Potato Dauphine
1/2 pound russet (baking) potatoes (about 1)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg
Vegetable oil for deep frying the potatoes
Coarse salt for sprinkling the croquettes if desired
Bake the potatoes in a preheated 425 degree oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are soft, halve them lengthwise, and scoop the potato out of the shells with a spoon, reserving the shells for another use. Force the scooped out potato through a ricer or a food mill fitted with the medium disk into a large bowl.
In a saucepan combine 3 tablespoons water, the butter, the salt, and the nutmeg, bring the mixture to a boil, and stir in the flour all at once. Reduce the heat to moderate and beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes, or until the paste pulls away from the side of the pan and forms a ball. Remove the pan from the heat, add the egg, beating the mixture until it is smooth and shiny.
Add the potatoes and beat the mixture until it is combined well. The potato mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. In a deep fryer or large kettle heat 2 inches of the oil until it registers 340 degrees on a deepfat thermometer. Transfer the potato mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch star tip and pipe eight 2 1/2 inch lengths, cutting them with kitchen shears or a small knife, directly into the oil. Fry the croquettes, turning them with a slotted spoon, for 3 minutes, or until they are crisp, golden, and cooked through, transfer them as they are fried to paper towels to drain, and sprinkle them with the salt. Make more croquettes in batches with the remaining potato mixture and transfer the drained croquettes to a rack set in a jellyroll pan (to prevent them from becoming soggy). The croquettes may be made 2 hours in advance, kept covered loosely with paper towels at room temperature, and reheated on the rack in a preheated 400 degree oven for 5 minutes, or until they are heated through and crisp. If not making the croquettes in advance, keep them warm in a preheated 300 degree oven.

Potato, Egg, and Hominy Breakfast (O'Brien or Hash Browns)
1 can hominy grits -- rinsed and drained
1/2 can tomatoes with green chilis -- with juice (ie, Rotel)
1/2 cup Egg Beaters 99% egg substitute -- lightly beaten with splash of water or nonfat milk
1/2 package hashed brown potatoes -- frozen, cubed style red and green bell peppers -- chopped; optional
onions -- chopped; optional
2 teaspoons chili powder -- or to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin -- to 1 tsp
fresh ground black pepper
hot sauce -- at serving time
Vegetarian sausage -- optional
Use the cubed style frozen hash browns, not the shredded ones. I used Ore Ida's "Potatoes O'Brien" that has peppers and onions in it.
(If you are not using frozen hash browns that already have peppers and onions, you may wish to saute some prior to beginning the potatoes.)
Preheat nonstick skillet. Add frozen hash browns and seasonings. When the potatoes are mostly cooked, add the Rotel tomatoes and the drained hominy. Cook until heated through.
Make a "crater" in the center of the pan by pushing everything to the side of the pan. Pour the lightly beaten Egg Beaters into the hole you just created. Let them begin to set, and gently drag a spatula across the bottom of the pan, allowing the unset eggs to flow to the bottom. When the eggs are fully cooked, gently stir the other ingredients back into the eggs. Be careful not to break the eggs up to much as you don't them to completely disappear.
Note: The eggs may be "scrambled" in a separate pan and then folded into the hominy, potato and tomato mixture
Lowfat vegetarian sausage patties or links may be precooked, crumbled, and added to the mixture.

Pan-Fried Potatoes
3-5 potatoes
lots of butter
salt, seasoned salt, pepper
Peel potatoes, put whole potatoes in large saucepan with water to cover. Add salt to water for cooking. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are cooked but firm (about 20 minutes?). Rinse with cold water, drain and let cool completely. Slice cold potatoes about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Melt butter in frying pan (for crispier potatoes, don't use non-stick) over medium - medium-high heat. Add potato slices and pan-fry until desired crispness, flipping occasionally to coat with butter. Add seasoned salt and pepper to taste. (You may need to add more butter if the potatoes start sticking -- they soak up a lot. I usually end up going through about 1/4 lb butter for these, but I _love_ buttered potatoes.)

Potato Chips (Microwave)
1 potato, thinly sliced (peel or don't peel)
Spray a dinner plate with Pam. Place potato slices on plate in a single row. Microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes. Turn slices over and continue to microwave on high another 3 to 5 minutes. Potatoes are done when they are lightly browned - if they aren't browned, they won't get crisp. This may take longer depending on your microwave's wattage but you will be safe with the initial 4 minutes of cooking. You need to watch them carefully after that. Now comes the hard part <g>. Remove from plate and toss in a bowl with salt or seasoning of your choice and let cool! It is important to let them cool so they can crisp up.
Potato-Leek Hash
2 cups leek rings (1/4 inch), about 3 leeks
3 tablespoons duck fat or butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 each large yukon gold potatoes, peeled and 1/4 inch dice
1/4 cup chopped chervil
Salt and black pepper to taste
In a hot skillet, coat with 1 tablespoon of fat and sautee leeks until soft, about 6 minutes. Season. Deglaze with white wine and completely reduce. Set leeks aside, wipe out pan and heat again. Add remaining fat and sear potatoes brown, about 10 minutes. Add back the leeks and chervil. Move around quickly to heat thoroughly. Check for seasoning.
