Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Yields: 4 Servings

1 head garlic, top sliced off
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 to 8 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup milk, warm
½ stick butter, softened
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the cut garlic bulb on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Close the packet and bake in the oven for 40 minutes until softened.

Put the cut potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add salt. Bring to boil, then simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well in a colander.

While the potatoes are still warm, press them through a potatoe ricer or food mill and into a mixing bowl. Whip in the warm milk and softened butter until incorporated and the potatoes are fluffy. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the skins. Add the garlic pulp to the potatoes. Beat again; season with salt and pepper.

Thanksgiving Recipes - SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

Makes 16

1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup apple juice
1 cup well-mashed, cooked sweet potato
3 tablespoons honey (or other sweetener)
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat the oven to 425 º
 
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt. Work
the margarine in with a pastry blender or the tines of a fork until the
mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the apple juice, sweet potato, honey,
and nuts, and work them in to form a soft dough.
 
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead in just enough extra
flour to make the dough lose its stickiness.
 
With floured hands, divide the dough into 16 equal parts. Shape into small
balls and arrange on a lightly oiled cookie sheet, patting them down a bit
to flatten.
 
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of
one tests clean.  Transfer the biscuits to a plate and serve hot.

Potato cookie stamp

Cut a small raw potato in half crosswise. Using a pen or marker, sketch out the design of your stamp. Remember — everything will be reversed, so if you’re using letters (like R.I.P., for instance) make sure you sketch them out backwards so that they’ll come out the right way.
With a very sharp knife, cut around the letters or picture — leaving the part you want to show raised, the rest cut away and discarded. You may have to practice on a couple of potatoes until you get the hang of it — fortunately potatoes are cheap. While this is a great effect for gravestone cookies, you can also do this with other holiday designs at other times of the year.

CORN CHOWDER

1 can (32 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
3 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter

Combine corn, potatoes, onion, salt and pepper, and chicken broth
in crockpot. Cover; cook on LOW for 7-9 hours. Depending on how
chunky you like your chowder, puree half the batch in a blender or
food processor, or puree all of it for a smooth, creamy soup. Then
return mixture to crockpot and stir in milk and butter. Increase
heat to HIGH and cook for one more hour.

Recipes - Grilled Potato Salad

White balsamic vinegar jazzes up potato salad

The Canadian Press

Published: Wednesday, June 21, 2006

Celebrate Canada Day with this Mediterranean-influenced summer favourite in which crisp grilled golden potatoes, red peppers and chopped sun-dried tomatoes absorb the sweet flavour of white balsamic vinegar.

To celebrate the occasion, use a maple leaf cutter and cut out leaves from the red peppers.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

6 Yukon gold potatoes
2 Red peppers, quartered
2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil 30 mL
2 tbsp Chopped fresh basil 30 mL
1 tbsp Chopped fresh rosemary 15 mL
1/4 tsp Each salt and pepper 1 mL
WHITE BALSAMIC DRESSING:
1/4 cup Extra-virgin olive oil 50 mL
2 tbsp White balsamic vinegar 30 mL
2 tbsp Chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained 30 mL
1 Clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup Halved pitted kalamata olives 75 mL
2 tbsp Chopped fresh basil 30 mL
15 mL Capers 1 tbsp

Cut each potato into 8 wedges. Place in a large bowl with red peppers. Add oil, basil, rosemary, salt and pepper and toss to coat well.

Place potato wedges and peppers on greased grill over medium-high heat and grill for about 20 minutes, turning once, or until golden and tender. Thinly slice red peppers and return to bowl with grilled potato wedges.

White Balsamic Dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together oil, vinegar, tomatoes and garlic. Pour over grilled potatoes and peppers. Add olives, basil and capers. Toss gently to combine. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature and toss well before serving.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

TIP: You can substitute 1 jar (340 mL) roasted red peppers, drained and sliced, for the 2 red peppers.
