AMW Cooks: When Potatoes Seem Boring For You

Forgive me for the title, I just can't seem to name my "potato" dishes anymore as I cooked so many potato dishes for the past months!  Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to turn my family into Potatoes but it's just that, we love potatoes and we have loads of them back home and I need to cook them all in various ways!  It doesn't hurt that toddler Kyle loves potatoes so much so this momma will do anything to make her son happy!

Happy Toddler= Happy Mommy = Happy Daddy! 

The dish turned out really well especially the sauce!  It was just an invention and the family loved it so much now I'm wondering if I can re-do the sauce! :P  Any fellow cooks out there have the same problem?

AMW Cooks: Hashed Corned Beef and Potatoes Pattie (Ver 2)

Remember this recipe?
Well, I've done it again, this time, potatoes sliced differently, lesser ingredients so it's quicker and faster for moms-on-the-go.  Or shall I say, moms who don't feel like staying in the kitchen so long because of the CRAZY weather!

As much as I don't want to repeat this recipe, when I posted this on IG, several of the followers asked for this recipe so I may as well type it once again!  And yes, just to prove you can go crazy in the kitchen and your family will still love it!

AMW Cooks: Potato Croquettes with Corn

Hi and welcome to my cooking portion!  I am so happy some of you are interested with my simple home-cooked meals!  They are boring, I may have to tell you in advance as I don't include much seafood in any of my recipe because...I am allergic to it! 

So recently, I am really into potatoes and corn combo!  Thankfully, the household love this combination as well so I've decided to create my own "Potato Croquettes" as side dish, since I got leftover corn kernels from recent cooking, I've decided to add in for some extra crunch and sweetness.  Feel free to change the ingredients to ham, bacon or just leave it to plain potato croquettes!

AMW Cooks: Potato Fritters with Corn Bits

When I told my husband about my favorite "snack" back in the suburbs of China when I used to teach there (in Lin'an Hangzhou City), I can't seem to explain it to him well and he can't seem to understand what I was trying to say.

So after thinking the recipe in my brain for years, I've finally mustered the courage to give it a try and you know what?  It was a success!  My husband and son loves it so much and I hope YOU and your family will too!  

I coined this dish Potato Fritters with Corn Bits because the mixture of potato and corn was actually just my "McGyver" moment.  In China, they serve this in HUGE size (for sharing), the size is as big as your plate and you need to use your hands to tear off your portion.  You can choose between potato or corn!   Since I don't want my husband to choose, I mixed both ingredients together and it worked just as good!  This can be served together with you favorite breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner!

I apologize if I do not have step-by-step photos on this dish!  This is a bit messy to work with so I can't grab my camera or phone in between!  I'll try to explain it as clearly as I can for you to get the picture!

AMW Cooks: Breaded Pork Chop with a Twist

You know when your husband specifically requested for "Chicken Cordon Bleu" but you don't have any chicken breasts at home?

Well, as I sneaked into my fridge, I spied almost a kilo of pork loin so I sliced into into small "Pork Chops" size, grabbed some bacon and potatoes.  YES POTATOES!

Here's the result of my Breaded Pork Chop with a Twist!



Ingredients:

• Pork loin sliced thinly.
• Bacon
• 1 large potato (grated)
• Bread Crumbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Egg
• Garlic

AMW Cooks: Hashed Corned Beef Pattie

Have you encountered a "Eureka!" Kitchen moment then you realized you don't have enough ingredients to be experimental and brave?

Well, it was exactly that moment earlier this week when I plan to do something nice for the family!  Then when I looked into the fridge, I only have 1/4 of a ground pork left with a couple of pieces of potatoes!  What should I do?

I made breakfast for dinner!  I even posted this photo on Instagram and have followers guess on the list of ingredients!  It was actually a fun guessing game because it may look like just a regular Corned Beef with Potatoes but there's more to what is visible to the naked eye!  hahaha!  Are you realy for the list of ingredients? 

Ingredients:

• Diced Potatoes
• 1 can of Corned Beef (I used PureFoods)
• 1/4 ground pork
• Onion
• Sliced mushrooms
• Salt, pepper and soy sauce to taste
• All-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
