Hasselback Potatoes

4 potatoes
4 garlic cloves, sliced into very thin slivers
olive oil
coarse salt
black pepper

Clean the potatoes with skins on. Cut slits on top of each potato approximately 1/8 inch apart.
(Be careful not to go all the way through! Place chop sticks or wooden spoons along each side to help prevent cutting all the way through the potato. I make about 25-30 slits in each potato.)
Place potatoes on baking sheet. Place a garlic sliver in between every other slit. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake uncovered at 450 for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Potatoes will gently arch as the slits slightly fan out. Outside will be crispy, inside soft and delicious.

Potato soup, or any good veggie soup can benefit from potatoes.

Kugels, potatoes and eggs, layer potatoes onions and ground beef in a sauce. Bake.
Roasted with other veggies...chunk them, not cubed, fourths maybe and then onions and carrots....
Potato pie.
Make a chicken pot pie.

We love potatoes here.

I've definitely made pie of chicken, potatoes, onions and carrots. I don't know if it would be called Shepards pie, but who cares? Just cut up the cutlets into small pieces.

Shred potatoes, onion and mix with eggs and the spices you like. Fry and you have an excellent dish for hungry kids!

I haven't tried freezing them.

I believe OOTBubby makes a similar recipe with the batter flattened out in a pan, egged and baked, and she said that it freezes very well.

Cheesy Stuffed Potatoes
• 3 large potatoes, scrubbed and dried
• cheese
• sauteed or steamed vegetables

Pierce each potato a few times with the tines of a fork.
Wrap each in foil and bake in oven preheated to 400 for about 1 hour.
Cut each potato almost in half. (Do not cut all the way to the bottom of the potato.) Stuff with cheese and a bit of vegetables of your choice. Close potato back up, watch the cheese melt, and serve.

(or else you can make the following stuffing, from KBD kids:
Chop up 1 cup broccoli florets. Cook in small pot with water to cover. Bring to boil and cook 5-6 minutes. Drain. Return broccoli to pot. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
Dissolve 2 tsp flour in 2 tsp milk. Add mixture to pot of broccoli and cheese. Add 1/2 tsp salt. Heat over medium, stirring until melted.)

Hashbrowns
• 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice
• salt
• oil for sauteeing
• 1 large onion, chopped
• paprika, salt and pepper to taste

Place the potatoes into a medium pot and cover with cold water. Season with some salt and cook over high heat. Bring up to a bubble, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until al dente (they should be tender enough to pierce easily with a knife but not quite mashable), about 8 minutes.
When the potatoes are ready, drain them and shock them under cold water briefly. Scatter them out onto a kitchen or paper towel and blot off any excess water.
Heat oil over medium-high heat and sauté onions. Add the drained and dried potatoes to the skillet, sprinkle generously with paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
