POTATO CHIP ENCRUSTED TUNA TURNOVERS
I was recently given quite a few cans of tuna, so I dug into my collection of tuna recipes to see what I could come up with. I used to make these turnovers for my daughter when she was little; she loved them! Sometimes I would wrap them well in aluminum foil, put them in a wide mouth thermos, and they would still be warm come lunch time at school. These are a snap to prepare, and are thrifty and good. The potato chip crust makes them a little 'special', for kids and adults! They can be made into a hearty appetizer by tearing the dough for each biscuit in half and halving the filling.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the tuna with the salt and pepper, cheese, olives, and mayonnaise.
- Separate the biscuit dough into 10 biscuits; roll or press each into a four or five-inch circle. Spoon about 1/4-cup of the tuna mixture onto the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough in half over the filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Make two or three 1/2-inch slits on each top.
- Brush each turnover on each side with the beaten egg, then press both sides into the crushed potato chips. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 18 to 24 minutes until deep golden brown.
ROASTED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES AND TUNA
In this pantry-friendly recipe, golden, crackling-skinned potatoes move from side dish to main course after being tossed with tuna, capers and a pungent sauce of anchovies melted in brown butter. It's extremely adaptable. If you don't have (or like) tuna, use chickpeas or white beans instead. Just don't skimp on the onion, which adds a crisp sweetness to the potatoes. With their slightly thicker skins, fingerlings work especially well here, but use whatever you've got.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, cover potatoes with at least 1 inch of water, and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are very soft, 25 to 30 minutes. You want to overcook them a little, so the insides stay creamy when they're roasted later.
- Drain the potatoes, and let them cool until you can handle them.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use your hands to smash the potatoes to about 3/4-inch thick and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil and a little salt. (The more generous you are with the oil, the crispier the potatoes will get.) Arrange potatoes in a single layer.
- Roast until dark golden and crisp, 40 to 50 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in anchovies and capers, and continue to cook until butter is brown and nutty. Stir in garlic and remove pan from heat.
- Pour brown butter all over the potatoes. Add tuna (or beans) to the pan, and toss well. Season with more salt, if needed, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Scatter herbs and onions over the top and serve.
POTATOES & TUNA CASSEROLE-- NO PASTA ADDED
My SIL makes this quite often with a side dish of cooked rice and steamed broccoli. I kind of change it to suit my taste and believe it comes out perfect. Everyone finds it very tasty and without the usual pasta. I usually make it with side dish of green peas and spanish rice or simply a side salad.

TUNA TURNOVERS
This is one of those recipes that is so beat up that it fell out of the book - The More with Less Cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre. I learned a lot from this cookbook when I was a newlywed and new mother figuring out how to plan meals. These are great if you make your own biscuit dough but they're super easy if you use the refrigerated kind!

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except biscuit dough.
- Prepare biscuit dough - or open the tube :).
- If homemade dough, roll out to 1/8-to 1/4 inch thickness. If premade biscuit dough, flatten out each biscuit a bit - I divide them in half if they're the big fat type.
- Cut into 4-inch squares or rounds.
- Place about 2 1/2 T filling onto each dough piece, fold over and pinch to seal.
- I don't bother sealing these all the way - just roll them up and pinch closed across the top. Some of the filling may sneak out the ends, but I prefer them this way.
- Bake 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
- To freeze: Bake as directed and allow to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag. Seal, pushing out as much air as possible. Label and freeze.
- To serve: Allow to thaw in fridge or microwave. Good warm or cold.

Tips:
- For the best results, use cold mashed potatoes. This will help the turnovers hold their shape while baking.
- If you don't have any cooked potatoes on hand, you can boil or microwave some until they're tender. Then, mash them with a fork or potato masher.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your turnovers, such as chopped onion, bell pepper, or cheese.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made puff pastry dough instead of making your own.
- Be sure to brush the turnovers with egg wash before baking. This will help them brown nicely.
