Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Maguire's Hill 16 Irish Potato & Leek Soup


soups/stews, ethnic, irish

4 lb potatoes; peeled and cut into 1/2 c
1 small leek; white and green parts sep
2 quart chicken stock
1/4 cup cornstock
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 salt
2 cup heavy cream
1 quart whole milk
1 shredded cheddar for garnish
1 crumbled, cooked bacon for garnish

In a stock pot, simmer about half the potatoes and the white portion of the leeks in enough chicken stock to cover until tender, about 30 minutes. In another pot cook remaining potatoes in the remaining chicken stock until tender. Puree the potatoes and leeks from the first pot in a food processor or blender. Return to pot over medium heat. Dissolve cornstarch, pepper, and salt in a little of the cream and stir into the pot. When mixture begins to thicken, gradually stir in remaining cream, the milk and the contents of the second pot. Serve hot, topped with a generous portion of cheddar cheese, bacon and chopped green portion of leek.
