Roasted Potatoes & Creamy Tomatillo Dip

Here it is, folks: my 1st home-grown jalapeño recipe. Even though I know I shouldn’t have picked the sucker just yet, I did. Couldn’t wait. And it was perfect! I’m always trying to come up with new recipes for roasted potatoes, and well, these are fabulous. And not just because of the jalapeño. No, really. I made a slightly different ranch seasoning and used it not only for my roasted potatoes,…

    Ranch Roasted Potatoes

    And here’s another super easy ‘what to do with ranch seasoning mix‘ recipe: Ranch Roasted Potatoes, even though I think the name doesn’t fully cover the load. You see, I found a recipe for basic ranch roasted potatoes over at the Hidden Valley website and, tasty as it looked, I figured I could perhaps do some more with it. Up the flavors a bit. Oh, and just for the record: this…

      Potato, Cauliflower & Pea Curry

      You can never have enough cauliflower recipes, right? Here’s an easy, vegetable and potato curry that was born out of necessity when I wanted to make a cauliflower casserole one day and found myself having to cut away most of it because there were some serious brown spots only 2 days after I had bought it. Thanks a lot, Albert Heijn. I looked online for recipes and found an idea…

        Herb Roasted Potatoes

        Making the perfect roasted potatoes isn’t always easy for me. You have to strike a balance or you’ll find yourself biting into a charred potato with the inside still crunchy. Not good. Roasting is the most amazing technique to me because it helps bring out the natural flavor and sweetness of the food, so it’s important to keep that naturalness. The seasoning has to be intense enough to coat your…

          Feta, Scallion & Potato Cakes

          I’m always on the lookout for new potato recipes and I dislike throwing food away.  In everyday life, these two things translates to me ending up with a fridge full of leftovers—waiting for a ride on my fork of doom—without a clear plan of action. I hate it when that happens. That’s why I was so thrilled to find a different (different is good in my world) recipe for them…

            Slow-Cooked Bombay Potatoes

            Maybe you’ve noticed a lack of rice recipes in my site? Let me explain why: it’s not that I don’t like rice, but somehow it botches my blood sugar to a level where I’ll be voraciously eating anything in sight, starting one hour after swallowing the last spoonful of rice. It ain’t pretty. And I’m not even exaggerating. I try to replace rice with potatoes wherever possible. Starchy too, sure,…
