HEAVENLY POTATO CUSTARD

Steps:

• In a saucepan, boil potatoes until almost tender. Drain and pat dry. Arrange a layer of potatoes over the bottom of a buttered 13x9 baking dish or one of its equivalent. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter. Continue to layer until all potaotes are used. Combine the half and half and eggs and beat well. Pour over the potatoes. Bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes or until potaotes are tender and the custard is just set but still soft. Garnish with the nutmeg and parsley.

COLETTE'S WHITE CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 2 (8 or 9)-inch round pans. Sift together the flours and baking powder.
• Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixer bowl until fluffy. Add the salt and vanilla and mix well. Add the eggs, scraping the sides of the bowl, and mix until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches alternating with the milk, mixing after each addition and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for 15 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the racks and remove the pans. Let the cakes cool completely. Wrap and refrigerate before decorating.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• To make the sponge, mix the yeast with the warm water until the yeast is dissolved. Add the light corn syrup to the yeast and water. Mix in the bread flour until there are no lumps in the mixture. Let the mixture rest until a thick surface forms and it is light and spongy.
• Boil the potatoes as you would to make mashed potatoes, drain, mash them, and place them in a mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the milk and yeast, and mix until the yeast is dissolved.
• Place the wheat and bread flour in the mixing bowl, add the salt, honey, and milk mixture, and using a dough hook, mix for 2 minutes on low speed until ingredients have combined. Add the sponge to the mixture and mix on medium speed for 8 minutes.
• Once the dough is mixed, let it rest for 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, cut the dough into 2 equal parts, roll into balls, and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Take the dough balls, and shape them into 16-inch long bread loaves. Brush on a light coating of egg wash on top of each loaf, place the loaves on a baking sheet, and bake them for 35 to 45 minutes.

EDELWEISS WHITE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with some butter.
• Mix 1/4 cup of the milk, the sour cream, almond extract, vanilla extract and egg whites in a bowl and blend thoroughly.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter gradually, beating for at least 2 minutes on low speed. Add the wet ingredient mixture and beat for 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk and blend until smooth on medium speed.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature and then decorate with the Black Sheep Crusting Buttercream.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the shortening, coffee creamer and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually mix in the confectioner's sugar, scraping down the sides as you go. Set the mixer to medium speed and add water, a little bit at a time, until you achieve the correct consistency.

PARIS-BREST CUSTARD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a large piece of parchment paper, trace a circle 10 inches in diameter. Use this parchment paper to line a baking sheet, pencil side down (you should still be able to see the circle). In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, salt, and granulated sugar to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, immediately take the pan off the heat. Stirring with a wooden spoon, add all the flour at once and stir hard until all the flour is incorporated, 30 to 60 seconds. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, 30 seconds to evaporate some of the moisture.
• Scrape the mixture into a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer). Mix at medium speed. With the mixer running and, working 1 egg at a time, add 3 of the eggs, stopping after each addition to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix until the dough is smooth and glossy and the eggs are completely incorporated. The dough should be thick, but should fall slowly and steadily from the beaters when you lift them out of the bowl. If the dough is still clinging to the beaters, add 1 more egg and mix until incorporated.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip and using the pencil line as a guide, pipe the dough onto baking sheet in a ring. Pipe a second ring around the first one, hugging it so the 2 rings touch closely all the way around. Pipe a third circle, using up all the remaining dough, on the crack between the first 2 rings so that all 3 rings touch closely, forming 1 big ring with 3 parts.
• Whisk the remaining egg with the water. Brush the surface of the dough with the egg wash (do not use all of it). Sprinkle the almonds over the surface. Bake 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake until puffed up and light golden brown, about 25 minutes more. Try not to open the oven door too often during the baking. Let cool on the baking sheet. The recipe can be made up to this point up to 24 hours in advance. Hold at room temperature, lightly covered with aluminum foil.
• Custard: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla bean to a boil over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cornstarch and whisk vigorously until no lumps remain. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture until incorporated. Whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture, reserving the empty saucepan.
• Pour the mixture through a strainer back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and slowly boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Let cool slightly. Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the plastic against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. The custard can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Refrigerate until 1 hour before using.
• Whipped Cream: When ready to serve, whip the cream and brown sugar until stiff.
• Using a long serrated knife, cut the pastry ring in half horizontally. Set the top half aside. Using a clean pastry bag, pipe the custard filling onto the bottom half. Pipe the whipped cream on top of the custard. Place the top half of the pastry lightly on the whipped cream, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve, cut into sections.
