Mandoline Practice: Cheap Potato Ideas for Tomorrow's Show

[PamperedK]

I'm going to be practicing with my Mandoline today for my show tomorrow. Any ideas for what I can make with a bunch of potato slices? I know potatoes are cheap but I can't afford to waste food.

I don't like scalloped potatoes, so those are out.

Any ideas for a dip for baked slices??

I have made baked chips with the crinkle blade, scallopped potatoes with the straight blades, and I always slice my potatoes on the mandoline before boiling to mash so they cook faster!

How 'bout melting some cheddar cheese and adding bacon bits and/or onions in for a dip to dip in or pour over the slices.

Oooh that sounds good! Kind of like perogies or something!

How long do you baked them? AT what temp?

I can't remember what book it is in right now but there is a recipe for potato rounds (kind of like potato skins). You bake them with cheese, bacon and green onion on top.

Haven't found mine around yet, but think that was in the older stoneware sensations book - sounds familiar...

Maybe that's where I subconsciously got my idea to put cheddar cheese, bacon and onion on top.

Great tip! I never would have thought to slice the potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Thanks!

I like to fry mine. Add some bacon, onions, and fresh mushrooms and sprinkle with one of our rubs. I put a little oil in the pan and cover them and let them cook for about 20 minutes, flipping them every once in awhile. Yum, but probably very fattening!
