Just like the rice thread I started, let's list our favorite potato recipes/meal ideas. They are cheap comfort food and you can even grow them at home if you have the right climate. Include sweet poatoes/yams too!
I'll list the most common ones I make fisrt...
1. Baked potatoes (in the oven, microwave OR slow cooker)
2. Baked sweet potatoes (I love to make these in the slow cooker)
3. Hash browns
4. Oven roasted red potatoes with rosemary, garlic and olive oil
5. On top of Shepherds pie/Cottage pie
6. Mashed potatoes--homemade are best but Betty Crocker Potato Buds will do in a pinch
7. sweet potato fries
8. In a slow cooker with a roast, onions and carrots
What else?
Anyone make Potato pancakes or potato bread? I would love either of these recipes if someone has a good gluten free one. My grandfather used to make potato pancakes when I was a child and my husband love potato bread. I have not tried either since going gluten free.

A simple meal with love is better than a feast where there is hatred. Proverbs 15:17 (CEV)
2/2010 Malabsorption becomes dramatically noticable 3/2010 Negative IgA EMA; negative IgA TTG 4/2010 Negative biopsy 5/2010 Elimination diet; symptoms begin to resolve on gluten-free diet round two (10 days) 5/2010 Diagnosed gluten sensitive based on weakly positive repeat IgA & IgG TTGs and dietary response; decline capsule endoscopy.
Now, what to do about my cookbook in progress? Make it gluten-free?
4 potatoes
3 eggs, lightly stirred
2 T flour (I used potato starch the last few times)
1 T matzo meal (Again, sub'ed in potato starch but other things might work better like cracker crumbs)
1/4 tsp salt (original recipe calls for 1/2 t but I find that too salty)
1/4 tsp pepper
Scrub and grate potatoes. Toss with all remaining ingredients, except the eggs. Add the eggs. Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of oil in a large sautee pan. When it is hot (but not smoking!), add spoonfuls of the potato mixture to form patties. Flip when browned, and cook through. Drain on paper towels. Stir the potatoes between batches. Enjoy with applesauce (okay, sour cream if you must).
Optional: add a few tablespooons diced smoked salmon.

Thanks! I was wondering what to use instead of matzo.

This is my granddaughter's favorite soup. I buy the Bear Creek Soup at Wal-Mart for $3.42 a pkg. There are several Bear Creek Soups that are gluten-free (obviously not all) http://sbamerica.com...roduct_line.htm

Sylvia Positive Celiac Blood Panel - Dec., 2009 Endoscopy with Positive Biopsy - April 9, 2010 Gluten Free - April 9, 2010
thick sliced taters (waxy kind) under pieces of chicken. Bake until chicken is done (leaving the skin on). Potatoes will be cooked and soaked in chicken fat (and whatever you flavored the chicken with). Remove chicken and put pan under broiler for a few minutes to brown the potatoes. Remove with slotted spoon or spatula so you are leaving behind most of the fat.

I used Yukon Gold potatoes for it. Have also made something similar with a recipe that a friend gave me. The onions are not cooked first and it uses vegetable broth. Both are very good.
Vegan stuffed potatoes. I start with big baking potatoes. For each two that I bake, I make another one. We like them overstuffed! Plus I usually break one. Bake however you want and let cool enough to handle. Cut off the tops and scoop out enough potato so that you have a 1/8 inch shell. Mash the potatoes with plenty of rice or soy milk. You want a fairly soft mixture. Add lots of nutritional yeast to give it a cheese taste. Also some sliced scallions or chives and salt and pepper to taste. Stuff back in the shells and bake until heated through. Add more sliced scallions or chives on top just before serving.
Pan fried potatoes.
Potatoes, bacon, onion and peppers, pan fried.
Tater Tot Casserole.
Instant mashed potatoes mixed with onion, bacon and cheese.

Potato gnochi? Do yo have a recipe? My old one had some flour in it.

For my potato gnocchi I use use a gluten-free AP flour blend that I've made up to have on hand. Ricotta gnocchi is also very good and some recipes don't require any flour!
I LOVE gnocchi too much to not convert it to gluten-free!
