#any potato in any dish

[nartml]

ngl without any shame potatoes are my absolute favourite food. i can eat them any time, any place, any form. i'll cook them everyday, all year. i'll invent new recipes, just to enjoy them in even more versions. i'll consume them until im sick. i'll eat potatoes until i become one.

It’s almost midnight

I’m hungry

I want a baked potato

All I want is a baked potato

Everything else looks yucky

I have no potatoes

I’m not eepy

I cannot eep off the humgry

This is the end

I fear I shall perish

Deruny (Деруни)

I thought it'd be fun to give the recipes for any of the food they mention in the series, so here's the first! Deruny aka Ukrainian Potato Pancakes! I've made something similar myself as it's a basic recipe, so I can fully recommend making these (even though I haven't specifically made Deruny before).

Ingredients:

About 1lb of potatoes (I've always used non waxy for potato pancakes)

1 onion

1 Egg

3 Tbsp of flour

1 Tbsp of sour cream (I use greek yogurt)

Salt and pepper to taste (I don't add salt to mine until after but that's me)

Frying oil (I like peanut as it's pretty flavor neutral and good for high heat. Avocado oil is another good high heat oil if you're making these peanut free. That said I've used canola and even olive in a pinch though I don't really like either of those for frying foods.)

Grate the potatoes and onion into a bowl so you get a nice pile of potato onion mush. I would alternate grating a potato and then some onion until you run out of both because the potatoes will blacken with air exposure, but the onion stops that.

Then add all the other ingredients, except the oil, and mix together. You should have something slightly gloopier and definitely lumpier then actual pancake batter, kinda like thick applesauce.

Heat a few tbsps of oil in your pan and get it fry hot. To check if the pan is ready give it a couple of minutes and you should see the oil start to waver on the bottom of the pan. When you flick some room temp water at the oil surface it should immediately hiss/spit. It's ready.

Take a large spoon or small measuring cup and pour batter into the hot pan so you have a few small roughly 3-4 inch circles in the pan. Fry until golden brown, like 2ish minutes and then flip and do the same to the other side.

Serve these suckers hot! They go well with sour cream, yogurt, hot sauce, applesauce; Quite frankly whatever you like with your potatoes goes with this dish!

Enjoy!

Being home alone with my dad this weekend is a horror experience because he does not know how to cook a single thing but he insists for me not to do anything because I have a huge exam coming up. So every time I walk into the kitchen I'm hit with an urge to strangle someone

🍝 & 🖤 for Elise and Emily

🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?

Hm..thinking about Elise's backstory -- she was born in 1957. She grew up in public housing in a poor neighborhood in the 1960's, and would would have been a teenager in the early 1970's. Thinking of the cuisine of the era, particularly among the working poor: food tended to be simple, convenient, and bland. Thinking of what I've said about Armorican cuisine in the past, and what I've said to @nexility-sims in recent DM's: some kind of potato-heavy casserole prepared with some kind of canned soup. I'm imagining something like potatoes au gratin, made with a can of soup instead of butter and cream. I'm envisioning canned clams playing a role, as well. As for Emily...egg tarts. I don't know why, but she's giving me egg tart vibes. She must be a dim sum girlie.

🖤 BLACK HEART — has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?

Before she joined the royal family, Elise played hockey professionally. Although women's hockey tends to involve less bloodsport than men's hockey, Elise was probably involved in at least one on-ice brawl during the course of her ten-year career. I don't think she's ever seriously physically injured anyone, but she broke a fair few hearts during the same span of time. Emily is a mild, bookish girl, and Freddy is her first-ever boyfriend. She's never been in a physical fight, never crashed a car, never committed drunken manslaughter at a party. And she's certainly never broken anyone's heart...

@islandoforder they sell this at my local grocer's with all the other herbs and spices, and it truly is great on everything. when i was poor at Uni i made my mom send me a bottle in her first care package, and i grabbed some for my first shopping trip stocking up my new apartment

a life-changing food option a good friend introduced to me that i officially adore:

potatoes in chili.

[mutantenfisch]

I made Schnitzel out of celery roots and while they are ugly af because I ruined the breading by flipping them too roughly, they are delicious and definitely go on my list of new favourites.

I find Diluc lowkey funny at times because he comes across as the type that seems like a cultured responsible gentleman. He can't drink vodka without passing out. But then you look at his preferred eating habits and like it's basically meat, meat, decadent tastes, severe lack of vegetables, more meat, and an almost complete dislike of fish.

i had to make a solution for this for myself, mostly because of depression, but it makes a nice How To for folks who are low on spoons or could use some help in the kitchen.

