Blue Cheese Mandolined Potatoes Side Dish

[Ira]

Okay--I'm showing my feminine side by posting my first recipe here. (I gotta do 7 ads at the office now, and I don't want to do them.)

So here's a recipe I've done a million times and never screwed up once. Real simple, and I would think this would be great in a DO. You should be a blue cheese fan though, but blue cheese taste doesn't dominate the final dish.

1) Peel and mandolin a "bunch" of potatoes. You don't have to use a fancy mandolin slicer or anything; you can just cut the round slices as thin as your arthritic hands will allow. Heck, you don't gotta cut 'em THAT thin.

2) In a mixing bowl, crack a "couple of" eggs. Add a pint of heavy cream (whipping cream is okay), salt, pepper and oregano, and whisk well.

3) Layer the potatoes flat in a pyrex, aluminum pan, or in that nutty DO that you guys are always getting excited about.

4) Pour that liquid goop over the potatoes. Make sure you have enough goop to cover them well and that it really gets in there. (In other words, more is better than less here.)

5) Take two containers of crumbled blue cheese and spread on top.

6) Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to an hour, or until the top gets golden brown. (This is one dish that you'll KNOW when it's done.)

That's it. The quantities referred to as "bunch of" and "couple of"
are totally up to you, because this ain't rocket science.

Ira in crabby drawers, and now in panty hose,,, what is the world coming to,,, Sounds like someone has been sniffing a little too much Gorilla glue, but alas, this open forum thing might have gotten a little carried away,,

Recipe sounds good though, but while we are adding to it how bout a handful of mushrooms,

NO PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ira, I used this recipe dutch oven style at the IRG. It was a big hit. The only thing I did different was add bacon and jalenpenos.

They were great! Too rich for me to eat very many of them though.

Nice meeting you at the IRG!

Caught with a mouth full of Ira's Blue Cheese Mandolined Potatoes. Went back for seconds, but none was to be had. They were that good.


Have a good day.

Wonder what it would taste like will a little crab meat?

How do you mandolin a potato? That's a term I haven't heard before.....

[pgwilli]

Its a kitchen tool....

Very handy when you need to prep a lot of food and consistentcy is important (mine doesn't cost nearly as much as the ones on this web site).
You can do just as well with a comfortable knife, but probably not as fast.
