LOW-FAT SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 3-quart flameproof baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the potatoes and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon to make a paste. Cook, stirring, until the paste puffs slightly, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in both milks and simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the nutmeg. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
• Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the gruyere. Bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Switch the oven to the broiler setting and broil the potatoes until browned on top, about 5 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

DUCK FAT POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C.
• Toss the potato with the duck fat on a metal baking sheet. Scatter over the salt, pepper, and herbs, if using. Bake the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.

SECRET INGREDIENT LOW FAT POTATO SALAD!

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes if needed & cut into 1" dice. Boil until just tender - not TOO soft! Drain the potatoes in a colander and set on one side too cool.
• Meanwhile, mix together the low fat mayonnaise, low fat creme fraiche OR low fat sour cream & Maggi seasoning. Add the black pepper to taste.
• Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and mix well but try not to break the potatoes up. Add the cornichons, ham & spring onions to the potato salad - mix through gently.
• Taste and add more Maggi seasoning or black pepper if required.
• Put into an attractive bowl and sprinkle more spring onions on as a garnish or parsley. I also like to sprinkle on smoked paprika as a garnish topping too.
• Optional:.
• Instead of the ham, use crisply fried bacon. Great with egg - egg & bacon potato salad! Instead of the spring onions, use diced red onions.
• I have also added diced left over chicken & chopped apple to this mixture.
• I have given the option of using more or less mayonnaise mixture for personal taste; some people like it very creamy & others like it not so creamy!
• Maggi seasoning is quite salty, so use 1 tablespoon to start with, adding more if needed - teaspoon by teaspoon!
