To really make this dish become the surprise hit at the dinner table, add some minced garlic.
- 1 1/2 lbs. red skinned baby potatoes
- sea salt
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley (flat leaf is best)
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
Heat the grill on medium high. Firstly, fill a pot with the potatoes and cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender (12-14 minutes). Drain and cool slightly.
Cut the potatoes in half and toss with 1 tbsp. olive oil , coating all the surfaces. Whisk together the remaining oil and garlic. Grill the potatoes directly on the grates, turning to get grill marks on the potatoes, cooking until they become crisp. (2-3 minutes in total).
Remove from the grill and toss with the remaining oil, minced garlic and adding the chopped parsley.
These are really a delightful ‘gift’ to the dinner. Enjoy!
Best Ever Meatloaf
Every cook has their own recipe but I have never tasted one better than this. Probably because when I made it, I made a mistake and it became truly “the best”.
- 1/2 can tomato soup
- 3 lbs. lean hamburger
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp. of oil
- 1/2 onion
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, cut up
- 1 clove minced garlic
- balance of tomato soup mixed with 1/3 cup of water
Mix together the first 9 ingredients and mold into a prepared loaf pan. Pour the soup/water mixture over the top.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Make a mushroom gravy to serve with this.
