Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes

Recipe Source: allrecipes.com

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep Time: 10 Minutes / Cook Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pint heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
4 slices provolone cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2 quart or larger casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Dot with half of the butter cut or pinched into small pieces. Arrange half of the garlic slices over the potatoes, then pour half of the heavy cream over. Sprinkle one cup of Cheddar cheese over the layer, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering of potatoes, garlic, cream and Cheddar cheese, then top with the slices of provolone cheese. Season again with salt and pepper.

Bake for 1/2 hour in the preheated oven, then sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top. This will create a semi-hard cheese crust. Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when tested with a fork.

Potato Chip Bites

Recipe Source: domesticgoddess.ca

Ingredients:

1 potato (I used Yukon Gold)
vegetable oil (enough to shallow fry the potato slices)
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
juice of ½ lemon
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
tablespoon olive oil
any fresh herbs — I used oregano and parsley, sliced finely
pepper and salt to taste
grated pecorino-romano cheese
lemon pepper

Directions:

Slice potato into as thin slices as you can (using a mandolin would make this easier, but I don’t have one…yet) — 1/8″?

Heat vegetable oil in large, shallow frying pan until hot enough (use a small slice of potato to test; when bubbles form it’s ready). Preheat oven to 200 F.

Shallow fry the potato slices in batches, just browning them (turning them to do both sides). Remove and give a light sprinkling of sea salt. Drain on paper towel and then transfer to wire rack on cookie sheet.

When all potato slices are done, put cookie sheet into oven to keep warm. Mix together the feta, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, herbs, and salt and pepper.

Take cookie sheet out of oven and turn up to 325 F. Pile spoonfuls of the cheese mixture on top of the chips. Sprinkle a small amount of pecorino-romano cheese on top of each and top with a sprinkling of lemon pepper. Put back into oven at higher temperature for about 10 minutes.

Serve on small Asian soup spoons or large tray.

Domestic Goddess notes:

Next time I make this I’m going to use sweet potatoes…much better for you and that lovely sweet, smoky taste to boot.

You could fry the slices of potato in spicy olive oil as well…how good can it get?

Oven Fried Potatoes

Recipe Source: conservativebookstore.com

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep: 15 mins.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon basil
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash pepper
2 tablespoons oil

Directions:

Spread oil in 13-by-9 inch baking dish.

Clean and cut potatoes into bite sized chunks. Toss potatoes in pan and sprinkle on spices. Put in oven at 375 degrees for about an hour possibly an hour and a half. Start these bad boys early because you are never quite sure how long it will take for them to become edible. I like to leave mine bake long enough for the outside to become crunchy and the inside to become soft.

This is one of those dishes that it is hard to screw up unless you forget to check on it once in a while.

Nicki’s Notes:

My mother used to make these, but used Lawry’s seasoned salt and parmesan cheese in the place of the spices in this recipe. Also, make extra sauce and cover with half before putting into oven, and with the rest about halfway through cooking.
