This recipe for yellow potatoes turns out delicious and crusty. The secret step is boiling the potatoes in a salted, seasoned liquid. As a result, they absorb flavor and salt and, more importantly, cook on the surface, forming a great, crunchy texture in the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds new yellow potatoes , halved
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 3 cloves garlic , whole, peeled, bruised
- 2 bays leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch kosher salt

Mini Ham Loaves
These mini ham loaves are a family favorite. My aunt used to make them every Easter. The recipe comes from an old church cookbook. Whenever I order meat from the local meat market, I order ground ham and pork premixed. I order triple the required meat, packaged into three packages. I give one to my mother, use one, and freeze one to use later. Serve these loaves with horseradish.
Grilled Asian Ginger Pork Chops
Asian ingredients give these grilled chops lots of unique flavour. They can also be put in the oven and broiled.
Marie-Claude's Orange Cake
This cake is the one my mother is preparing like a chef! It is really simple but excellent. You cannot fail it. Good luck and degustez avec bon! (The cake will look dark orange so if you use black decoration on it, it is a perfect Halloween dessert).
