THE BEST MASHED POTATOES
This is our go-to recipe for classic mashed potatoes, made with plenty of butter and cream. To make them fluffy and flavorful, be sure to simmer them slowly and add plenty of salt to the cooking water. And don't skip the step of steaming the excess water off; leaving too much moisture in the potatoes causes them to be loose and gluey.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
- Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
- In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

DAVID'S AWESOME POTATOES
With this dish you can use any kind of potato you wish. Like I said earlier I find that any of the Klondike potatoes keep much longer than any others. There is no wrong way to make this dish. IF you like you can use butter instead of oil, but if you do watch for burning. You want ot brown/caramelize the potatoes and onions, the potatoes need to be crispy. Oh and as with anything bacon goes well with this ;) Bon Appetite!

Steps:
- I cut up my potatoes different ways just depends on how I feel. Normally I leave the skin on. I like both red potatoes and Klondike's. I'm liking the Klondike's more since they've got a much longer shelf life. So after washing the potatoes, either slice or cut up into 1" square or so pieces. Don't worry about cutting to uniform pieces, it's all good!
- In a large frying pan put 1-2 or so tablespoons of canola oil bring to a hot temperature (you will see dimples in the oil when it's hot enough) the put the potatoes in. You want to brown the potatoes and make them kind of crisp on the outsides, yet tender in the middle. Once the potatoes are somewhat browned on all sides add the sliced onions and cook until the onions are also browned or caramelized.
- Now sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Continue to cook for about 5 more minutes.
- DO NOT COOK THIS DISH COVERED!!!!!! IF you do cook this covered it will get soggy and not brown. The browning of the potatoes and the onions is what really makes this dish stand apart from other dishes that are similar.
