I am making a Southern (U.S.) roasted chicken. Southern chicken calls for yams to be the starch. This is one of those dishes that I try to make differently each time I make it. I am still looking for the perfect mashed yam dish.

One of the joys of a St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef and colcannon is having corned beef hash the next day. In New England, they add beets to make it “Red Flannel Hash.” Personally, I think this is gilding the lily and not something a Californian, like myself, would be inclined to do.

I had decided to make an African peanut and sweet potato soup to go with my Asian coleslaw and ham steak. When I told her how I had planned to spice the ham to meld these divergent dishes, her response was a very definite, “No!” She suggested that I make the soup, Hawaiian and make Hawaiian pork to go with it. A quick adjustment of the spicing and the addition of coconut milk met with her satisfaction.

I wanted a starch dish to go with my leek soup. I have always had a problem with making latkes. I never seem to be able to have them cooked through before they are starting to burn. One reason for this is because I try to use as little oil as possible when frying them. My solution is similar to making Venezuelan arepas, first fry and then bake.

I wanted some potatoes to go with my rosemary roasted chicken. When I was at the store I saw these tiny marble-sized potatoes. They were so cute I had to have them. They were also the same size as the pre-peeled Chinese garlic that I buy and it just seemed logical to mix them together.
