I did something like that ages ago, only it was a cheese that didn’t quite melt right. Some do, some don’t. (Think münster, mozzarella, etc.)
Don’t recall eating it, so probably tossed it.
Had “golden” mini-potatoes, quite the departure from the usual big ones I get. Those big ones… always gotta peel ’em and mince ’em into small pieces, ’cause lots have “bruises” under the skin, cuts from whatever dug ’em up, etc., and even if cut open, often have brown spots and other nasties inside, or are just bad. Wouldn’t dare make baked potatoes with ’em.
These, though, were actually quite good, about golfball-sized, just halved them along the long axis to check the insides, then brushed ’em on top with oil, salted ’em, and baked ’em a half-hour or so. Would’ve been great as-is, but glopped some sour-cream on the plate.
I like boiling chunks of potatos for a minute or two and then sauteing them with butter and lots of grated Parmesan cheese and garlic until they’re brown and a little crunchy. I have to be fast to get mine before my daughter scarfs the whole lot.
@LB, as always, cheese e.g. parm, is optional in recipes. Those baby taters cut in half and tossed in a pan with onion, garlic, peppers, etc whatever you like—it is habit forming. i’ve never added cheese but i love to put a char on the vegies and taters, yum.
Yeh, I’d dice up ’taters and cut up onions, sometimes peppers, garlic, whatever I had, and that’d be my meal in itself, not even any meat.
They’re goooooooooood eatin’.
If I remember when I have cheddar, I’d fry up some taters and then sprinkle that cheese on ’em to let it all melt. Wish I could find my V-Slicer and slice up the ’taters to make a sort of cheese-fries kind of thing.
Yesterday was canned chili with a minced jalapeno and half a onion, piled high with sriracha and sour-cream.
That “garlic chopper” I got with a vipon is so kewl, and actually ran out of juice after I did the pepper and half a onion, so had to recharge it. Screw it, made the chili without the second half, and it was still sooooooooo gooooooooood.
After it recharged, I minced the second-half of the onion, plopped it onto a sheet of plastic-wrap and bundled it, and stuck it in the fridge.
Today, just made scrambled eggs with the fried onion-gravel, and that was goooooood, too.
Sometimes I just snack on radishes. They’re crisp, bitter, and refreshing. Really good for you too. Bought with the stalks is always best, tastes the freshest. Some of the precut ones in bags can taste a bit flat, but occasionally the grocery store gets a batch that tastes near fresh.
Got this seriously cheap mini mandolin ($2) that can slice ’em up easily to throw on a salad.
