Most of the above cooked in goose fat. Well maybe not most of the above, but certainly sauteed or roast potatoes in goose fat.

Marcella Hazan's Patate Maritate, potatoes married to mozzarella, (with some parsley, a little garlic & Parmigiano in there) from Marcella's Italian Kitchen, I think. SO good.

Those are fantastic.

If the kids like fish, how about twice baked potatoes stuffed with dill, flaked salmon, and a little sour cream?

[curlywurlyfi]

loving the idea of an all-potato based meal!

this might be a little advanced but if you're trying to get him into new flavours, try cubes of waxy potatoes tossed with coarsely chopped fennel, some crushed fennel seeds, some crushed garlic, a bit of saffron, about half a pint of stock, a couple of tbsps evoo and a little bit of red wine vinegar. Bake in a shallow dish for about 40 minutes (depending on temperature, etc), turn the potatoes over regularly, they go crispy and squashy at the same time.

Indian sautée of potatoes, cauliflower, onions, and spices.

Also Indian, samosas.

[Basilgirl]

Hasselback.

And my favorite from when I was a kid: thinly sliced, concentric circles on a pizza pan, sprinkled with oregano, S&P, a STICK of butter, 1/4" water. Bake until crispy. Mmmm.

A potato galette. (I'm surprised no one's suggested it yet.)

Or do the Joel Robuchon thing. (maybe not. heheh. your Varmint might develop a truffle fetish.) You know, the salad of thinly sliced blanched potatoes with thinly sliced black truffles overlaid on top of each other and topped with a viniagrette sprinkled with bits of minced black truffle and chives.

General Tso's potatoes?

are you from upstate new york originally by any chance?

and what about warm german potato salad, with yummy bits of pork in it, among other things?

[Betts]

Whatv about potato desserts.? My family makes a carrot/ potato pudding for Christmas - a Scottish thing most likely. Spicy and steamed - you know the Scots too poor, too frugal to do plum pudding.

Dean,

They might not be made from the definitive latke recipe, but my secular latkes, especially the TexMex version, are popular with our boys. As an added bonus, they're served with ketchup!

Jim, those sound fabulous. I'll have to remember them when Chanuka arrives.

We are just finishing an eGCI unit on Spuds, with over 120 recipes and variations. Scheduled sometime in November.

I'm finding it particularly tough to do as I am trying to follow and Atkins diet, and so can't eat any..

Latkes?

Rosti?

Colcanon?

Bubble and Squeak?

Duchesse?

Pommes de Terre a la Roxelane (potato souffle in a baked potato shell)

Um jackal? If you've got 120 recipes, can you start sending them to me to enter into the archive? Otherwise, I'll be here till Christmas entering them, once the course comes out

Priscilla: Elaborate, please

I cursorily searched for an online source of this recipe so as to provide a link to no avail. It is indeed from Marcella's Italian Kitchen, however, and is prefaced by a typically charming story of how she Marcella came by the recipe.

Patate Maritate is a gratin of thinly-sliced potatoes layered with grated whole-milk mozzarella, and a mixture of grated Parmigiano, minced parsley and garlic. S & p, of course ... drizzled with olive oil overall ... the dish olive-oiled and sprinkled with toasted fine breadcrumbs before building the layers ... I could be forgetting something.

People'll pretty much faint right at the table. Became an instant staple upon first preparation, whenever that was, like 15 years ago. Also a beautiful main dish for serving to pesky vegetarians, a dish one can serve to vegetarians and maintain one's self-respect.

(I firmly believe that for vegetable cookery, which can incidentally sometimes be vegetarian cookery, one could hardly do better than study the Italians, Marcella in particular ... it's all there, everything one needs for perfection in vegetable cookery. Plus a lot a lot a lot of other incredibly wonderful important stuff, too, of course. Some might offer, in trying to save a mixed marriage, the first Moosewood and Enchanted Broccoli Forest, and they probably have done some good in this regard, but they ain't a patch on Marcella.)

Still in NY, but that German Potato salad while sounding worthy, I have never tasted.

Anything with pork is good.

A meal isn't a feast unless it has at least three types of potato dish. A good resource for potato recipes is:

Do you bake it or are the potatoes already cooked (steamed or boiled)?

Does the olive oil come before or after baking or both?

This sounds amazing.

[hjshorter]

I have a 15 year old photocopy from a friend, with "My favorite potatoes!" written on it.

The potatoes are not precooked, just thinly sliced and tossed with EVOO before layering with the parsley, garlic and whole milk mozzerella. Topped with breadcrumbs and a drizzle of more olive oil, then baked.

People'll pretty much faint right at the table.

This has been my experience too.

[hannahcooks]

Ooh. Marcella's stovetop roasted potatoes are currently my favorite potatoes ever, but those sound delicious, as well.

[jwagnerdsm]

I need that potato souffle recipe. It looks incredible.

[Jinmyo]

I need that potato souffle recipe. It looks incredible.

Do you mean pomme souffle?

Really easy. Do the potatoes on a mandoline, very thin.

Fry at 300 F. Separate them, let cool.

Fry at 375 F.

Much fleur de sel or other crunchy salt.
