      What's better than a potato salad with dill and hard-cooked eggs? I add a little relish in the mix and use lowfat mayo too.
      Potatoes get too much of a bad rap.

    And here's the cookbook!

    "One Potato, Two Potato," 300 recipes from simple to elegant-appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and more; Roy Finamore

    Can't recommend this highly enough! I've been cooking my way through this gem from the local library for about three months now . . . . can't believe no one else is requesting it.

    Favorite recipe? Gnocchi with Passata.

      That does sound good, Daien. I'll look for that one.

      Actually, my favorite thing to do with potatoes is my wife's "enchilada casserole." She makes a veggie version with lots of potato, carrots, celery, onion and a TON of cheese.

      It's mui delicioso!

          Zareen, how could I possibly say no??? My lovely wife kindly shared it with me, now I share it with you.

          AOneGirlRevolution's famous Enchilada Casserole

          (This is a vegetarian version on a Mexican family favorite. It's not lowfat, by any stretch of the imagination, but quite delicious and pairs well with a salad or soup. Te amo, OGR, mi latina diosa!)

          6-8 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
          1 16 oz. pkg. frozen baby carrots or 4-5 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
          1 large onion, chopped
          24 corn tortillas
          1 16 oz. can tomatillo or green (verde) enchilada sauce (mild)
          1 cup vegetable oil
          2 2-1/4 oz. cans chopped olives
          4 cloves garlic, minced
          5 cups cheese (your favorite or blend), shredded
          Cayenne or other red pepper, to taste
          Salt and pepper, to taste

          1) Place potatoes, onion and carrots in a single pot with a little salt and boil for ten minutes, or until very soft, and drain.

          2) Grease a 9x12, or larger, casserole pan or oven-safe dish and pre-heat oven to 375°F

          3) In a large mixing bowl combine potato, onion, carrot mix and add one can of olives, garlic, 3 cups of cheese, half the tomatillo or verde sauce and spices.

          4) Put the oil in a shallow bowl and coat the tortillas, one at a time, and line the bottom of the pan or dish.

          5) Spoon a little of the sauce over the tortillas, sprinkle a little cheese and spread a layer of the filling mixture. Repeat two or three times and end with a layer of tortillas.

          6) Top with remaining cheese and olives.

          7) Cover with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes or until heated completely through and bubbling.

          If you like your top crispy take the foil off for the last twenty minutes. We have this dish once a week, no exaggeration. It's so good and very inexpensive (we're extremely modest, financially). So, we've had a lot of different variations for toppings, to keep things interesting. Diced anaheim chilis (fresh and canned), fresh cilantro, queso fresca, pico de gallo, sour cream (this one is a constant favorite, actually) and crushed red pepper have all adorned this dish, at one time or another.

          I hope you enjoy this comfort favorite as much as we do. Viva diversidad!
