Now you know you have to share the Italian recipe right, @Friday? Creamy? Do tell. I make a similar recipe, but it's not creamy?... Just had some milk and chocolate chip cookies. ?

...

Super easy, just time consuming!

Oven at 400F / 200C

Short version? Slice, coat, stack, bake.

- Super thin sliced Yukon Gold potatoes (any kind work, but golds are the creamiest inside / crispiest outside)
- LOTS of Olive Oil
- Garlic / Shallots
- Minced very fine fresh herbs (rosemary, fines herbs, Italian pasta herbs, literally any single or combo of herbs is lovely and works a treat. Even did South African smoked herbs once, and it was killer)
- Coarse Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper
- (Optional) a little dusting of white pepper.

Longer version.

Spoiler: Longer version :P

I’m not putting measurements because it’s basically however many potatoes you want to slice/how big a dish are you using? and then by taste. If you love garlic? Kill a vampire. Want these suckers green with fresh herbs? Outstanding. Go for it. There’s no way to screw it up. Seems bland after cooking? Voila! Throw some more fresh herbs/salt/garlic on. I love potatoes. They’re not just forgiving, they’re like priests in confessional.

- I dump everything into a big ziplock bag and then shake it to coat everything in whatever way will embarrass my son the most. He loves that.

- Messy hands! = Creamiest = Stack these guys on their sides, making a spiral around the dish, all Rattatoile-Style.

- f*ck that = Still damn good = Just pinch the bag mostly shut, drain the excess oil into a dish to fry hasbrowns in tomorrow for breakfast, and dump the everything else into your baking dish, and shake the dish until the pile is mostly even.

Bake for 1-2 hours.

Really.

Damn things take until midnight on judgment day to finish.

When I have a big family thing coming up, I cook these guys off in the morning until they’re almooooooost done (fork super tender, but not crispy), throw in a fridge, and then nip it in the oven to warm whilst whatever else is cooking, then crisp up under the broiler/grill. <<< That’s also a nice trick when BBQ’ing. Ah potatoes. So boil me, burn me, smoke me, sear me; I got this!

Something magical about toast & coffee :inlove:

Also? Fish tacos. Definitely something magical about fish tacos. :D
Beer battered cod, crisp sweet & spicy cabbage, creamy avocado sauce, fresh coriander, grilled white corn tortillas, salsas. Heaven.

Sparkling water

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

H20, lemonade, more H20, cantaloupe, leftover spaghetti casserole, and finally made potato leek soup and served it with grilled cheese (of the vegan variety) sandwiches. Just finished a small Asian tea cup full of non-dairy chocolate chunks and grabbed more H20.

 

[Justmehere]

Chex with peaches and bananas - the food to feed my exhausted body.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

A couple quarts of H20 then some fresh picked apples/beets/beet greens/dandelion greens/wild plantain, and some ginger root made into a delicious and absolutely beautiful juice. Cheers!

Leftover domino's pizza, onions, black olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, with strange doughy things covered in parmesan with beer and vodka,.

Dessert, double. :) So you had it right Berlinda.

Water with water and somewhere along the ride baguettes filled with schtuff.
