LATHERA RECIPE ========= Ingredients: ------------ 4-5 medium size zuccini, cut in 1/4 in. disks 3-4 medium potatoes, cut in 1/4 in. disks 1-2 medium onions, sliced in thick rings 1-2 medium tomatoes, sliced in 1/4 in. disks 6-7 cloves garlic, peeled and whole 1/2 cup olive oil (or any other oil) 1/2 cup chopped parsley 2 tblsp oregano (save for the end!) salt and pepper Instructions: ------------- Arrange in loose layers in the baking tray. Try and keep the onion rings at the bottom of the pan, they get nice and crispy, and the tomatoes go at the top of the assembly, to let the juices drain down onto the veggoes. Bake for about 1 hour, at medium oven. The oregano should be added a few minutes before taking the tray out of the oven - burnt oregano loses its flavour, and has a bitter taste. Allow to cool before eating. From: doussis@convex1.tcs.tulane.edu (Evangelos Doussis)

SWEET POTATOES WITH GRAPEFRUIT ============================== Ingredients: ------------ 1 3/4 lb sweet potatoes 1 large grapefruit 3 tblsp unsalted butter 1/3 cup (firmly packed) light brown sugar 1/4 tsp salt 2 eggs, well beaten Instructions: ------------- Preheat oven to 375F. Put the potatoes, unpeeled, in a large saucepan and cover with water. With a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, peel the yellow zest from the grapefruit and put it in with the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are just fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, with a long-pronged fork or tongs, dip the grapefruit into the boiling potato water and blanch, turning constantly, for 30 seconds. Rinse the grapefruit briefly under cold running water to cool and peel off the white pith. Section the grapefruit and peel off the membranes over a bowl to catch the juice. Reserve all the juice and pulp; discard any seeds. When the sweet potatoes are done...

SLICED AND SPICY POTATOES ========================= Ingredients + Instructions: --------------------------- Enough potatoes for 4 persons, and then 2 for luck. Scrub but don't peel. Slice thickly, approx half inch thick. Lay onto the oven tray, but make sure both sides have a little grease on them otherwise they will stick to the tray. You may need to add a little more oil (I use chili oil, but that may be a little hot for The Parents). Keep an eye on these little suckers, as they will cook pretty quickly. The idea is that they will bubble up towards the end, and you will need to turn them over to get them all toasty on the other side as well. Sprinkle the potatoes and the chicken (make sure you turn them over at some stage in the cooking as well, but they should end up skin side up to make sure the skin doesn't get soggy) with the spice mix throughout the cooking time, to get the flavour through. In the meantime, prepare a simple tossed salad with a simple...

Bake at 350 until the potatoes are well browned. I've made a vegetarian version with just mushrooms, onions, broccoli and carrots. I usually use the Knorr Pepper Sauce mix for the gravy. It has a nice kick. From: vickiemc@ISI.EDU (Vickie McCorkendale)

Instructions: ------------- Wash, peel and slice the potatoes thinly. In lightly salted, rolling boiling water, cook for 5 mins. (sorry about the sentence stucture- I'm translating this from German- this is an authentic Austrian recipe...) Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a sieve. Take the Marjoram from the stalks, and chop finely. Mix salt, pepper and marjoram with the egg yolks and cream. Grease a casserole dish, and place hal...
