Title: MOSCOW IDAHO BAKERS
Categories: Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

4 lg Russet potatoes,scrubbed
1 tb Butter or margarine
1/2 c Chopped onion
1/2 c Milk
5 ts Cornstarch
1/4 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Marsala or madiera
1 c Shredded Jack cheese
8 oz Cooked ham, cut into
-Julienne strips
1 tb Dijon mustard
1 tb Prepared horseradish
Chopped parsley
Salt
Pepper

The potato has had a roller-coaster history. From
South America, its culture spread rapidly in the years
following the discovery of the New World. Spain and
Italy grew the potato first on the Continent, and it
was firmly established in England by 1629, when John
Parkinson, in his A GARDEN OF PLEASANT FLOWERS,
pronounced the Virginia potato, as he called it,
almost as good as the Spanish potato (we call the
latter sweet potato). He recommended cooking this
sweet vegetable with wine, sugar, and spices.

For sheer comfort, few dishes can equal a steaming
baked potato, freshly split, anointed with butter, and
sprinkled with salt and pepper. The addition of a meat
or cheese topping makes the baked potato a substantial
entree. From Moscow, Idaho, home of the baking potato,
A.J. Marineau sends us a recipe for such a dish.

=======================================================
============== ====

Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Set
potatoes on oven rack and bake at 400’F. until
potatoes give readily when squeezed, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a 1-1/2 to 2 quart pan over
medium-high heat. Add onion and stir often until limp,
about 5 minutes. Mix milk with cornstarch and stir
into pan alongside with buttermilk and marsala.

Stir over medium-high heat until boiling. Add cheese
and stir until melted. Stir in ham, mustard, and
horseradish; if sauce is ready before potatoes, set
aside. To use, stir over medium-high heat until hot.

Split potatoes in half lengthwise; fluff centers with
a fork. Set 2 halves on each plate and spoon sauce
onto potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley; season
to taste with salt and pepper.

KALAMARAKIA PILAFI (SQUID BAKED WITH RICE)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Greek Seafood
Main dish

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method

1 lb Medium squid
Salt
1/4 c Olive oil
3 Garlic cloves — sliced
1/4 c Dry white wine
2 Tomatoes — peeled seeded
3 tb Butter
1 c Raw long-grain white rice
Chopped parsley
1 tb Chopped fresh rosemary
Freshly ground pepper

Wash and clean the squid, separating the outer sacs from the heads and
tentacles, removing and discarding the translucent cartilage, and small
sand bag and ink. Rub salt on the outer sacs and rinse them inside and out
with cold water. Rinse head and tentacles thoroughly as well. Slice squid
into uniform rings, between 1/2 and 1 inch wide. Heat the oil in a frying
pan and add the squid and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the wine
and sliced tomatoes, cover, and simmer until the squid is almost tender
(approximately 30 minutes). Transfer to a baking dish.
Meanwhile, heat the butter and saute the rice, without browning, until
transparent, stirring constantly. Add the rice to the squid and sprinkle
with 1/4 cup chopped parsley, the rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
Add enough hot water to cook the rice, slightly more than 2 cups including
the tomato sauce. Cover and bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 30 to 40
minutes, or until the rice is tender. Sprinkle with additional chopped
parsley and serve hot.
