    Title: Dutch Potatoes

    The Dutch call it Hutspot which is the root word for the English
    term hodge-podge. Dutch Farmer Bill's mom served some kind of potato
    dish at every lunch and supper. The family grew several acres of
    them for market. She made Hutspot often and sometimes used rutabaga,
    turnip or parsnips instead of carrots. They also grew acres of
    yellow turnips (rutabaga) so that was actually more common than
    carrots in their home.

    It is better tasting with a little meat in it or quite a bit of meat
    if it's the main course and not a side dish. Diced beef or pork stew
    meat, sausage or wiener coins or bacon are all very good in it.

    If you add some kind of cabbage (including kale, brussels sprouts
    and even sauerkraut) it becomes "stamppot".

    2 ts Butter

    Hermina (the mom) generally used lard as they raised and butchered
    their own pigs but didn't have a cow and when I was very young they
    didn't have a lot of money for store bought butter.

    1/4 c Sour cream

    I've never had it with sour cream but that would be good.

    mash

    It should be roughly and coarsely mashed and not completely
    smooth.


    Cheers

    Jim

    ... Pork can take a rutabaga and turn it into food!

    Our Irish friend Helen often served three kinds of potato dish at a
    meal. That sort of heritage helps to understand why the potato famine
    was so serious in Ireland.

    We had Nashville hot chicken fingers once when we were there on a coach
    tour. Quite hot, but very good. Based on what you have said, I suppose
    you might be the only one to eat this :-}}

    Title: Chef John's Nashville Hot Chicken
    Categories: Southern, Chicken, Spicy
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 Whole chicken, cut into
    8 Pieces
    1 tb Kosher salt
    MARINADE:
    1 c Buttermilk
    1/4 c Pickle brine
    2 tb Louisiana style hot sauce
    1 lg Egg
    FLOUR:
    2 c All-purpose flour
    2 ts Fine table salt
    SAUCE:
    1/4 c Butter
    1/4 c Lard
    2 tb Cayenne pepper
    1 tb Packed light brown sugar
    1 ts Paprika
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
    TO FRY:
    1 c Vegetable oil or as needed

    Ultra crispy fried chicken doused with a cayenne infused glaze,
    and by 'glaze' I mean melted butter and lard.

    Toss chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Transfer
    chicken to a bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight.

    Whisk buttermilk, pickle brine, hot sauce, and egg together in a
    mixing bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and stir to ensure each
    piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let chicken marinate in
    refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.

    Mix flour and salt together in a shallow flat dish. Remove chicken
    from marinade and blot with paper towels. Reserve marinade. Toss
    chicken in flour until thoroughly coated. Return chicken to
    marinade, coating all sides; remove chicken from marinade allowing
    excess to drip back into the bowl. Coat the chicken once again in
    flour mixture. Place on a rack. Repeat with all chicken pieces.
    Allow to sit out about 15 minutes to allow coating to dry out a
    bit.

    Place butter and lard in a large pot. Add cayenne pepper, brown
    sugar, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
    Place over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until fats melt. Remove
    from heat; keep sauce warm.

    Fill cast iron skillet about 1/3 of the way with vegetable oil.
    Heat oil to 350 F over medium-high heat. Carefully place chicken
    into hot oil, skin side down. Maintain an oil temperature of 325
    F, adjusting heat as need. Fry until instant read thermometer
    reads 160 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side.

    Transfer chicken to a rack to drain. Brush with the sauce on both
    sides.

    Serve chicken pieces on white bread and brush with the sauce.
    Serve with pickles.
