Oven-baked Rosamunda potatoes

The original recipe is from the blog lautasellinen rakkautta.fi. On that site the author mentions that her family values, loves and treats potatoes with great passion and that on their table potatoes could be served even every single day.

I absolutely do agree: one never gets bored with potatoes and they indeed can be made in so many different ways. For example oven-baked potatoes, cooked potatoes, potato wedges, garlic potatoes, röstis, mashed potatoes, casseroles and French fries. Each of them can be varied with herbs, spices or other ingredients. Continue reading “Oven-baked Rosamunda potatoes” →

Flattened oven potatoes

At some point in this summer, Instagram came up with instructions for making flattened potatoes like those in the image. The idea stuck in my head, but after a while I unfortunately wasn’t quite sure how to make them anymore. Even worse is that I can’t remember the writer of the original recipe (which I greatly apologize for: would have been polite to mention it – so if anyone knows where the recipe might originally come from, please let me know!).

Lamb shank, creamy garlic potatoes and fresh salad

Any food made of lamb is loved in many countries, especially at Easter. I can quite well remember that in Finland there were only a few days time to get any lamb in stores before Easter. Meat was domestic, of course, and it was sold fresh, and so it is even nowadays: you can get fresh domestic lamb meat only at Easter. There is lamb meat on sale in stores all around the year, but it is usually frozen or vacuum packed and imported from New Zealand.

Rosemary potatoes

Sometime last summer I found a recipe for coriander potatoes. Cooked potatoes were rolled in yoghurt spiced with coriander. For some reason I didn’t like them at all and the potatoes were left uneaten. At first I thought that I would never try anything like this again, but nothing ventured, nothing gained as the saying goes. Continue reading “Rosemary potatoes” →

Very tasty potato salad

In Finland Frankfurters with potato salad have belonged to New Year’s celebration for quite a long time – if not as a main meal but more like a late night dish when the party continues into the small hours of the night. Formerly Frankfurters used to be a special and expensive delicacy of the upper class people and it mostly belonged to two  festive occasions: New Year and the 1st of May.

Oven baked salmon with garlic potato cakes

There is nothing very special to say about this fish, except that in all its simplicity it’s really tasty. This salmon is just an ordinary oven baked salmon, which is why it has been seasoned with sea salt and with plenty of black, green and rose peppers.

Baked garlic potato wedges

Very easy and quick way to make tasty potatoes to be served with meat, fish or poultry. You can make these potato wedges with or without garlic – if the dish otherwise contains very strong flavors or plenty of garlic, it’s better to only season the potatoes with salt. A matter of taste as always, as is adding any kind of herbs. Continue reading “Baked garlic potato wedges” →