Fortunately i was a professional cook for over a decade. UNfortunately the first post i made explaining it was suuuuper long. Let's see if i can do better

So you select any protein that you can cook in a frying pan -- chicken breasts, ground beef, pork chops, sausages, steak, chicken thighs, whatever. You also select one or two types of veggie (mushrooms or tubers also work, i just did this with potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight).

[i like cooking for vegetarians, but this is how i cook for myself when i'm low on spoons - perhaps i'll do another post for meatless meals]

You'll also need some kind of oil, and a sauce or two of your choice in a bottle. All cooking gear is a large frying pan with lid (i prefer non-stick) a spatula, a cutting board, and a knife.

You cut the veggies into bite size pieces, cut up enough for two meals. One kind of veggie is fine, or you can do mix two or three

Put frying pan on medium heat with a little oil. Tubers or mushrooms or go in the pan a few minutes before the protein. 2 portions of the protein goes in the pan, about 5 minutes with lid (don't worry you can still get a good sear on both sides)

Now flip your protein if it's flip-able and add normal veggies, put the lid back on another five-ish minutes.

Take your protein out and put it with one portion of the veggies in a microwave safe container. That's going to be your lunch tomorrow. Put the other portion of protein on a plate to rest (you have to let a cooked protein sit a couple minutes before you serve it or when you cut into it all the juices run out and it goes dry - the liquids thicken as it cools, preventing this drying out if you let it rest, the goal is to serve it very warm but not hot hot)

While it's resting, pour some sauce from your bottle in the pan with the rest of the veggies and turn up the heat. A single sauce/bottle is fine, i like to get fancy and mix a couple. Two examples of personal favorite mixes are 1: bbq sauce and a hot sauce like sriracha 2: roughly equal parts low sodium soy sauce and worcestershire (makes something similar to a teriyaki sauce) A swallow of wine is almost always a great option if you want to add that to your sauce too, just add it to the pan before the other sauces so the alcohol has time to burn off.

...

Here is the important bit. While your veggies are finishing, wash your cutting board and chef knife. Then when you dump your veggies and sauce over your protein on the plate, while it is still too hot to eat, you wash your frying pan and spatula before you eat. Now the only dishes you have left to do are your plate and fork. Maybe a steak knife.

...

The whole thing takes about 35 minutes even with washing the dishes, and that includes your lunch for the next day- just pour a different sauce on and stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes (or five minutes back in the frying pan) and you have a full healthy lunch with a different flavor

You can use this technique every single meal and it yields hundreds of combinations, from pork and potatoes bbq, to salmon and broccoli teriyaki, to chicken and zucchini in a soy glaze.

It will keep you down to less than an hour of kitchen time per day total for both lunch and dinner including all dish clean up, uses the least dishes, the least effort, requires the least technique, and is, depending on what you pick out, very affordable

here are a couple more examples from this month; i didn’t take pictures of the salmon i did recently, but you get the idea

it's not super fancy, but it is easy, affordable, quick, and any flavors you want. Hope this helps some folks

Happy Cooking!

I thought I was more annoying about my job on here fjskdj I work in a small grocery store bakery/deli area. I make people's fried chicken or sliced meat/cheese or cold salads, mainly. Most of the bakery stuff is done by the time i get there, unless I have bag bread so im mostly doing deli stuff

[snekdood]

you'll find my ass always trying to find excuses to sneak some kashmiri chili powder in everything sdhjfdshgvgsdvf

[teddytoroa]

my advice to you; put a little dijon mustard in any cheesy beige food. whisk it into your cheese sauce just before u add the cooked macaroni. spread a thin layer in your cheese toasties. add a spoonful to your mashed potatoes with the butter. anything thats gonna be heavy on rich dairy and starches will benefit enormously from the hint of warmth and acidity that dijon mustard will give it, even if you don't add enough to make it Taste Like Mustard (which, ideally, you shouldnt). itll cut through the richness and stop your tastebuds getting fatigue from too much fat&starch, which is important for the overall enjoyment of a dish. ur welcome. take this knowledge and change the world

The last thing I ate was two bites of expired egg salad about... 20 hours ago?

Since then I have sustained myself on coffee, and only coffee.

Now, I've made myself a very nice, nutritional soup.

It is rebelling against the coffee.

anyone else like comedically bad at cooking for just themselves....like it doesn't matter what it is I'm going to make too much of it on accident. somehow in the midst of cooking I turn into a 1400s peasant woman with 10 children I need to feed after they've worked the fields
