Wasabi mashed Potatoes
Serves 4


1 pound russet potatoes, peeled (I like Yukon Gold potatoes)
Salted water
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream, heated
1 tablespoon roasted garlic puree (See separate recipe for Whole Roasted Garlic)
1/2 pound spinach, stems removed
1 teaspoon wasabi mustard powder
Wasabi oil, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper





1. Cut the potatoes into large pieces of equal size. Cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain thoroughly. Pass through a food mill and whip in the butter, hot cream and roasted garlic puree.

2. Blanch the spinach in boiling salted water for 10 seconds. Refresh in ice water. Drain thoroughly. Transfer to a blender and add wasabi powder and wasabi oil. Process to a puree. Stir into warm mashed potato. Season with salt and pepper to taste


I still think the best potatoes are Fingerlings cut in half longways then tossed in olive oil, garlic, black pepper and salt, then baked at 350 degrees untill golden brown.

How about a basic mashed potatoe?

I'd start with:
- 2-3 Red Potatoes per serving (peeled & quartered)
- bring to a boil and cook until fork tender
- drain, mash with a potatoe masher
- add half/half
- add sour cream/butter to taste (about 1.5/1 ratio added in small increments to taste)
-salt/pepper to taste
-finish with some bacon bits/cheddar cheese/minced chives

Better yet, use heavy cream. Sea salt is a nice diversion also.

This isn't an actual recipe, but one my wife and I make somewhat frequently for southwest potatoes.

We cut up potatoes in slices like french fries
Put them in a bowl and drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on them
sprinkle a little salt and some southwest seasoning.
put a lid on the bowl and shake them so the seasoning and olive oil are mixed well.
put them in the oven at 425 for about 20 minutes

Thats sounds good and easy. I make fries like that for myself all the time. Except I deep fry the potatoes and use this seasoning.



I discovered it while living in Louisiana, they use it A LOT over there. Over here only few places sell it.

This is the best Potato Soup you will EVER eat!

Sausage and Potato Soup


1 lb. Bulk Sausage (Hot, but mild could be substituted)
1 cup Celery, diced
1 med. Onion, diced
4 or 5 large potatoes, Russet or Yukon Gold
14 cups Chicken stock
1 quart Cream
1 stick Butter
5 tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar
1 to 1.5 tbsp Vanilla Extract
2 tbsp Flat leaf parsley, chopped(leaves only, no stems)

Brown the sausage and onions. Before they are done, add the celery and saute until soft. At the same time, peel and dice the potatoes into one inch chunks, place into the pot and add the chicken stock. Cook until potatoes are fork tender. Add cream and butter, and stir occasionally until butter melts. Add sausage, onions and celery and stir again. Add vanilla and vinegar just a minute or two before serving. Add the parsley right before serving.

I know, I know. "Vanilla and Vinegar? In a soup? Yuck!" I thought the same thing when I found this recipe, but I decided to give it a try. Folks, this is one of the best potato soups I've ever tasted. But, and this is a big but, It has to have the vinegar and vanilla, or else it's bland and not very good tasting. With them, it has a definitely distinct flavor and aroma.

Damn, I'm getting hungry just writing about this!

Recipe:

Buy this box of shrimps at COSTCO


Peel about 5 potatoes (dinner for two+)
Cut them in smaller pieces
Put them in a oven bowl
put shrimp on top (enough to cover entire bowl
If you don't put enough potatoes will be dry so don't be shy Put plenty shrimp
Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 F
Once it done pick the shrimp off the top and mix potatoes with the grease that is on the bottom of the bowl
Potatoes becomes kinda mashed and serve it with shrimp that cooked on top.

Dan Quayle says "I like to eat a potatoe!!"

I take red potatoes and 1/4 them. Then boil them in water that has been well seasoned with garlic for about 5 minutes.

Then take them out, drain them, add 3 cloves of minced garlic, pepper, salt, and sauté them in extra virgin olive oil for about 10 minutes, or until soft.
