Red Potatoes
Not republican potatoes, just those little red ones. ;-)
I have been doing them with herbs and garlic lately and they are pretty good Cut 10-12 in half. Place them cut side down in a frying pan and cover about 3/4s of them with water. Add a chunk of butter, a couple cloves of chopped/crushed garlic, salt and some thyme, chives, tarragon, parsley or whatever grabs your fancy. I am still playing with that mix. Simmer 15-20 minutes then crank up the heat and cook it down. As the water gets cooked off you have to be on top of it tossing them until you get stuff starting to caramelize without burning. Plate that up and you got ya something. |

No great fanfare with me- I halve the potatoes, season, butter, and nuke em till you can easily slide a fork in em.

About the only thong I actually cook in the microwave is corn. Soak the whole ear, shuck on, in salt water for a little while, then nuke it for about 4 minutes. When you take it out, cut the stalk end off at the first fat spot. Holding it with a towel, squeeze from the tassel end and a clean ear of corn poops right out. No silk or anything. Butter if you need it and chow down. |

Butter if you need it and chow down. I like corn with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a little garlic powder on the grill. Potatoes get the same treatment with a little crushed red pepper, then roasted in the oven. Sometime we boil small ones, them smash them flat in a skillet with olive oil and rosemary, brown them, then drizzle with lemon juice. I'm getting hungry. |

Sometimes I talk to the plate right before I pop it in there. Usually a playin Darth Vader in the Star Wars series.: "Noook- this is yaw destiny..." Lol! |

Plate that up and you got ya something. Cut them and brush with olive oil, coat with the herbs and roast on a flat pan in oven, even better. I also do them on my Treager. |
