Potato Mushroom Casserole

Wed, 16 May 2001 10:42:59 -0400

This recipe has become a regular for me. It can also be divided to make 2 slightly smaller casseroles. I love to mix it up and pop half in a disposable pan and freeze. This way, it is easy to take to friends in need, like after a birth or a death in the family. -- posted by Lisa Hayward

Potato Burgers

Sat, 18 Aug 2001 10:30:56 -0400

An easy change to "real" burgers. Tastes very much like the real thing with all the toppings put on. Make a batch and freeze left overs. -- posted by Tebo

Sarah's Potato Barley Soup

Fri, 19 Oct 2001 17:11:18 -0400

Perogies With 3 Different Fillings

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 15:28:35 -0400

This is a long recipe...sort of fitting, cause if you're crazy enough to make your own perogies it's going to take you a good part of your day! In the mushroom filling, we always use Portobellini mushrooms for a stronger mushroom taste. In any of the fillings you can adjust the quantities to suit your own personal taste. We LOVE garlic so we saw no problem with using 20 cloves in the potato and roasted garlic filling (roasting mellows out the flavor)! -- posted by M&Mers

Polish Pierogies (Potato Cheese)

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 16:37:58 -0400

These pierogies are much better than store bought in my opinion. They take some time to prepare, but they are worth it. Experiment with different fillings...I have tried everything from sauerkraut to tuna salad! If you have never had pierogies, they are pasta pockets usually filled with a potato filling. My grandmother was Polish, and we have always had pierogies at Easter, New Year's and just as a side dish throughout the year. I am always so surprised when people ask what they are because I have always known and just assumed everyone else did :) -- posted by Karen=^..^=

Fifi's Fabulous Mexican Meals for Mutts (or purebreds)

Tue, 07 May 2002 19:18:51 -0400

Hello again, 'Zaar doggies - it's me, Fido. Do you remember that I told you how I was using my "Fido's Favourite Food" (recipe ID # 24812) as bait to try and get a date with a cute little poodle that lives down the street? Well, it worked! She (Fifi is her name) is a very good cook herself, as it turns out. The other day she brought me some of these burritos and, let me tell you, they beat the living daylights out of that Kibbles 'n Bits stuff that my humans are forever dumping in my dish. So, of course, I just had to ask her for the recipe. She did make a point of saying that she feels that it's very important to use ingredients (or ingredient combinations) that your humans don't care for - this prevents them from eating YOUR burritos! Prep time includes back yard potty break time. -- posted by Fido ®

Grandma's Potato Salad

Fri, 31 May 2002 18:15:09 -0400

For a classic potato salad, this is hand's down the best I've ever tasted. It is time consuming, but the end result is definately worth it! This is more of a white color potato salad, don't make the mistake of adding mustard to color it...I tried it once and it ruined the taste...tasted like any other potato salad. This makes lots, but it goes fast! -- posted by yooper

Not-Quite Senate Bean Soup

Mon, 03 Jun 2002 20:36:56 -0400

This is based on the soup served in the U.S. Senate cafeteria - I altered the recipe somewhat to suit my tastes. Dark bread goes very well with it. The soup also freezes well, so you don't need to worry about eating it all at once. -- posted by ChrisMc

Breakfast Burritos (Once a Month Cooking)

Mon, 03 Jun 2002 20:50:07 -0400

Great for that run in the morning breakfast. You can also take frozen burritos with you when going camping. Just place the bag of frozen burritos into the ice chest, and by the time you're ready for breakfast the first morning, the burritos are fully thawed. Then simply reheat them in a large skillet over the campstove or fire grate. -- posted by Tish

Thu, 11 Jul 2002 19:47:27 -0400

Parmesan & Chive Stuffed Potatoes

Fri, 09 Aug 2002 00:46:57 -0400

Delicious stuffed "twice-baked" potatoes... makes a nice side dish for many entrees, and the attractive presentation would be suitable for entertaining. Can be prepared in advance and frozen, and you can cut down on prep time by initially "baking" the potatoes in the microwave. -- posted by Tracy K

