Cheezy Oven Baked Hashbrowns

Being married to a potato farmer, I could say I cook lots of potatoes, but that's not always true. I do love to experiment with potaotes though. Here's a fun new recipe I made (no exact measurements yet): Saute green onions and garlic in olive oil or butter. Grate potatoes into hashbrowns. Squeeze out exess water from hashbrowns. Mix into potatoes: onion-garlic mixture, finely cubed ham (or cooked bacon), sharp cheddar cheese, soft butter, garlic salt, pepper, and chili powder. I used my mini fluted bunt mold. I filled each mold and then sprinkled parmasean cheese and paprika on top. You could also use a silpat. When using a silpat, take a scoop and shape it into a round patty. Place on Demarle silpat. Bake @ 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes in mini mold. If using a silpat bake for 20 minutes and flip over. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. These were oh so yummy!

Peach-Raspberry Pie

I made my first pie using demarle products. I didn't have quite enough peaches so I replaced about 1/4 of the total amount of peaches with raspberries. It turned out beautiful don't you think? My husband loved it and said I should enter it in our local city picnic next summer. I used the flower mold, but have since purchased the pie molds. Just received the molds this week and can't wait to use them!!!

Parmesan Chicken with Harvest Veggies

This is a terrific meal to make at the peak of harvest season. The Parmesan chicken can be made on the silpat. The harvest veggies I made in my large round mold with the octagon silpat to cover the top. The veggies I used were cherry tomatoes, zucchini squash, and sweet corn cut off the cob. You simply place the veggies in the round mold, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. I also used some fresh herbs out of my garden. The veggies were so delicious and so easy to make! This is one of the reasons I love Demarle so very much!!!
