tatsty tater recipe

[Guest guest]

Every winter I seem to arrive at a new recipe, and this one came by

accident. Most longtime vegetarians I know have cooked potatoes every

way we know how, and this recipe is something I made on the fly to

make a quick, tasty, filling snack!

 

Needed:

1 good sized russet potato

1 ceramic bowl

spices

1tsp olive oil

1Tsp water

Microwave oven

 

I take one good sized russet potato, wash, and leave the skin on.

Then, cut in half long-ways, and each half in half, and keep cutting

in that manner until you have a number of long, slender wedges. Then

I place them in a criss cross pattern in a deep rice bowl. Next, add

a slpash of water, just enough to add some steam, salt lightly, add a

dash of pepper, cayene, and cumin. Next, drizzle on some olive oil,

then sprinkle on finely ground basil. Cover the dish, and microwave

for three minutes. After it's done cooking, I like to leave it in the

microwave for about a minute, then serve. It may take some

experimening to find the appropriate amount of spices you like.

 

One alternative I enjoy, is to substitute soy sauce for the water and

salt. Another alternative is to add a washed carrot, sliced at long

angles. The added carrot will add about a minute to the cooking time.

Two medium sized potatoes take about five minute cooking time.

 

Enjoy!

Thanks, Josh - shall put in the files along with the recent recipes in a little

while ;=) Snacks are great to have, and I am always intrigued by microwave

recipes.

hey, pat,

 

you're welcome. being vegetarian has always been part of my

spirituality, and it's important to me the care and process I use in

preparing all of my foods. I take great care in cutting and chopping,

particularly after having chopped the tip of a finger off once (OW!)

Mindfulness is so important in preparing foods. I for one am not a

big fan of the baked potato, plus, by cutting up a potato, it will

cook quicker. I guess it stems from my Southern roots, but I love

potatoes cooked just about anyway, and NOTHING tastes better than

home-made organic potato chips or french fried potatoes!

 

I live a busy life, and have but a few sit-down meals each week, so,

healthy, quick snacks are a must for me.

 

Good health, and good eating to all!

Josh
