We all have favorite recipes for the potato. Just in case you need an inspirational nudge, begin with the following and follow your inclinations. Who knows, one of the following might work into your Thanksgiving Holiday dinner.
Potato Wedges are simply that! Scrub, peel and cut into lengthwise wedges, four or five russet potatoes. Wedge them between the pieces of chicken in the baking pan and brush with olive oil. Don't forget to salt and pepper.
Whipped Potatoes are easy. Once you make your own, you will never want to use boxed ones again! Scrub, peel and dice four to six baking potatoes. Simmer in a pot of water until the potatoes are just tender. Drain (save the potato water for your next bread baking!), place in mixing bowl with ½ cup hot milk, three tablespoons butter, salt and pepper to taste. Beat until light and fluffy. Scrape into a microwave bowl, cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. The potatoes heat up beautifully in the microwave at high for five to eight minutes.
Potato Salad comes in every taste, shape and type. My favorite way is to scrub, peel and dice six to eight white rose potatoes, depending on the size. Simmer until just done, drain and place in bowl for mixing. Splash with a quarter cup of cider vinegar. Toss in a packet of dry Italian salad mix, mayonnaise, brown mustard, sweet relish and chopped, hard-boiled eggs. This is just a basis. Taste and adjust to your family's likes. You can have a picnic at your kitchen table when Barbequed Chicken and potato salad make their appearance.
