Hi everyone,


I thought I should share my lazy recipe for moments when I don't feel like cooking but yet, wants to eat home cook.

Potato pie is a recipe which I've created and is basically fool-proof. Serve 2 pax

Ingredients:
2 Potatoes (peel and cut into cubes, put to boil)
80ml milk
1tbps butter
150g of meat (can be chicken, pork, mutton or beef)
2 tsb of soya sauce (marinate with the meat)
1 tsb of pepper (marinate with the meat)
1 cup of mix vegetables
1 whole white onion, diced (I love onions but amount may be reduced to your own preference)
Egg Yolk for brushing

Methods:
Preheat oven at 180 degree.

Using 1tbsp oil, pan fry the diced onions. Once fragrant, put in marinated meat and fry till cooked. (black pepper may be added for more pepper-ish taste). Throw in the mix vegetable and fry till oil coats vegetable. Remove from pan and lay the fried mixture onto the base of a oven safe glass dish (this can be those disposable aluminum loaf pan). Around 6\".

Once potatoes are cooked (using fork and poke into the potatoes. When cooked, fork should be easy to pull out and the potato pieces should break when poke into).

Drain the potatoes and mash them up with milk and butter. Once mash until a smooth texture, lay it on top of the meat. Brush a layer of egg york over the potatoes. Using a fork and slightly press the top to form patterns.

Put into oven to bake for 15mins.

Once the top is slightly brown, it's done. *Ting!*

KopiYing, I've got an Electrolux one which costs us less than 60 bucks. Simple two knob thingy - grill/toast and temp; then one for time. Comes with a tray. I like it coz it's able to toast my stuffed mushrooms in 20 minutes flat and I don't have to wait for the oven to be heated like in the conventional kind.

Another brand that I would recommend is Philips. We are into our second unit. Its squarish interior allows me to grill 2 big chicken thigh simultaneously or a medium size pizza. Its same as the Electrolux design, with a crumbs tray, one knob for temp and one for time. Price also about the same as Electrolux.

That’s great! Hopefully I can finish my assignments asap then go town take a lot at these brands.

Recently learned a great tip for cooking fries without frying them.


Peeled and cut up potato into strips or wedges. Dry well with kitchen towel.
Whisk 2 egg whites with pepper/curry powder/5 spice powder and a tablespoon of veg oil.
coat cut potato with the mix and bake in hot (200 degrees C) oven for 12 to 20 mins (depending on the size of the wedges) and yummy fries without the oil.

Serve with a lower calories dip: Whisk low fat/no fat greek yoghut, finely chopped spring onions/chives, squeeze of lemon/lime. If you like it spicy, add a dash of chilli powder/mexican spice/cajun spice.
