Sweet Potato Soup

by Jillian Bedell November 7, 2012

The day after my birthday, I start thinking about Thanksgiving. A giant meal, a great parade, the fancy silver, wine, and board games. What is not to love? We feel especially thankful this year for our little family; we have a happy, healthy baby who has brought us so much joy. And we can’t wait [...]

Potato and Pepper Frittata

by Jillian Bedell February 22, 2012

My great-grandmother lived in a tall building in a big city not so far away. She was old. Wig-wearing old. Old country old. She didn’t own a television but always had 7-Up in the fridge. That was enough to make me like her a little, even though she was cold and spoke broken, accented English. When [...]

Crispy Oven-Roasted Potatoes

by Malcolm Bedell February 13, 2012

My dad was completely obsessed in his search for a perfectly-crispy hash brown. It was perhaps the most important metric by which he measured a breakfast place; the best diner breakfast in the world could be ruined by a side of wet, soggy, greasy hash browns. For him, such lazy inattention to detail was taken [...]

Poutine Potato Skins

by Jillian Bedell October 14, 2011

The conclusion and culmination of one week writing about Aroostook, the careful and colorful summary of a mere one night spent in Aroostook, is this: Poutine Potato Skins. The potato is my least favorite tuber, not high on my list of fun foods to consume. As a living human American in the late 1980′s, I [...]

Samosa-Inspired Baked Stuffed Potatoes

by Malcolm Bedell October 13, 2011

Everyone thinks of lobster, when they think of Maine…but did you know that the potato industry nearly matches that of the spiny crustacean, in terms of revenue generated in the state? You might not believe it, until you drive through Aroostook County, the Northernmost county in the state, and pass through the thousands of acres [...]

Classics: Yankee Pot Roast

by Malcolm Bedell September 26, 2011

Learning how to make pot roast is one of the more satisfying culinary endeavors you can undertake. There’s something immensely reassuring about taking big, cheap, tough cuts of meat, and, whether through slowly smoking or in this case, through braising, turning them into the moistest, most flavorful, most tender roasts ever to fall apart under [...]

Manchego Lamb Burgers w/ Fried Potato Chive Cakes

by Malcolm Bedell August 9, 2011

As you may have noticed, I’ve been having a real love affair with my grill. It’s an old three-burner Brinkmann I inherited that, at its newest and best, was still a $200 grill styled to look like a $600 grill. It leaks gas. The electric ignition is shot, requiring the operator of the grill to [...]

Beer & Bison Burgers with Garlic Pub Cheese and Bacon & Egg Potato Salad

by Malcolm Bedell May 30, 2011

Ground bison can be shaped into burgers and grilled just like ground beef, but the result is a substantially looser, leaner burger, much lower in fat than its ground-beef cousin. On a hot grill, bison burgers have a tendency to fall apart; we use rolled oats to bind the patties with the beer just a [...]
