28 Sep 05 - 10:46 AM (#1571748) Subject: RE: spring onions - how to proceed From: beardedbruce I would add after mashing, then cook a little more. Just my preference... And consider sliced leeks, when you can get them... Best if they are sauted ( a little) before adding to the potatoes. |

28 Sep 05 - 11:17 AM (#1571775) Subject: RE: spring onions - how to proceed From: Pied Piper I cook the spuds in a pressure cooker (with a clove of garlic), empty into a pan add the spring onions (and for me black pepper and mature Cheddar cheese) and mash. Have it with spring greens cooked with olive oil and a little water till dry. Now add grilled smoked mackerel and your away with the Gods. PP |

29 Sep 05 - 12:51 PM (#1572191) Subject: RE: spring onions - how to proceed From: Stilly River Sage Lately I've been fixing the potatoes by giving them a quick scrub, then cutting them unpeeled into chunks (I usually slice across the potato for about a 1/2 inch or less thick slices, then cut that slice into two or three chunks) and sautee them in some olive oil in a skillet. Add fresh garlic, a little onion (or sprinkle powder in a real hurry) and add some chives at the end along with a little salt. Comes out great. |

29 Sep 05 - 11:05 PM (#1572612) Subject: RE: spring onions - how to proceed From: dianavan Here's a recipe for a great potluck dish. Grate boiled potatoes Add sour cream, grated cheddar cheese and onion. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. The onions can be either green or the brown cooking onions, diced. Refridgerate overnight. Yummy! |

Giok. |
