Turnip and Potato Patties

Submitted by apprentice Cheryl Kastanowski

Ingredients:
1/2 pound turnips, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 1/3 cups)
6 oz potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
2 1/2 Tbsp thinly sliced scallion greens
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Grapeseed oil, peanut oil, or canola oil (high smoke point vegetable oils)
Salt and pepper

Directions:
1. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the turnip and potato cubes for 15 to 17 minutes, until they are tender, and drain them. In a bowl, mash them with a fork and stir in the scallions, the egg, flour, and salt and pepper to taste.

2. Coat the bottom of a large, heavy bottomed skillet with about 1/4-inch of the oil. Heat the pan on medium high heat until the surface of the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke. Spoon 1/4-cup mounds of the turnip potato batter into the pan, flattening them into 1/2-inch thick patties with the back of a spatula. Fry the patties until they are golden, turning them once, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain off excess oil.

Makes 6 patties.

Zucchini and Feta Fritatta (with Potato)

Source: Kitchen Daily

Ingredients:
2 medium red potatoes, about 3/4 pound, cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 large eggs
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese, about 3 ounces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Preheat broiler.
Bring potatoes to a brisk simmer in a small saucepan of salted water, then cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.  Whisk together eggs and 1/4 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Cook zucchini in 1 Tablespoons oil in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just tender and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in potatoes and tomatoes, then pour in eggs and cook, lifting up cooked eggs around edge using a heatproof rubber spatula to let as much raw egg as possible flow underneath, until edge is set, about 2 minutes (top and center will still be very loose).  Sprinkle cheese evenly over top and broil frittata about 6 inches from heat until set, slightly puffed around edge and golden, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Loosen edge of frittata and slide onto a cutting board.  Cut frittata into wedges and serve topped with salad.

Grilled Fingerling Potatoes with Crema and Chile Powder

Waxy fingerling potatoes like Russian Banana and Rose Finn Apple respond beautifully to grilling. Boil them first, then halve and sear them until they are golden brown and crusty all over. Drizzle them with crema, the thick cultured cream sold in Mexican markets, and sprinkle with chile powder to give them a Mexican accent. Serve with a grilled skirt steak, chicken, or ribs.

Ingredients:
1 pound fingerling potatoes, unpeeled
1 T extra virgin olive oil
Kosher or sea salt
¼ cup crema or sour cream
Ancho chile powder or other chile powder
1 Tbs minced fresh cilantro

Directions:
1. Prepare a moderate charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium (375°F)

2. Put the potatoes in a medium pot and add water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook just until you can pierce the potatoes easily, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut in half lengthwise.

3. Brush the potatoes all over with the olive oil and season with salt. Place, cut side down, directly over the coals or gas flame and grill until richly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes and grill on the skin side until nicely crisped, about 5 minutes longer.

4. Place the potatoes, cut side up, on a serving platter. In a small bowl, whisk the crema with just enough water to make it pourable. Drizzle the crema over the potatoes, then sprinkle with chile powder to taste and garnish with the cilantro. Serve immediately.

One Pan Healthy Sausage and Veggies

From chelseasmessyapron.com

Ingredients:
2 cups (~1 small) red potato
3/4 pound green beans
1 large head of broccoli (~ 1 and 1/2 cups)
1 and 1/2 cups chopped bell peppers (2 large or 6-7 mini sweet bell peppers)
9 ounces smoked sausage (I use turkey or chicken, not ground sausage)
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt

Serve with: fresh parsley, quinoa/rice, lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
Prep the veggies: chop the red potatoes (pretty small pieces here so they will be tender in time), trim the green beans and halve (see video above recipe), chop the broccoli, chop the peppers into thick squares, and coin the sausage in thick slices.
Place all the veggies and sausage on a sheet pan. Pour the olive oil and all the spices on top. Toss to evenly coat all the veggies and meat.
Bake 15 minutes, remove from the oven and flip/stir all the veggies around. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender and sausage is browned.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the veggies and sausage as soon as they come out of the oven.

Enjoy with rice or quinoa and fresh parsley if desired.

Leek Potato Salad

An easy and delicious appetizer for any barbecue occasion!

Link can be found here: https://cravingsjournal.com/potato-salad-with-leeks/

Ingredients:

For the potatoes

1 kg potatoes

For the leeks

2 leeks
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

For the sauce

200 g mayonnaise it can be low fat
100 ml olive oil
1/4 tsp paprika
1 lime juice only
Leaves of fresh oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
100 g capers

Instructions:

For the potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes. Don’t cut them too small.
Fill a large pot with plenty of water and a tablespoon of water. Drop the potatoes in and they go over medium heat.
Once it starts to boil adjust the heat so that you only see a few bubbles coming up. If the water is too hot the potatoes will start to mash on the outside before cooking all the way through.
Once they’re al dente (once again, we don’t want to make mashed potatoes), strain them and let them dry out.

For the leeks

Discard the dark green tops of the leeks.
Slice the leek in half lengthwise and wash it under running water, moving the layers around so the water can clean it properly.
Slice the leek, discarding the last bit of the base.
Cook the leek over medium heat with olive oil, salt and pepper until it’s soft and starting to become golden.
Let it cool down completely.

For the sauce

Mix the mayonnaise, olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon jiuce and oregano leaves.
Add the potatoes, leeks, capers and mix.

Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie

Link can be found here https://pinchofyum.com/vegetarian-shepherds-pie
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
One onion
16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
6 carrots, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
fresh herbs to taste (I used 1 sprig of rosemary, thyme, and a bay leaf)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup red wine
1–2 cups veggie broth
1 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
2 cups frozen peas (or fresh)
6 Yukon gold potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup butter or olive oil
salt to taste

Instructions:

Make the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes. Boil them until fork tender (you want them to mash easily). Drain, mash, and mix in yogurt and butter. Season to taste. (You can also use the Instant Pot method which is quick and easy! That’s what I do.)
Make the veggies: In a large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots, and whole herbs (you will pull the herbs out later). Sauté until carrots are softened.
Make the gravy: Add tomato paste and flour to the pot and stir. Pour in the red wine (sizzzzle) and scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook out for a minute or two. Slowly add the broth, stirring it in until a gravy starts to form. Season with salt. Simmer over low heat to get it thickened even further.
Bake: Remove the herbs. Stir in the peas, spread the mashed potatoes on top (brush with butter to be extra awesome), and bake for 15 minutes at 350. I finished mine on the broil setting for a few minutes to get it nice and brown on top.
Serve!
