Chicken Pot Pie Topped with Garlic and Herb Potato Mash

January 22, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Thank you Potatoes USA for sponsoring this post. Make a delicious and convenient meal for your family tonight with potatoes!

Rich and creamy Chicken Pot Pie Topped with Garlic and Herb Potato Mash is the perfect nourishing meal on a chilly day.

In college I used to stock up on premade chicken soup products. I would buy all kinds of flavors: chowder-style, with dumplings, chicken noodle, pot pie, etc. At that time I knew how to cook about five things, mostly just variations of eggs and pasta. (And throwing together a sandwich definitely doesn’t count as cooking!)…

Crispy Indian Potato Cakes (Aloo Tikki)

January 20, 2017 by Faith 24 Comments

The flavor of these Mustard or Garlic-Spiked Crispy Potato Cakes will transport you straight to India for street food! I am a ridiculously big fan of street food. When I travel, one of my favorite ways to experience a new place is to spend an afternoon wandering around with no real destination to speak of, enjoying the local fare from street vendors. Not only does it provide an authentic sampling of local eats, but it’s also a much more affordable option!...

March 9, 2016 by Faith 13 Comments

Dublin Coddle with Carrots and Greens is a lovely rustic stew that’s perfect for warming up with on a chilly evening. There are just some things in life that happen in their own time. Everything that grows, whether it’s a plant, animal, or person, has a season. Some things just can’t be rushed....

October 23, 2015 by Faith 18 Comments

This Loaded Cheesy Potato Casserole features cheddar cheese, turkey bacon, and green onions…it’s pure comfort food! For dinner, pair it with any protein you like or just a big green salad. Thanks to the kind folks at the Idaho Potato Commission, I recently had the opportunity to head out to Idaho for a little hands-on potato action....

Baby Hasselback Potatoes

February 2, 2012 by Faith 41 Comments

One of the things I love most about food blogging is checking out my fellow bloggers’ sites…I am inspired to no end by you guys! When I first started blogging (which feels like forever ago) I came across a recipe for hasselback potatoes on Sea Salt with Food. I thought they looked pretty fantastic and jotted the site down on a piece of scrap paper…and thus began my “to-make” list, which is now 12 typed pages long and ever-increasing....

Colcannon Recipe (Irish Mashed Potatoes with Cabbage)

October 31, 2011 by Faith 34 Comments

This hearty Colcannon recipe for Irish Mashed Potatoes with Cabbage combines rich, buttery mashed potatoes and cabbage sautéed with onion for a side dish that’s satisfying, nutritious, and delicious. Halloween isn’t my favorite holiday. I kind-of see it as a non-holiday holiday that must be endured before the real holiday season can be ushered in (and for this I apologize to my darling Halloween-loving readers!)....

Lightened Up Twice Baked Potatoes

September 28, 2011 by Faith 32 Comments

Even though they’re a fairly ordinary vegetable, potatoes have pretty rich tastes: they adore things like butter and look fantastic adorned in cream. The good thing about potatoes is that they taste just as amazing when flavored with healthier things like onion, garlic, and olive oil....

Scalloped Potatoes

April 15, 2011 by Faith 28 Comments

Thick-cut potato slices are baked in whole milk with a bit of butter, onion, and garlic to create a rustic side dish that pairs well with just about anything. I like to think of scalloped potatoes as the poor cousin of potatoes gratin and potatoes dauphinoise. For this dish, potato is sliced much thicker, and unlike gratin (which usually has cheese) and dauphinoise (which usually has cream), scalloped potatoes are thickened with flour and milk and just a wee bit of butter. As a result, the dish is a bit more rustic and humble, but also a bit easier on the waistline (and of course every bit as delicious)....

Autumn Potato-Pumpkin Gratin

November 19, 2009 by Faith 21 Comments

For quite a while now I’ve been trying to think about the perfect Thanksgiving dinner side dish. Of course, turkey is the star of the show, but the deliciousness of turkey always delivers. Unfortunately, however, all side dishes are not created equal. There are the usual standbys, like stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and the ever-present holiday green bean casserole. But year after year, I get a little tired of the same old side dishes. Then I remembered a potato gratin that Rachael Ray had made on one of her special Thanksgiving shows…she called it Autumn Potato Gratin and it sounded perfect. I changed […]...

Caramelized Onion and Potato Latkes with Herb Yogurt

June 18, 2009 by Faith 3 Comments

My grandmother made latkes (or potato pancakes, as my mother calls them) all the time while my mom was growing up. My mother has a serious dislike for latkes so she never made them (not even once!) when I was a kid. I tasted my first latke at a friend’s house and it was love at first bite. To reduce the fat, I baked these latkes in the oven instead of frying them. The latkes in this recipe have a slightly sweet taste because of the caramelized onion, which balances perfectly with the tangy yogurt sauce. Caramelized Onion and Potato Latkes with […]...
