Beef Stew in the Instant Pot ( or use a saucepan ….the taste of this stew is sooo good)

Beef Stew in the Instant Pot is great. Of course you can make this in a to on the stove or even in the oven if you do not have an Instant Pot. The recipe is delicious! I find that sometimes the beef chunks in beef stew are hard & too chewy…but not when the…

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!!!
