2 cloves garlic, minced (optional) 

Salt and pepper to taste Optional

grated Parmesan cheese, balsamic glaze, lemon zest

Crepes recipe

    


 Ingredients: 

1 ½ pounds fresh collard greens, washed and chopped 

6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped 

1 onion, chopped 

3 garlic cloves, minced 

4 cups chicken broth (or water) 

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 

1 teaspoon sugar 

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) Salt and black pepper, to taste 

Optional: hot sauce for serving 

Instructions: 

1. Cook the Bacon: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the bacon grease in the pot. 

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same pot with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. 

3. Add the Collard Greens: Gradually add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to coat them in the bacon grease and onions. It may seem like a lot at first, but the greens will cook down significantly. 

4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and stir in the apple cider vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the greens simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender. 

5. Add Bacon and Adjust Seasoning: Once the greens are tender, stir the cooked bacon back into the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed. 

6. Serve: Serve the collard greens hot, optionally with a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor. These greens are a perfect side dish for fried chicken, cornbread, or any Southern meal! Tips: 

For smoky flavor:  Add a smoked ham hock or turkey leg to the pot while the greens are simmering, and remove it before serving. Make ahead: Collard greens get better as they sit, so feel free to make them a day ahead and reheat before serving for even more flavor!

Ingredients


4 cups mashed potatoes, *

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, (8 oz)

1 large egg

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or up to 1/2 cup flour for creamier potatoes

2 1/2 Tbsp chives, chopped

1/2 cup plain bread crumbs

2 Tbsp Light Olive oil , or Canola oil to sauté

Sour cream to serve

Cook Mode

Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Fill a 5 Qt pot with water. Add 1 Tbsp salt and peeled quartered russet potatoes (2 lbs or about 7 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered). Cook until easily pierced with fork. Drain well and mash in 4 Tbsp butter then let cool to room temp. Mashed potatoes can be made 1 - 3 days ahead.

How to Make Mashed Potato Pancakes:

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mashed potatoes, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup flour and 2 Tbsp chopped chives. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until well mixed. If the potatoes are too loose to hold a patty shape, add flour a Tablespoon at a time.

Place a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture between your palms and form into a round, 1/3" thick patty. Dredge both sides of the pancake in bread crumbs and set on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining pancakes.


Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat with enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add patties in a single layer and sauté 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed. I usually have 2 skillets going at once to finish sooner.
