Three-Cheese Mashed Potato Casserole

November 22, 2010 / Jessie / Holiday, Potatoes, Sides / 7 Comments
DSCN0921

Grab a fork and put on your fat pants. This is one of our all-time favorite holiday side dishes. It never disappoints whenever we bring it to a potluck. It’s easy to make, travels well, and reheats beautifully. It’s also unapologetically NOT low fat. (Lovers of old-school indulgent holiday dishes, unite!)

It’s easier than you might think to make potato chips at home. These particular chips are skin-on, thicker than usual, asian-spiced crunchy bliss. And? They take about 10 minutes to make.

Roasted Blue Potato Wedges with Fresh Herbs

Roasted Blue Potato Wedges with Fresh Herbs at The Hungry Mouse

This is a really simple recipe. It’s a great, easy weeknight alternative to french fries. I tossed the potato wedges with some fresh, minced herbs, garlic, and olive oil, then baked ‘em in the oven.

No soaking? Only one fry? Start the potatoes in cold (yes, cold) oil? Come on. I had to try it. And man, am I glad I did. Hands down, these are the easiest, most delicious fries I’ve ever made.

Basic Cooking: Perfect Mashed Potatoes

May 27, 2009 / Jessie / Basics, Potatoes, Sides, Vegetarian, Veggies / 16 Comments

I could eat bowls of buttery mashed potatoes for dinner—which is probably why I don’t make them too often. (Hello, carb coma!) There are a zillion recipes out there for making mashed potatoes. Here’s how I make mine. They’re simple and creamy—and just a wee bit tangy from the addition of a little sour cream. [...]

Ever since this month’s Gourmet magazine showed up at The Mouse House, I kept going back to this recipe. When I found a bag of the sweetest little red bliss potatoes, I took it as a sign. The skins are crisp, the potatoes are soft and fluffy, and it’s ridiculously fun to fry a whole [...]

One Potato, Two Potato, Part 2: Duck Fat Hash Browns

February 3, 2009 / Jessie / Breakfast and Brunch, Duck, Potatoes, Veggies / 14 Comments
Duck Fat Hash Browns

What’s the best thing about making duck for dinner? The leftover duck fat. At least, so says The Mouse. What’s even better? Using that fat to fry potatoes. Mmmm, mmm, mmm. Right now, I’m not sure you could convince me there’s a more delicious thing on the planet. So, last week, I made a couple [...]

Hash Brown Omelette

Omelettes have always been one of my favorite weekend foods. You can get up late, fill one with whatever you have on hand, and it will keep you going for most of the day. When I moved to Boston, my favorite omelettes came from Deli Haus, a diner in Kenmore Square which sadly isn’t there [...]
