Heat a pan of oil until it sizzles when you flick water into it.

It should make a Shhhhhhhhhthhhhsssssssss sound if it is ready.

Submerge uncooked fries into hot oil until tender.

They will float to the top when they are done cooking, You can see it below.

Let dry on a rack or paper towels.

Potato Scones

Scones. I am eating one right now, with my pinky finger appropriately vertical.

For mashed potatoes:

Slice the potatoes into large chunks and boil in water until tender.
1/2 c milk
3 tbs butter

Mash with fork or potato masher until smooth.
This makes more then one cup.

For Scone:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1 cup mashed potatoes (prepared with milk and butter)
1/3 cup milk
1 egg

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine potatoes, milk and egg; stir into the crumb mixture until a soft dough forms.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 5-7 minutes or until no longer sticky.

Gently pat or roll dough into a 9-in. circle about 3/4 in. thick.

Cut into 10-12 wedges. I think the rougher cut the better, I like things to look and taste homemade.

Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Breakfast....Yes, please.

Serve with butter, jams or honey. 

Yum!

4 pounds sweet potatoes, quartered
1 cups margarine
1 cups brown sugar
3 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
ground cinnamon to taste
ground nutmeg to taste


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (But not now, I'll say when.)
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add quartered potatoes and boil until slightly underdone, about 15 minutes.

Drain and let cool.
Preheat oven to  400 degrees F (200 degrees C) now.

Don't fret about peeling them, After par-boiling them the skins will easily pull off. See.

If you are peeling the sweet potatoes and you happen to drop one. The 5 second rule does not apply if your cat runs over, licks the potato and proceeds to bat it around the kitchen floor.
This is a good lesson on letting things go & mopping kitchen floors.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine margarine, brown sugar, 2 cups marshmallows, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted.

Stir potatoes into marshmallow sauce.
While stirring mash about half of the potatoes, and break the others into bite-sized chunks.

Transfer to greased baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cover top evenly with remaining marshmallows.

Return to oven and bake until marshmallows are golden brown.

Yum!

Wampa Rump Roast

You will need:
1 - 3 lb Beef Chuck
Bag of Baby Carrots
2 Large Potatoes, cubed
2 C Beef Bouillon
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Doesn't that look great? I get all my meat from a local butcher shop, Strasburgh meats. I recommend them, over a grocery store or a Wal-Mart anytime.

I use bouillon cubes so I need to heat the water to dissolve them.

Put the roast in the center of the pan and pour the 2 cups of beef bouillon over it.  Cube the potatoes and place the carrots all around the beef.

Season with salt, pepper and dried onion flakes.

Bake at 350F (176 degrees C) for 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes and add water if needed to keep from scorching. Internal temperature should be 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

So good and so tender. Yum!
