Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 3 cups various Michigan Potatoes (mix it up!)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Fondue

  • 1 cup Guinness Beer or your favorite Irish Stout
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
  • 3 cups Irish Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon (optional)

Preparation

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Toss cubed potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
  3. Place potatoes on baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until brown and crispy. Shake the tray several times to check on crispness.
  4. In a medium saucepan, add beer, half and half, flour and mustard powder. Warm the liquid and begin adding the cheese while whisking until melted.
  5. Remove from heat and add black pepper, salt and nutmeg.
  6. Place back on stove and cook while stirring to get a smooth consistency. Add more beer if it is too thick or more cheese if too thin.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot fitted with either a votive candle or sterno.
  8. Top with crumbled cooked bacon and stir. Serve with roasted potatoes. To keep the fondue at its ideal consistency, stir it intermittently.

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.

Batata Harra

These Lebanese spicy potatoes are an obsession! Traditionally deep-fried, we achieve wonderful results roasting the potatoes to a beautiful golden brown. Your choice of potato can vary however your tastes may dictate! I love russet potatoes for this dish for their delicate flavor and fluffy texture. They are also often quite large, which make it easier to peel them and cut even cubes.
