27 Jun Potato Wraps

This wrap recipe pairs new potatoes with some of the fresh sweet onions from the farm.  It makes a flavorful wrap that after cooking in the oven is pliable enough to use for breakfast burritos, delicious soft-shell tacos, or as a fantastic base for a smash burger.  You can even use two wraps and make grilled cheese or quesadillas!

Potato Wraps

Ingredients:
4 cups shredded potatoes
1 tsp sea salt, divided
2 eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour (you can also use a gluten free blend)
¼ cup finely shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend work great)
¼ cup parmesan cheese
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp paprika
1 fresh sweet onion (bulb only), really finely chopped

• Place shredded potatoes and ½ tsp salt into a colander. Mix well to coat the potatoes.  Allow them to sit for 45 minutes to an hour.  Liquid will drain from the potatoes so place a plate or bowl under the colander to catch it.
• Press the potatoes down to remove as much liquid as possible. Then transfer to a cheese cloth or nut milk bag.  Squeeze to remove any remaining liquid.  You should be left with about 2-2 ½ cups of potatoes.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Set aside.

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, remaining ½ tsp salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, and onions. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.  Then add the flour mixture.  Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
• Preheat the oven to 425°
• Divide the mixture into ½ cup portions. You should get either 4 or 5 portions.
• Line two sheet pans with parchment paper and then spray with cooking oil.

• Roll out each portion of mixture between two sheets of wax paper. You can also use a tortilla press.  You want the dough to be about ¼ of an inch thick.  Remove the top sheet of wax paper and flip the wrap onto the sheet pan.  Do this for each portion of dough.

• Cook the wraps for 15-18 minutes. The wraps should be lightly browned when done.

• You can serve immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for a few days. The wraps can also be frozen by placing between wax paper in a large Ziplock bag.

19 Aug Caramelized Onion Dip with Air Fried Potato Chips

When sweet onions made an appearance in our shares last week, I knew that I wanted to showcase them in a new recipe.  This snack is well worth the time it takes to caramelize these delicious onions and I highly recommend making homemade chips if you have the time.  This onion dip is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Caramelized Onion Dip

Ingredients:
3 sweet onions
3 Tbsp butter (can sub avocado or olive oil)
2 cups (16 oz) sour cream (can sub plain yogurt)
¾ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp fresh herbs, finely chopped (parsley, chives, thyme, etc.)

• Peel skins of onion and thinly slice into rounds. I used a mandolin for this (set on 3/16 inch setting).
• Heat butter in large skillet on medium heat.
• Once butter is melted, add sliced onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes until onions are softened.  You will need to continually mix throughout these few minutes so that the onions evenly cook.

• Turn the heat to low and cook for 40 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes.
• After 40 minutes, the onions should be brown and caramelized.

• Remove from heat and allow to cool a little bit.  Then chop into small pieces.
• In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder and fresh herbs. Mix to combine.
• Fold chopped, caramelized onions into sour cream mixture until evenly combined.
• Serve with chips, crackers, or raw vegetables (snap peas, cherry tomatoes, peppers, carrots, etc.). You can also make your own chips.  See recipe below for air fried potato chips.
• Store leftover dip in refrigerator.

Air Fried Potato Chips:

Scrub potatoes.  Leave skins on and use mandolin to thinly slice.  I recommend slicing to about 1/8 inch thick.  Soak potato slices in cold water for 15-20 minutes.  Drain in colander and dry slices on paper towels.  Spray the slices with either avocado or olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.  Lay in a single layer in your air fryer.  Set air fryer to 370°F and cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time.  Chips should be crispy and slightly browned when done.  Cool on a paper towel lined plate.
