Cheesy Potatoes
8-10 Red Potatoes, cubed or shredded (you can use a bag of frozen potatoes 32oz, thawed)
         soak the potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes, drain
1/2 C Butter
1 1/2 C Sour Cream
1/2 C Half and Half
3 C Cheese, I used a blend of Cheddar, Gouda and Fontina (you could also use Edam)
1/2 C Onion chopped finely
Pinch of nutmeg
1/2 tsp celery salt

1 C Gluten free Panko Crumbs or Corn Flakes

In a saucepan saute onion in a smidgen of oil until softened, add butter, sour cream, 2 Cups of the cheese blend and combine well. 
Season with salt and pepper a pinch of nutmeg and celery salt. Add potatoes and half and half and mix until the potatoes are coated and moist, but not too wet. 
Grease a baking dish and pour potato mixture in the dish covered with foil and bake at 350o for about 30 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, add the remaining panko/cornflake crumbs mixed with the remaining cheese and brown the top. Let potatoes sit for about 15 minutes before serving.

Kale and Roasted Potato Salad


Recipe Courtesy of A House In The Hills
6 cups cubed red potatoes (about 1″ cubes)
3 cloves crushed garlic
1 very large bunch of dinosaur kale
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons grape seed oil
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 tablespoons white wine vinegar, to taste
sea salt
black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine potatoes, grape seed oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a large mixing bowl until potatoes are voated and seasoned.
Spread potatoes on baking sheet and cook for 45-60 minutes, turning once or twice to brown evenly.  Potatoes are done when browned and crispy.
While potatoes are roasting combine whole grain mustard, extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar in a small bowl.  Taste and add additional vinegar if desired.  Set aside.
Caramelize shallots by cooking with 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for 15-20 minutes or until they’re browned.
Prep kale by thoroughly rinsing, chopping off the rough part of the stems and discarding.  Slice the dino kale into 1-2″ strips.
When potatoes are nearly done roasting add garlic and kale to the onions and sauté over medium-low heat. Cook until the kale is thoroughly wilted, stirring often.
Combine kale and potatoes in a large serving bowl.  Toss in vinaigrette (this recipe make more than enough vinaigrette , so dress the salad to your taste).  Add additional sea salt to preference.

 
ColCannon
6 large russet potatoes, cut into cubes (peeled or not)
4 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 onion, chopped coarsely
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped into about 2″ x 1/2″ strips
1/2 cup milk of your choice (soy or cow’s milk, I used soy)
1/3 cup butter or margarine
Salt and pepper
Heat a large pot of boiling water and set potato cubes to boil for 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. While potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add in onions and cook for a minute, then add in garlic. Cook until onion are soft, about 4 minutes. Add in cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes, or until wilted and soft.
Once the potatoes are soft, mash them up with milk and butter until they are fairly smooth. Add in cabbage mixture and smash a bit more – you don’t want to mash the cabbage completely, but you do want it slightly macerated. Season with salt and pepper.
