I am creating this thread so that Illyrians will have a place for potato-based chat. All discussion of potatoes is welcome here.

Well, I guess that tidies up all the forums ;o)

p.s. strictly speaking, I just made a point of order there, rather than a potato-based comment. There, that did it.

This thread is silly. It should be Mashed.

I'd like to hear some good gnocci recipes.

Currently I'm using russets, baking then pushing through a ricer, 1 egg and ~1 cup flour per 3 cups potatoes. The flour is highly subjective.

I think my flour and potatoes hurl insults in the night.

Why did the potatoe cross the road?

Because he saw a fork up ahead Smile

Fried (of course) with ketchup and Louisiana style hot sauce (and sometimes gravy-mmmm gravy).

Potatoes Au Gratin with Fennel and Scritcher

Ingredients

1 pound sliced scritcher loin
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups whole milk, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 pounds Azura Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and diced
7 leaves fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry scritcher in a large skillet until browned. Drain on paper towels. Chop or crumble, and set aside.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth and starting to bubble. Gradually whisk in milk while stirring constantly so that no lumps form. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with white pepper, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until smooth, adding a handful at a time. Set aside.
Use 1/3 of the potatoes to make a layer in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with 1/3 of the fennel, 1/3 of the scritcher and 1/3 of the basil. Pour about 1/3 of the cheese sauce over everything. Repeat layers two more times or until you run out of room. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the cover during the last 30 minutes to allow the top to brown if desired.
