BROWN BUTTER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, rinse in cold water and cut into fourths. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Swirl the pan as you go, stopping when the solids turn medium to deep golden brown.
• Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. With the burner on low heat, mash the potatoes with a potato masher; the more steam that's released while you mash, the better. Mash for about 5 minutes. Turn off the burner.
• Add the cream cheese, half-and-half, cream, some salt and pepper and three-quarters of the brown butter to the pot and stir to combine. If the mixture needs thinning, add some milk. Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the remaining brown butter over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

RUDY POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375. Spray casserole dish with cooking spray or with butter. Wash and peel potatoes. If using red potatoes you don't need to peel them. I have used different kinds of potatoes with this dish including baking potatoes. If the skins look good I don't peel them but that's up to you.
• 2. Thinly slice, crosswise, being very careful with the knife. Put a layer of potatoes and then pats of butter, salt and black pepper then repeat until you have the desired amount you want to cook. Note: I have used olive oil along with pats of butter to cut back on the amount of butter used. Sometimes I sprinkle cheese (such as Mexican blend, Brie and Parmesan) on top then snip some green onions or chives. I do this when the potatoes are almost done then return to the oven to melt the cheeses.
• 3. Place in oven and bake uncovered approximately 45 minutes or so to the desired doneness and browness. The amount of time also depends on how many potatoes you are cooking so use your own judgement. As you can see I like mine brown. The slices around the inside edges are crispy like potato chips. Yum!

BUTTERY RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil as you slice potatoes thick or thin, leaving the skin on. (I keep my slices "potato chip shaped" and not too thin!).
• Boil potatoes until tender (when a fork can be inserted with ease), about 15-20 minutes.
• Drain in colander.
• Place potatoes in a big bowl and add plenty of butter/margarine. (I use at least 2-3 tablespoons maybe more, depending on number of potatoes used and whatever our mood happens to be!).
• Then sprinkle chives on top of potatoes to taste and for a little more color.
• *Add salt and pepper to taste.
• *Can add some bacon bits and shredded cheese on top or mixed if you like. I haven't ever tried that, but sounds like it might be good.

ROASTED BARBECUE POTATOES

Steps:
