ROASTED POTATOES WITH RICOTTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place potatoes in center ofa 3-foot-long piece of foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bring long sides of foil together and fold edges over, then tightly crimp ends to create a packet. Roast on a baking sheet until cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a small X on top of each with a paring knife and gently squeeze open. Dollop about 1 teaspoon ricotta mixture into each. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over potatoes.

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon until done, but not crispy. Set aside on paper towels to absorb grease and pat dry. Cut into bite sized pieces when cool.
• Wash potatoes. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water, then add the potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes in boiling water (the potatoes will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside and allow to cool. Once you're able to work with the half-cooked potatoes, slice them into 1/2" pieces.
• In saucepan, melt butter. Saute the onion slices until just tender; remove from pan and set aside. Making sure you still have enough butter in your pan, stir in flour and milk, whisking until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring/whisking constantly for 1 minute. Add cheese and continue to stir until cheese melts. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix in bacon.

SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1) In stock pot, bring water to boil and then preheat the over to 375 degrees F.
• 2) Slice potatoes 1/4" thick; I prefer them with the skins on. (Can be completed ahead of time).
• 3) Shred all your cheeses and combine, mixing well. Set aside about 1/3 of a cup for topping. (This can be done earlier in the day.).
• 4) Parboil sliced potatoes for 1-2 minutes. They should just be slightly tender. Remove and drain on towel Let them completely dry. (This can be done ahead of time.).
• 5) In small saucepan, combine flour and butter over low heat and make a roux. Then add cream and continue heating on low heat, stirring gently.
• 6) Once the cream is warm, but not boiling, add the cheese in small quantities until all the cheese is melted and incorporated. Add salt, pepper, and paprika. Continue heating until the sauce thickens.
• 6) In a greased 9x9 glass roasting dish, layer potatoes in the bottom, about two layers tall. Pour part of the cheese mixture over this layer. Repeat until all the sauce and potatoes are used.
• 7) Top the potatoes with the 1/3c. of cheese mixture.
• 8) Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. If the top isn't thoroughly browned after the 45 minutes, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F. and bake until golden brown OR place under the broiler. If you broil them, watch them closely so they don't burn!
• 9) Let them cool before serving.
• Just one note, cheddar cheese is fairly high in oil, so after cooking you can remove some of the excess released from the cooking process fat with a spoon.
