potato scones
tried a new recipe today...errr...that is, i didn't really follow it, but i
got about the same result. it was in some allergy cookbook, so i got the gist of it from there, and did the rest by improv. steamed & mashed some potatoes, added flour, some earth balance, and some steam-fried green onion, bit o' pepper & salt, mixed it all really well until it turned into a dough, then made little patties and fried them up in a bit of earth balance. the result was really delicious - not at all healthy, but definitely the kind of thing i can cook for my grease-lovin' family. might be good with some garlic added to the onion while steam-frying. ps, the recipe used olive oil instead of e.b., and chives instead of onions. and those were called scones, although what i ended up with reminded me of these potato pancakes i had when i was younger. mmm...they'd be good with a dab of sour supreme on them, but i found that fresh out of the pan, they had a very nice delicate flavour all by themselves. |

They do sound yummy, will try them myself. Bet they would be nice with mashed up sweet potato too. What is earth balance, some sort of cooking oil? Tracey |

Ah, so that's what it is - sounds good. I've never tried any vegan margarines - I'm not actually vegan but vegetarian, but do cook a lot of vegan meals. I've tried soya milk which I don't like at all, but the soya yoghurts and desserts I've tried I actually prefer to the dairy ones. I'd like to try the dairy-free cheese to see what that's like. Maybe vegan cheese would be good in your potato scone recipe? Tracey |

Hydrogenated oils raise bad cholesterol levels and lower good cholesterol levels. "Steam Fried" is a cooking technique to "fry" food without using oil. Once a frying pan is hot enough tiny amounts of water fed into the pan to keep the food from burning/sticking while the food is stirred rapidly.
