Baked Potatoes (Bratkartoffeln)

this is easy: put some oil or butter onto your baking tin.
peel some potatoes and cut them into several pieces. place them onto the tin.
spice them up with salt and pepper, not too much.
put them into your oven and grill them. dont forget to move them around while roasting them until the edges become brown.
thats it.



while we in tyrol often eat them as single meal, you can server them with meat too. i prefer chicken, others prefer schnitzel or some eggs. its up to you.
best served with a cold beer/coke.

note: there are several ways to make this. some people cook the potatoes first others bake them with flour. its up to you to vary the recipie

Aah, this thread again!


Since I'm lazy, I'm a huge fan of the simplest potato wedges ever: Simply wash your potatoes, and then quarter them (for bigger potatoes, it's often useful to cut them in smaller pieces, so cut them in sixtenths or whatever). You don't have to peel them (although you might if you can't stand the tase), but wash them thoroughly (and, of course, get rid of any greenish parts or what-have-you, unless you want to die a horrible death).

Place them on a baking tray (don't forget baking paper :P), and then put the whole thing in the pre-heated oven at 200°C or something. Bake them for about thiryty to fourty minutes (kind of depends on your potatoes, their sizes, etc.), put salt on them and enjoy.

Again, this is about the easiest recipe ever, it's very tasty and not loaded with fat like the wedges you buy in a store. It's a win-win-situation!



(I'm a really bad at cooking, which, I assume, can easily be gathered from the above. I still like doing it, and I love threads like this. Please guys continue with this, it'd be awesome to see the favorite recipes from people all over the world )

i think you should at least put some olive oil and for example some sesame on the potatoes before you bake them.

Sesame is a very interesting idea that, I'm sure, would have never occured to me. I really can't imagine the taste, to be honest, but I might just try that one of these days

I am getting hungry

please ive searched a while now for this thread, DONT LET IT DIE...

MILK RICE

cook rice in salty water for 2/3 of its cooking time (depends on stove, rice, your preference

meanwhile, heaten some milk and sugar it. make sure it doesnt flow over...

2) Cook some vanilla pudding with milk and sugar, leave it to cool down.
3) Spread the pudding on the dough.
4) For the streusels (is this an English word?!): Mix some butter, flour and sugar (how much depends on your preferences, f.i. twice as much flour as sugar) and scatter the streusels on the pudding.

Sweet Drumsticks

1 KG Drumsticks (tiny chicken legs)
1 Cup of Sugar
Salt
Pepper
1 Shotglass (1 1/2 oz) of water
1 bouillon cube
1/2 Small cut onion
1-2 Lauren leafs
2 Pinks (Dt.: nelken)
1 Chili
1-2 minced cloves of garlic
a bit of Cinnamon,
a bit of Lemon juice

Fry the drumsticks in a pot (trust me, you'll need a POT, not a pan!) and then add the cup of sugar. Stir a bit and then add salt and pepper and keep stirring until the sugar has evenly caramelized.

Add the water, bouillon cube, onion, laurel, garlic, pinks, cinnamon and chili and keep stirring all the way. Add the lemon juice while stirring (yes, I know, a lot of stirring involved, isn't there?) ( and no, don't run away, the stuff scorches quick and then your batch is ruined) keep stirring on medium heat until the sauce has a syrupy consistence. In doubt add more water and try again until you find your desired consistency.

If you like, you can eat it with fresh(!!!!!!!) Cilantro. Best served with rice topped with a few drops of fishsauce (I'll show you a picture of the correct brand you'll need tomorrow).

If you did everything right, it should look like this:



Unfortunately, I couldn't find real "drumsticks" and used the smallest chicken legs I could find. The problem with big legs is that the flavor doesn't soak in all the way and you'll find yourself having just dull chicken instead of this sweet little piece of heaven that results from this recipe of awesomeness, courtesy of my mother.

My flatmate enjoyed it too:



Next time on "Acknex Cooks 101", Sauce Bolognese for all your spaghetti bolognese dreams.

Happy cooking.