Thu, 12 Dec 2002 20:26:15 -0500

This recipe comes from Mr Falafel on the newsgroup alt.food.vegan and it is a great vegan version of the traditional fish and chips. Tastes pretty good and it is as close as you will get to the experience if you are vegetarian. -- posted by Missy Wombat

Make-Ahead Twice-Baked Potatoes

Mon, 24 Mar 2003 20:10:59 -0500

Great to keep in the freezer for busy days or unexpected company! When baking potatoes are on special, I buy a 10-15 pound bag and make about 30-35 of these creamy, delicious potatoes for the freezer. A wonderful side-dish with steaks, roasts, seafood, pork and meatloaf. For variety, sprinkle top of potatoes with real bacon pieces just before serving. To have a meatless lunch, I often heat one of these potatoes in the microwave or toaster oven. -- posted by BeachGirl

Ruskie Pierogi (Pierogi With Cheese & Potato Filling)

Fri, 25 Feb 2005 14:56:58 -0500

A popular Polish dish similar to dumplings or ravioli. pronounced pyeh-RAW-ghee (this is the plural form, just one is called pierog, but they're so good you'll almost never eat just one.) Pierogi can be made with a wide variety of fillings, but the most common are minced cooked meat, sauerkraut & mushrooms, cheese and potatoes, sweet cheese (usually with a touch of vanilla) and blueberries (in summer). Other fillings include buckwheat groats, potatoes & onions and lentils. Common toppings include fried fat-back nuggets, sour cream, melted butter or butter-browned bread crumbs. -- posted by littleturtle

Potato Cheese Croquettes With Chipotle Aioli

Thu, 12 May 2005 14:55:56 -0400

I found a few recipes for potato croquettes here on 'Zaar and sort of melded them together. The chipotle sauce is almost identical to recipe #110288, but I have changed the recipe for the croquettes. The variation is fantastic! How can you deny the goodness of deep-fried potato and cheesiness? These also work well for the freezer. -- posted by C in PA

Frozen Hash Browns Homemade - OAMC

Kittencal's Freezer Fries (Oamc)

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 16:43:00 -0400

If you have an extra morning, then these homemade fries are worth the time to make, they are 100% better than the store bought --- you can refry, bake or drop them in the hot oil from their frozen state, or they may be thawed first --- if you are lucky enough to own a Starfrit brand french fry slicer which is what I have used for years, then this will save so much time, I suggest to purchase one because after you try these fries you will be making them all the time and never go back to frozen again! --- use only red potatoes with the skin on or peeled I prefer them with the skin left on they taste better and also saves the peeling time, if you are leaving the peel on then clean the skins well to remove the dirt ---I usually purchase a 10 or 20 pound bag of red potatoes, slice them and them fry in batches this way I am assured to have lots in my freezer as they go quickly at my house! --- make certain that you have a lot of oil on hand for this --- plan ahead the uncooked fries need to soak in cold water in refrigerator for 8-24 hours before frying, 24 hours is even better. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Freezer Cheesy Potatoes

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 12:34:28 -0400

Kittencal's Stuffed Potatoes (Oamc, Freezer Method)

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 15:57:11 -0500

I have been making these for years, and I always make lots to freeze! --- The potatoes must be baked firstly, cooled completely then frozen, do not omit the eggs and warm the whipping cream with butter on top of the stove firstly, or the potato filling will not freeze properly and become soggy and soft when reheated --- the amounts listed are for 7 jumbo russet potatoes, if you are making to freeze then you may easily double or triple the amounts, keeping the green onion amount as stated in recipe or you may increase slightly --- the potatoes may be used right away or frozen, directions include method for both --- purchase the jumbo russet potatoes for this. -- posted by KITTENCAL

I grew up with my Mom's sweet potato balls for Thanksgiving but I saw this in Food Editors' Favorites submitted by Diane Wiggins of St. Louis for the St. Louis Globe. I thought it sounded different and good. I don't want to lose it. You can make this weeks in advance and freeze it, then simply place it in the oven 20 minutes before serving time. These need to bake from a frozen state so this is a make ahead which is helpful on holidays! -- posted by Oolala
