What can I say! I have Irish ancestry, and adore potatoes withpassion! This is one of my favourite recipes.
Mazzy's Hot Smoked Potato Salad - 6 to 8 Red King potatoes. Quarter them with the skin on, salt the water and boil them until cooked. Drain, then toss with a little olive oil. Finely chop a red onion and stir through. Either make up your own mayonnaise, or cut corners with a jar of Eta Potato Salad and stir this through as well. I chop up a couple of spring onions as a garnish and add plenty of parsley. This is also good cold served with oven-baked chicken drumsticks, and will be dinner tonight for us, with some mesclun salad. Yum! (And it's also perfect served cold in the summer.)

If you like French fries, but don't like them drenched in fat or oil, just cut potatoes into shoe-strings, spread on an oven tray and spray lightly with cooking oil.Grill till brown and crisp and sprinkle with garlic salt.Turn once if you wish, but they are so thin they cook quickly.
A quick snack :)

HALF-BAKED POTATOES
Scrub the potatoes (as you would for baking them), then cut each unpeeled potato in half and brush the cut surface with oil or melted butter. Place the potatoes, cut-surface-down on a baking tray. Bake at 180ºC-200ºC for about 35-45 minutes (depends on the shape and size of the potatoes), until the potatoes give slightly when pressed. The skin-side will be baked, the cut-side will be roasted. :-))

Hash Browned Potato In a pot of salted water place two very large un-skinned potatoes (or 4 medium ones). Bring the water to boil and simmer for 5 minutes then turn the stove off and cover the pot with a lid. Let it sit for 15 minutes then take the potatoes out and put them in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, peel the skin of the potatoes using your hands (it should be easy to peel). Then with a grater, grate the potato into a bowl.
Season the grated potato with salt and pepper then fry in hot butter or oil.

A pinch of cream of tartar into your mashed potatoes makes them light and fluffy.

Hot potato salad! 500gs potatos French Onion soup mix 250mls cream
Peel or leave skins on, cube into similar sized cubes, cook in microwave on high in dish wrapped in plastic wrap, cut a few air holes. Cook until tender, in oven 180o mix cream and mix in french onion soup mix. Let this come to the boil (gets thick) and has a crust on it. Mix in potatos and heat. This is an easy dish to do at the last minute up to the cream going in the oven, will take about 20mins. It is delicious, naughty and everyone loves it, a Xmas favourite.

Here's one of our favs, Peel and chop as many spuds as desired into roughly one inch cubes, par cook in microwave for 6-7 mins with no water, then add 3-4 cloves of crushed garlic (more if you adore garlic!), then add 2 teaspoons tabasco sauce and enough olive oil to coat spuds. Place on a oiled baking tray or roasting dish and cook at 200 C untill crispy and golden, usually around 30 mins. Great with anything!

Sounds exciting. Do you mix the garlic, tabasco & oil & then coat spuds. The tabasco would give it some zing I'm picking. Green or red!
