‘Curry Flavoured Smoked Sausage & Potato Salad’ is one of my family’s favourite potato salads and I sometimes crave it. Today I wanted to cook it, but I didn’t have Sausages. As I had some Canned Fish, I decided to use Canned Mackerel instead of Sausages, and the result was great. It was delicious! The …
My family recently moved house. We couldn’t take everything to our new house, especially plants in the garden. My daughter was growing some Potatoes. She didn’t want to waste them. She was afraid Potatoes were not ready for harvest, but she dug up anyway, and found a lot of Baby Potatoes. I cooked them with …
Last night, my family enjoyed Fish & Chips. The fried fish and chips were light and crispy, and absolutely delicious. We ordered medium size chips, but the serve was so generous and we couldn’t finish them. Don’t throw away leftover chips! There are many ways to enjoy them on the next day. This is a …
To make batter for this type of savoury pancake, I use Plain Flour, Potato Starch and Egg, just like ‘Tempura’ batter. You can use Plain Flour only, OR you may prefer Self-Raising Flour for softer texture. Today I made a large pancake and cut into bite-size pieces. Of course you can make smaller pancakes. Enjoy …
I have been using a lot of Parsley for cooking lately. The other day I cooked Asian flavoured ‘Parsley Pancake’. Today I cooked Potato Pancakes and I added a lot of Parsley to the mixture. It was delicious. I added firmly packed 1/2 cupful Parsley, which looked too much, but surprisingly Parsley flavour was not …
This is a variation of savoury Potato pancakes called ‘Potato Oyaki’ in Japanese. I often make ‘Potato Oyaki’ with Smoked Salmon. Any other fish could be used I supposed, and I tried with Canned Mackerel today. I am so glad I did. The pancakes were yummy. Grilled fresh Mackerel would be wonderful, but it’s hard …
Thanks to Pokemon, ‘Potato Mochi’ has become better known outside Japan. My ‘Easy Potato Mochi’ is very versatile and you can add extra ingredients. Today I added Bacon and Cheese. The cake of Mashed Potato, Bacon and Cheese can’t go wrong, can it? Actually it can. You must season it carefully because Bacon is salty. …
If you are interested in cooking Chicken Gizzards (Giblets), but don’t know how to cook them, try this easy recipe. Many people suggest to remove the tough silver coloured parts from Gizzards before cooking them. I don’t want to do that with my aching hands. I pre-boil them, so that you can eat the silver …
I know Hash Browns are an unhealthy food, but they are yummy. Today I deep-fried the mixture into bite-size balls. So, these ‘Hash Brown Bites’ are absolutely unhealthy, and it is very hard to stop eating them. I can confidently say they are dangerous!!! Maybe you can try to make them for your party. I …
Bread OR Pancakes made with mashed Potato can be found in many countries. Japan’s Potato Mochi is probably one of them. This ‘Thin Potato Bread’ is inspired by Irish Potato Farls. It is made with Potato, Butter and Wheat Flour. I heard the Farls are one large round soft bread cut into four quadrants. Today …
I had a small amount of leftover Mashed Sweet Potato, that was not enough to make anything with. So, I mixed it with some Pan-Stewed Apple and enjoyed it with Yoghurt and Honey. This was inspired by a Japanese dish called ‘Kinton’, which is a very sweet dish of Mashed Japanese Sweet Potato. Chestnuts are …
‘Potato Mochi’ has become well-known thanks to Pokemon. These days there are very many variations, and you can season it as you like. Pan-frying is the most popular method, but I deep-fried it today. It’s better to form the mixture into balls when you deep-fry. You can stuff a small piece of Cheese inside each …
