about the size and thickness of my little finger. He has a pot of oil, and he dumps them all in at once...which tends to cool the oil a bit, but when the oil reheats and they finish frying, it is like they have been fried twice, which is the real way to make french fries. You fry them, drain them, and then fry them again. They are lightly crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I used to always cut my french fries length ways, but after seeing how he does it, I changed to his way. His still taste better than mine. I am another one who loves an electric skillet. I don't think I have ever fried potatoes in one, but I like frying chicken it better than I do using cast iron. And I have over 100 pieces of cast iron cookware. Or, did have. I have given a lot of it away....See Moreseagrass_gw Cape Cod
