6 baking potates (peeled if you like)
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 salt
1 pepper
4 (or more) cloves of garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
Directions
Chop potatoes in food processor (I do not have a food
processor so I grate them on a cheese grater.. this
works WONDERFUL) The food processor tends to
overprocess the potatoes. Combine the potatoes with
milk, eggs, crushed garlic, salt & pepper. Pour the
olive oil into a suitable baking dish and mix the
potato mixture in with it. (make sure the oil is mixed
in well). Bake at 400~ for 40 minutes. The thickness
of the potatoes should be about an inch in the
casserole dish.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, at least as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Kugle recipe.
