SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE POTATOES
I came up with this dish just the other day when my fiancé asked for a ham that night for dinner. I usually make regular old mashed potatoes with ham, but that night I just didn't feel like it. So I scrambled through my kitchen a bit and came up with these bad boys.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking pan with foil (I use release foil, but if you're not, grease the foil).
- With a really sharp knife (if you know how to do it) or a mandolin, cut the potatoes just about paper thin (like potato chips); place slices in a bowl of water and set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3-5 minutes or until it starts to smell nutty.
- Whisk in the broth and the cream then bring it to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and add the chives, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
- Spread a little of the chive sauce on the bottom of the lines pan then place two layers of potatoes on top of that.
- Spread more of the chive sauce on that, sprinkle with cheese and start again the two layers of potatoes, then the cream sauce, then the cheese (You should get about 4 to 5 layers if the potatoes are really thinly sliced).
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes (the potatoes should fork tender, and if they're not, just cover them and cook them for another 10-15 minutes).
- Let rest on your counter for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE POTATO PANCAKES
Yummy pancakes which can be served for breakfast, brunch, as a snack or as a side-dish. Although the recipe specifies sebago potatoes, you can also use russet burbank or spunta potatoes. All of these are potatoes that are varieties which are good for baking. This recipe has been adapted from a recipe in the Australian Women's Weekly's 'Potatoes: over 100 exciting ways to cook the humble spud', recently reprinted by popular demand. It is essential to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the potatoes in step one before adding the potatoes to the other ingredients. Please feel free to vary the herbs according to your taste preferences.

Steps:
- Grate the potatoes coarsely; squeeze the excess moisture from the potatoes; combine the potato in a large bowl with the onion, garlic, chives, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper to taste, egg yolks flour and sour cream.
- Beat the egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks o the potato mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil with 20g of the butter in a non-stick pan; cook heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture, uncovered, until browned on both sides; drain the pancakes on absorbent kitchen paper and cover to keep warm; repeat with the same amounts of the remaining oil, butter and potato mixture.
- Notes: One Australian measuring cup holds approximately 250ml (8 fluid ounces), one Australian tablespoon holds 20ml and one Australian teaspoon holds 5ml. North America, New Zealand and the United Kingdom use a 15ml tablespoon. In this recipe, the addition of the rosemary and sage is really best guided by taste. I never measure herbs.
Tips for Making Chive Cream:
- Use fresh chives: Fresh chives have the best flavor and will give your cream a vibrant green color.
- Chop the chives finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cream.
- Use a good quality sour cream: Look for a sour cream that is thick and creamy, with a tangy flavor.
- Season the cream to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like.
- Chill the cream before serving: This will help it to thicken and develop its flavor.
Conclusion:
Chive cream is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a pop of flavor and color to grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. It can also be used as a dip for chips or crackers. No matter how you choose to use it, chive cream is sure to be a hit!
