Smoky Bacon Potato Casserole

October 27, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon 3 Comments

These mashed potatoes are not for the faint of heart. These mashed potatoes are the pinnacle of mashed potatoes. These are not your quick weeknight mashed potatoes. These are the mashed potatoes you serve with luxurious beef tenderloin or kobe steaks on a special occasion. These are the mashed potatoes you turn up with when someone asks you to bring mashed potatoes because they … [Read more...] about Smoky Bacon Potato Casserole

Slow Cooker French Potatoes

January 7, 2024 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The slow cooker is a great way to free up oven space, or to be able to put a dish in to cook with very little fussing about while you get on with other things. Using it to cook potatoes while you work on a beautiful roast and a lovely dessert, set the table, toss the salad and plate the hors d’oeuvres, can be a true boon.

The minute she put this on her table, I knew I would copy … [Read more...] about Hummus Platter with Spice Roasted Vegetables

I kind of think … [Read more...] about French Potato Salad

Baby Potatoes in Garlic and Thyme Cream

May 8, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The little baby potatoes I find at the farmers market are perfectly delicious, lovingly grown by local farmers. I frequently buy them when I am at the market planning a meal – great pastured steaks or burgers or freshly made sausages, whatever gorgeous vegetables are in season (asparagus, radishes, beautiful lettuces at this time of year) and some great fruit (strawberries … [Read more...] about Baby Potatoes in Garlic and Thyme Cream

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
