BABY TARTS OF BLUE CHEESE (GERMAN AND VEGETARIAN)
This recipe from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny sounds so good to me. Roz said "These tarts make a light simple lunch w/a mixed green salad or an unusual starter. Using a blue-veined soft cheese such a blue brie works best. This is ideal for vegetarians." The pic was stunning & I favor this as a starter course as I'm not sure I could limit myself to 1 tart when served as an entree. (Time does not include the 20 min chill time). *Enjoy* !

GERMAN COTTAGE POTATOES WITH BACON
Posting for ZWT 6 and it was found on About.com for German Food. It sounds delicious!! Article states: Bratkartoffeln are a German food that people often want to recreate at home. There are two main tricks to making great pan-fried potatoes. Start them in a single layer in the pan with plenty of fat and do not put a cover on the pan. These potatoes with take 20 - 30 minutes to cook a crispy, golden brown but the wait is worth it.

Steps:
- Scrub whole potatoes of the same size and cook in salted water until easily pierced with a fork. Let cool and peel while still warm. Potatoes can be cooked several hours ahead.
- Chop bacon or "Bauchspeck" into small pieces and cook in a large frying pan (11 or 12 inches) until limp. Remove from pan but keep grease in pan. Add the butter and melt, but don't brown.
- Slice the cold potatoes into 1/4 inch slices (5 mm) and place a single layer in the hot fat. Place any extra potatoes on top of the first layer.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the onions and bacon and let them cook over medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes. Flip them when they become golden brown on the underside, but don't stir them.
- Sprinkle with marjoram, caraway, salt and pepper and cook for 5 - 10 more minutes. Add more butter if necessary, to facilitate browning.
- At home, these potatoes are traditionally served with fried eggs, pickles and green salad.
- Note: I use a non-stick pan, but the potatoes still need a lot of butter and grease to brown properly. This is an occasional treat for most people due to the high fat content, but they sure are good.

BLUE CHEESE & PEAR FILLING FOR MINI-TARTLETS (GERMAN)
I love this recipe from the *Food With Friends* section of *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny. Why do I love this recipe? - Because I like all easy, make-ahead, impressive & versatile food fare that convinces your guests you have taken spec care to enhance their dining pleasure. This recipe is versatile because it works as a finger-food appy, garnish for or part of a luncheon salad plate & creative addition to the popular fruit & cheese combo for dessert theme. I will opt for the latter as they are very popular here in Iceland. *Enjoy* !

I just watched Paula make this on TV. They look delicious! I reduced the sugar from 1 cup (personal preference) You can use other flavored pie fillings in place of the blueberry or even fresh fruit.
