SPIEDIES



Spiedies image

Spiedies are the pride and joy of the Greater Binghamton area of N.Y. They are such an important part of life there that the biggest party of the year celebrates them - The Spiedie Festival and Balloon Rally brings thousands into the area every summer. Chunks of chicken (my favorite), pork, lamb (traditional) or venison are marinated in a mixture of oil, vinegar and herbs for 1 to 3 days, skewered, grilled and served on Italian bread with no condiments.

CRISPY BAKED SPUDS



Crispy Baked Spuds image

A different way to fix the sometimes-boring potato. They come out crisp, and they're really good alongside a steak or chicken. You can also cut them smaller and make "steak fries" to have with a meal or alone! This has been written down on a recipe card for years, and for some reason I didn't write down where I found it, or maybe I made it up. You can use any kind of herb you happen to like, tarragon or parsley are also good, or no herbs at all.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a starchy potato like Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape well and become fluffy when mashed.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will result in a smooth and creamy mashed potato. Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest results.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: In addition to salt and pepper, try adding other seasonings like garlic, onion, chives, sour cream, or cheese. You can also add herbs like parsley or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • Don't overmix the potatoes: Overmixing will make the potatoes gummy. Mash them just until they are combined and smooth, taking care not to mash them too much.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh. Leftover mashed potatoes can be reheated gently in a saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave.

Conclusion:

Speedy spuds are a quick and easy way to enjoy delicious mashed potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have creamy and flavorful mashed potatoes in no time. Try experimenting with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite combination. Enjoy your speedy spuds!
