This past week at La Domestique we welcomed autumn with the humble potato. Whether roasted, boiled, baked or fried, potatoes are always comforting. The creamy, earthy flavor takes us back to mom’s cooking. Potatoes come in several varieties, and this week week we looked at purple, red, golden, new, russet, and fingerling potatoes. Farmers markets are a great place to find unusual potatoes. I hope you’re inspired to try something new!
In case you missed anything, I’ve got a recap:
Monday: Announcing potatoes as the ingredient of the week and some recommended reading.
Tuesday: 10 Ways Tuesday! Creative ideas for cooking with potatoes in autumn.
Wednesday: Check out my column at Whole Foods Market Cooking Boulder. I shared a recipe for Potato Galette, a stunning but simple potato cake.
Thursday: The story of potatoes: growing, varieties, storing, cooking, and flavor pairing.
Friday: Recipe for Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Shiitake Mushrooms, Leeks, and Thyme.
Thanks so much for reading!
