Ingredients
1 teaspoon paprika( Spanish smoked, or Hungarian Sweet)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt; more to taste
5 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lb WPF Rose Gold Potatoes (3-4 medium)
freshly ground pepper

Directions
Cut the potatoes in half, then cut them in thick slices lengthwise, 1/2-3/4 wide. Stack the slices and cut them in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise to get 3/4 wide pieces. Heat 4T. of the oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and stir immediately to coat them with the oil. Sprinkle with the 3/4t. salt, and stir again. Fry the potatoes, stirring frequently, until they’re tender in the center and nicely browned on the outside 25-30 minutes. (If the potatoes seem to be browning too fast, reduce the heat to medium or med-low.) Turn off the heat. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and pour the remaining Tbsp. of oil into the empty space in the pan.Stir the paprika into the oil and let sizzle for about 5 seconds. Stir the potatoes into the paprika oil until well coated. Stir in several grinds of pepper. Salt to taste. Serve hot, serves 4-6. From Fine Cooking, March 2006

Ingredients
salt and freshly ground pepper
2 lb potatoes, peeled
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 large yellow onion
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
oil for frying

Directions
Using the large holes of a grater, grate the onion into a bowl. Add lemon juice and eggs, and mix well. Using the same grater, grate the potatoes into the bowl. After each potato is grated, stir to mix well. The lemon juice should keep the potatoes from darkening. When the potatoes are grated, add salt and pepper to taste. Add the baking powder just before frying. Add oil liberally to a heavy skillet (olive oil is best for this). Heat the oil over medium high until it is just below the smoking stage. Use a large soup spoon to drop the potato mixture into the hot oil, about 1/4c. at a time. Flatten the cakes gently with the back of the spoon. Fry on one side until brown and crisp, then turn and fry on the other side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Add a dollop of applesauce and serve. Serves 6-8 From Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Ingredients
1/4 cup Parmesian Cheese
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Sea Salt
3 cup Multi-Colored Potatoes Thinly Sliced
1 Large Ball Mozerella Cheese (Pulled to Shreds)
6 Large Garlic Cloves (Sliced)
2 cup Sweet Onion
1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Rosemary
1/4 cup Olive Oil

1 lb Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Directions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. On a floured surface, shape dough into a rectangle and roll it out slightly. Lift dough onto a well-oiled baking sheet (an 18 by 13 baking sheet works best) and press the dough to fit into all corners of the pan. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1/4 cup rosemary and cook for 1 minute. Add onions and stir to coat. Cook until onions have softened a bit, but are not browned at all (4 to 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook until garlic is softened (2 to 3 minutes). Remove pan from heat, and stir in 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Use a slotted spoon to remove onion, garlic and rosemary mixture from the pan and spread it onto the pizza base to within 1/2-inch of the edge of the base on all sides. Spread shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the onions. Put potatoes into the pan with the oil that remained from cooking onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly with oil and seasoning. Arrange the potatoes over the mozzarella. Bake pizza for 20 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven, sprinkle Parmesan cheese and last tablespoon of rosemary over the top of the pizza. Finishing baking cheese is melted and golden brown (3 to 4 minutes).
