Last night was an okayish meal. I had some meatballs OH had bought, which were lovely, and OH insisted on beans though I think greens would have been better. The starch part, however, I am not sure about.
I got the recipe out of the 'I Hate to Cook Cookbook' by Peg Bracken which is a brilliant read. It is so funny - chapters titled, 'Leftovers, or why every family needs a dog', and 'Potluck, or how to bring the water for the lemonade'. It is very witty.
This was Mushroom Spuds. To paraphrase, you coarsely grate four medium potatoes. You heat a tin of condensed mushroom soup with half a tin of milk and stir it into the potatoes. Cook for 1 hour fifteen minutes at a moderate/warm oven gas 4, 350F, 180C.
OH loved it. I am really not sure. Little bear refused to touch it, but then he is currently refusing all forms of potatoes. I am not sure about darling father. He is always nice about my cooking, but he didn't polish his plate like OH did.
Next time I may try cooking it at a hotter temperature. Or in the Remoska. Or try with parboiled potatoes. Or just do chips.
