Sounds good. Will definitely try them.
Mashed potatoes were a staple at our house when I was growing up. Potato pancakes were a standard leftover product, but Mom evidently never thought of the added contents.
Since it's the holiday season, here is a kind of new twist on a candy recipe that the wife and her sister make eveery year. The recipe itself is one that was handed down through their family for at least three generations. The microwave makes it quicker, according to the Mrs. :
Cashew Brittle
½ C Karo Syrup (do not use Crystal Light syrup)
1 C Sugar 1 tsp Baking Soda
1 C Salted Cashews 1 tsp Vanilla
1 Tbl Butter/Margarine
In a large microwave safe bowl, combine syrup, sugar. In a 1800 to 2000 watt microwave, Cook on 70% for 5 minutes. Stir and add the cashews, cook at 70% for 3 minutes. Add Butter and Vanilla, cook 1 minute longer at 60%. Add Soda and stir. Pour onto an oiled cookie sheet or oiled aluminum foil.
BE VERY CAREFUL when you add the soda, as the mixture foams up and can cause some nasty burns!
Same here Warren always had potato cakes with the leftovers, nothing added to them just made into patties and brown on both sides which is always the way I have been doing it. Ran across this receipe and it looked good with the added stuff. There is a number of ways of doing them some even have corn added to the cakes.
Love Cashews but don't care much for brittle. Sure there is a number of people on here that will like that receipe, thanks for adding it in.
Just my luck, I guess.
At this writing, there are 42 containers with dozens of different kinds of fudges, divinity and other sugary treats in the spare room waiting to be made into candy trays for family and friends. Not counting several different nut brittles and one big roasting pan of butter toffee.
It's the thought that counts.... :-)
Thanks for the recipe, Joe. Sounds good and I think I will give it a try tonight!
Sounds great Joe!
& KT i expect some of that!
You got it, Jess. You don't know how hard it was to pass up the steak and potatoes last night. Man, they looked GOOD! And thank you guys for having us over.
our mom used to take leftover potatoes, a little hamburger, an egg or two and some catsup to make a potato patty. She cooked it on the griddle it was quite good.
Brief confirmation note.
Out of nearly 4 dozen recipes to choose from, I post one for something that you "don't much care for".
Just my luck! :-)
Keith, nothing like our own beef Rib Eye and hot out of the oven (not microwave) baked potatoes from a garden, not a bag!
Uncle! Uncle!
I'll take my brittle and go to my room!
It would appear Warren before you can take your brittle and go to your room, your Wife has to make it first. LMBO
Hey Keith did you do the Ham fritters, if so how did they turn out for you. Always curious when someone trys a recipe I post and how it went for them.
Not to worry, Joe, the candy is made. All 45 kinds!
The wife and her sister started last Tuesday at about 8AM and finished up Saturday about noon, with help from the kids and grandkids.
Later this week, we'll set up an assembly line to put together the plates we'll hand out before Christmas. Each plate gets at least one piece of each recipe. Some of the recipes have been handed down thru 5 generations that I know of. Some are "creations" that the girls have come up with.
I've been sampling the cashew brittle every day, but the wife has to hide the butter toffee(my personal favorite) so there will be some to hand out!
Wondering how I'm gonna steal one of those plates!
Maybe I can hide one in the microwave for you, Jessie.....
My microwave? That's gonna be a trick!
Yea, I sorta figured that. :-)
Joe, I did try it and it was outstanding! Of course I love anything with ham and onions.... and beer... and bacon for that matter :)
Typing that just put me in the mood for a big bowl of bean soup and sweet cornbread! Guess I better make a run to the grocery.
