SPRING ONION AND CHEESE POTATO CAKE, TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and top with enough water to cover by about 1 1/2 inches/4 centimeters. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then lower the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook until easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes (saving the skins for another use), and transfer them to a large bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, add half the olive oil to a large (12-inch/30-centimeter) cast-iron skillet or an ovenproof skillet that is at least about 3 inches/8 centimeters deep. Heat over medium. Once hot, add the spring onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly colored, about 6 minutes. If making with peas, add the peas and thyme; if making with peppers, add the peppers, cilantro and harissa. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper, stir to combine and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius (non-fan).
• Add the cream, eggs and yolk, Parmesan, preserved lemon, turmeric, half the Cheddar and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the potatoes in the large bowl. Use a potato masher to break everything down to a rough mash that is still a bit lumpy. Add the feta and the spring onion mixture and fold everything together.
• Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining olive oil, then transfer the skillet to the oven for about 5 minutes to heat up. Remove from the oven and carefully add the potato mix. Level the top, sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar and a few sprigs of thyme, if using, in the center and return to the oven.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/205 degrees Celsius and bake the cake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up before serving. Sprinkle with the extra cilantro, and serve warm, spooned directly from the pan.

GREYSTON'S POTATO ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and then add the honey, milk powder, salt, oil, potatoes and onion, stirring well. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of flour.
• Add 2 more cups of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is stiff. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead in enough flour until the dough is no longer sticky.
• Continue kneading for about 15 minutes and then place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise until dough is doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove dough from bowl, punch it down and shape into a ball. Return to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Punch down the dough again and turn onto a lightly floured board . Divide the dough in half and knead one piece, adding about 1/4 cup or more of flour to make the dough stiff enough to hold a round shape.
• Form a ball and then fold the dough inward while rotating it against the board to form a mushroom cap. Repeat this rotation 10 times. Lay the ball of dough on its side and roll and press the dough against the board about 10 times, continuing to keep the round shape. Repeat with the other ball.
• Place both balls on a buttered baking sheet and let them rise in a warm place, lightly covered with plastic wrap, for about 25 minutes. Brush the loaves with egg wash and make 2 quarter-inch-deep slashes to form a cross in each.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the loaves are golden and produce a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
