Oranges and potatoes
9 September 2020 04:23 amMore cooking experiments; I used up some dried-out oranges very successfully by grating the zest and using the few teaspoons of juice I could squeeze out of them in ( orange and cardamom rolls )
In the name of saving flour and yeast, I also tried "Potato Pizza" from Rose Elliott's Cheap and Easy, where the base is simply plain grated potato cooked in a big disc until crisp in a heavy frying-pan, with pizza toppings added under the grill. Like her other recipes, it really did 'just work': the potato didn't stick, it did turn into a tasty base that held together when flipped over, and sliced tomato and grated cheese (with some grated courgette, yellow beetroot and carrot), and sliced garlic on top of the cheese, made a convincing pizza topping.
My only quarrel with the recipe would be her estimate that "two medium potatoes" would make a main course for two -- I had it with a big bowl of cabbage salad, and while the salad was enough for two meals, the pizza struck me as being not over-generous as a main course for one :-p Perhaps it depends on your assessment of 'medium' in terms of potato size.
