Hi Ya'll,
Hope everyone is enjoying a good harvest and great food made from peppers.
I have a make-shift recipe that I thought I would share with you. These
don't count as "real potatoes" to my husband because they aren't mashed but
what does he know?!!!
It makes for a simple meal if you are already cooking meat on the grill.
Grilled spice potatoes
------------------------------
1) Wash as many potatoes as you think you are going to need
2) Microwave potatoes until half done
3) Make three cuts across each potato, deep but not all the way through
4) Spritz each potato with oil
5) Sprinkle with spices of choice (season salt, onion, black pepper, etc.)
over each and on skin
6) Fill each slit with slices of cheddar cheese, fresh sliced garlic, and
hot peppers of choice
7) Wrap each potato in individual peices of foil
8) Put on grill with indirect heat and close the lid (if your grill has one)
Takes about a half hour, poke with a fork to be sure. If you keep them
away from the direct heat source they can stay on longer or put on top
rack.
These can acutally be a meal by themselves. I have also just spritzed
potatoes with oil and covered in spices, no pre-cooking and did them in
foil. They are great.
Oh, and I think it was Tarheel Steve who wrote the recipe for the crabmeat
stuffed Jalapenos with bacon.......Thanks for the addiction! Made those
last night, what a fantastic snack. The bacon actually acts as a barrier
to the rest of the oil and they come out great, not too oily. Try them.
I am also enjoying picking ORANGE habs from my plants. That is a big deal
in Upstate NY as usually I am lucky to get any habs at all before frost and
they aren't anywhere near orange. We have been blessed......
