If you roast your potatoes naked – without foil wrapped around it – you’ll get a wonderful browned crust with super fluffy soft flesh inside and if you’re a potato skin eater like me, you’ll be in potato heaven.
Here’s what you’ll need:
(Makes 4 servings)
4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
1 tsp olive oil
pinch each salt and pepper
Prick potatoes with fork and rub with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet in 400ºF (200ºC) oven, turning once, until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Tip: Try this with sweet potatoes – they cook faster than other potatoes, so check at the 30-minute mark.

Cheddar Cheese and Potato Cabbage Rolls

http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quick_and_easy/cheddar_cheese_and_potato_cabbage_rolls.php

• Portion size 6 to 8

Ingredients

• 2 lb (900 g) potatoes, peeled and chopped
  1/3 cup sour cream
  3 oz (85 g) double-smoked or regular bacon, chopped
  2 onions, chopped
  Pinch salt
  1 Savoy cabbage
  1-1/2 cups shredded extra-old to 3-year-old Canadian Cheddar cheese
  1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  1/4 tsp pepper
  2 tbsp butter, melted

Preparation

In saucepan of lightly salted water, boil potatoes until tender, about 18 minutes; drain and return to pot. Cook over low heat until potatoes are dry, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mash with sour cream until smooth.

Meanwhile, in small skillet, fry bacon over medium heat until just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add onions and salt ; fry, stirring often, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large pot, bring 1 inch (2.5 cm) salted water to boil over high heat. Separate at least 16 leaves from cabbage (reserve inner small leaves for another use). Add to water; cover and steam until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain well. Cut v-shaped notch at base of each leaf to remove thick core.

Fold bacon mixture, cheese, half of the parsley and pinch of the pepper into potato mixture. Place about 1/4 cup filling at base of each leaf and roll up. Arrange rolls in single layer in lightly greased 13- x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish. Sprinkle with butter and remaining pepper. Cover with foil. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until tops are light golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
