Potato Chips

You can have potato chips in different ways. They can be sliced up and sprinkled with salt, chopped up and tossed in chili, roasted and added to dips, or cooked and mashed. They can be crispy, tender, or even crispy and tender. The key to potato chips is that they have to be cooked. This cooks off moisture and gives them their crunch. Once they’re cooked, you can add any kind of seasoning.

Cured Garlic Roasted Potato

This year Ive started making potatoes again. Ive grown a few different varieties in the past, but I am currently growing yellow potatoes (if you arent familiar with the yellow potatoes or french potatoes, google it). Ive made a few different types of potatoes and this one is by far the best. I use a combination of the extra virgin olive oil and unsalted butter to make this. I added some diced bacon as well. Some of you may not like the bacon flavor, but I love it.

Potato Drop Biscuit

The potato drop biscuit recipe is similar to drop biscuits. It is a simple way to have a biscuit or even a loaf of bread at a moment’s notice. It is important to let the dough rest for a bit. This helps the gluten to relax and strengthens the structure. The other thing to remember is that the gluten will expand during baking. This is why the dough will need to be rolled out a bit before the biscuit can be cut. After baking, the biscuit will be thin and crackly on the surface. You can bake the biscuits up to a day in advance, but will notice them drying out more after that.

The Best Potatoes for Baking

When preparing potatoes for baking, use a variety of types, sizes, and cooking methods to ensure a good result. With some types of potatoes, you may need to precook them first. You can precook your potatoes by peeling, boiling, or baking them. The choice of potato type and cooking method varies depending on the desired outcome. Potatoes that are raw can be peeled and then boiled or baked. Smaller, thin-skinned potatoes are better suited to baking than larger, starchy potatoes. Boiling thin-skinned potatoes can result in the exterior becoming chalky and dry. When baking them, keep a close eye on them to ensure that they aren’t overcooked. You should also be careful not to over-bake potatoes as they can become hard and crumbly. Generally, potatoes are done when they are just fork tender and have a light golden color.
