What's Cooking (Take Four)

Oh, nice. Essentially it's a Potato Savoyard, without the the gruyere layer (which disappears during the bake).

A potato Savoyard does not have onions, and is cooked for a lot shorter time. Calders' recipe cooks for two to three hours and has no cheese. By the way, I ordered two jars of the peppers from Amazon...they must be coming from another country because the delivery time is very long. I ordered two jars and was not allowed to order more than that. Weird

Well, the potatoes need to cook until they're done. 'Done' is achieved by time x heat. The Laura Calder recipe needs 2-3 hours because it calls for a low temperature of just 300. Increase the temperature, and you can reduce the cooking time. It can be made equal, they're both gratins with broth only for moisture and no cream vs. a classic potato gratin.

Karen, hopefully the two jars were the same kind--not the hot, or the sweet brine version. The original, which I sent you, has a gold lid. You can also order them direct Mama Lil's: shipping's $10 but that's less than sending one jar via the USPS!

Not cooking at home tonight. Bellingham's most-celebrity of celebrity chefs currently not cooking professionally has invited me over for dinner--woo hoo! Hopefully it's not because he wants to introduce me to his dad.

Yep, that is exactly what I ordered. Thanks for checking.
