Mary Janes Potatoes Recipes

MARY JANE'S POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes WITH THE SKIN ON until barely fork tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain and cool.
• While potatoes are cooling, saute onion in butter just until opaque. You don't want them browned. Set aside.
• When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes and grate them into a 9 x 13 casserole.
• Top potatoes with onions and butter, and sprinkle on seasoning salt to taste.
• Pour cream over potatoes.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and cream has cooked into the potatoes.

POTATO CRUNCHY TENDERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• While the oil is heating, beat the milk and egg together in a bowl. In another bowl, stir together the instant mashed potatoes, salt, and pepper.
• Stir the chicken tenders with the milk mixture to coat thoroughly, then shake off excess milk and dip each tender into the potato flakes. Place the breaded tenders into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

CREAMED PEAS AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
• In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Simmer peas in boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes, or until tender (do NOT overcook). Drain.
• Using the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a thick paste; gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now add potatoes and peas to the sauce; simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Serve immediately.
