Simple Roast Chicken

I  just think that sometimes a Simple Roast Chicken is one of the most delicious ways to eat chicken! This is a one pan dinner! The chicken is roasted with potatoes & vegetables! The smell of the roasting chicken fills the house up and whenever I make this, my family walks in and always comments…

And here is my favourite recipe for Pureed Potato Latkes

Ingredients

4 potates, peeled & cut into chunks

1 onion, peeled 7 cut in chunks

2 eggs

1/3 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

pepper

oil for frying

Method.. this is made in a food processor

  1. Put the potaotes & onion in the bowl of the food processor. Puree..until there are no chunks left
  2. Add the eggs & mix a few seconds until the eggs are mixed in with the potaotes & onion
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, salt & pepper to the bowl & process until it is well blended
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan
  5. Using a spoon, gently put the potato mixture into the hot oil. *** As this mixture sits, it gets watery, so I switch to a slotted spoon so that the latkes are not full of the water..or add a bit of flour & mix it in well…
  6. Fry on one side until golden brown, then carefully turn over & continue frying until that side is brown. ***I use a spatual & a knife to turn my latkes…so lift the latke with the spatula & use the knife to help turn it over gently… the oil will splatter if you turn them over too fast… so be careful…if you want to see how the spatula/knife work let me know & maybe I can add a little video….
  7. Put on paper towel to drain the oil off

Enjoy!!!

Wine-Braised Brisket

My wonderful daughter-in-law bought me this fabulous cookbook, THE GEFILTE MANEFESTO by JEFFREY YOSKOWITZ & LIZ ALPERN. I plan on trying to make as much of these recipes as I can. They all look very interesting and delicious. The first one I have tried is the WINE-BRAISED BRISKET WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH. It uses a whole bottle of white wine which adds a lovely flavour. There is a lot of liquid in this recipe & the brisket is submerged in it the entire cooking time. This leads to kind of a ‘boiled’ soft brisket which we quite enjoyed. I had frozen butternut so I used that instead of a fresh one, also chicken broth instead of beef. We found the brisket had a subtle flavor, so different from the usual brisket recipes that I make.  I was looking for a link to the recipe and found one on Epicurious.com so I will include the link & also a link to THE GEFILTE MANEFESTO on Amazon. I hope you give this recipe a try!

Here is the link to the recipe on Epicurious.com
