–blatantly adapted from the original soundtrack of Lion King

It is said that Dog is Man’s Best Friend! In lieu of that I would say that Potatoes are (Wo)Man’s Best Vegetable. Sudden Guest? Elaborate Parties? Craving? – Potatoes, Potatoes and some more! The situation being so, this round up is going to be an excellent opportunity to spoil ourselves a tad bit(!)more The array that’s coming up is an fitting (bl)end to the Potato Fe(a)st. Curtains lifting – Ready …Steady..Potato….

1)Siri @ Siri Corner

3 words surmises this person – Bubbly, Jumpy and Enthu. In short – A Best Pal! I got the mail the very next day of announcing the event. That’s QUICK. Siri with her Potato Pulav promises to tickle our taste buds with the minimum effort possible! That’s all the key words in place..!

2)ISG @ Indosungod

Mushy boiled Potatoes mixed with herbs and cheese, stuffed in warm tortillas, oozed with sauce and more cheese. Heaven! Are you still reading this ? Hop over to ISG’s Potato and Cheese Enchilada and then don’t blame me for getting hungry! But then I can guarantee that you sure will

3)Kalva @ Curry In Kadai

Potatoes nestled comfortably in a gravy of Tomatoes, Peas and Cream. That’s one sin, I am ready to commit to without any guilt And if the Aloo Mutter by itself is not enough, Kalva had to go and post a total drool worthy picture to compliment her recipe! Her innovative talents has never ceased to amaze me! I still haven’t gotten over her Noodle Jigglers.

4)Uma @ Essence Of Andhra

There is something with the combination of Spinach and Potatoes. They compliment each other so well.What better way to spend an evening with your legs on the sofa and Potato Pancakes in a plate! Uma made me totally destitute for these yummy looking Pancakes

5) Ramya @ Ramya’s Kitchen Corner

The minute you step into her world, you will see a very cute girl standing next to a m/w. A true Cook’s prologue . I have never for the life of me imagined a combination of brinjal and potatoes. But then one look at her Brinjal and Potato Fry, I knew I had to try! It luks delicious.

6)Dhivya @ Dhivya’s Kitchen

It was amazing to get to know another namesake with the same spelling! I have always been a Cutlet lover and Dhivya’s Bread potato Cutlet made it only profound. Her snap made me drool! practically!

7) Divya @ Divya Dil Se

Potato Fry was a common sight at my home during the weekends. I have wonderful memories of this dish along with onion sambar! Divya’s recipe is as simple as it gets and the pic made me go back to my potato-samber rice combo days!

Kalai @ Samaithu Parkalam

A quick inspiration, that aspiring moment of creativity resulting in a beautiful dish brings such an immensely satisfying beam on our faces. And it was exactly such a moment for Kalai when she came out with this Oven Baked Potato and Bell Pepper Poriyal. Hop over to her blog to see the recipe
which prompted her husband to ask her if she was going to blog this! I am glad she did

9) MS @ Food Travails

Potatoes by themselves are such a delight on our palate. But if thats not enough MS sent in the stuffed potatoes and her Bharwa Aloo with raisins added only added to the appeal that potatoes enjoy world over !

10)TBC @ Budding Cook

She got it bang on when she mused about warming ourselves with a bowl of piping hot soup on a cold day. Seeing her pic of Potato and Leek Soup sure made me so warm that I started sweating – sweating in my mouth

11)Seema @ My Randap

This one made me sing – no wonder its called Batata Song! A beautiful combo of tamarind,onions and potato – konkani style is sure to make you hum a delicious tune

12)Nirmala @ Amma’s Special

I am a lover of spices and try to involve as many of them as I can in a dish but never ever did I think of using amchoor in my potato dish. Nirmala’s Oven Baked Potatoes With Amchur Powder was sure enlightening to me. A must try.

13) Bee & Jai @ Jugalbandi

hehehehehe! Sorry! I jus read that romantic verse of Bee once more and could help that mirth from escaping my wide lips. Have you ever wondered if you could perfect ‘perfection’? U think I am nuts dont you? U wont if you hop over to watch their ‘Jugalbandi’. When I think of them, I think Perfection and their Phyllo Recliners is just one small example of the same. That sure got the Potatoes off my couch cos I took the whole space all by myself eating their delicious cups!

14) Bhags @ Crazy Curry

Her post made me say ‘Never ending affair’ too with Potatoes. And I sure was totally Luv struck when I saw her Hash browns. They not only look dainty, they are simple to make too and this is one Bowl of love you sure can make for your special someone

15) Sreelu @ Sreelu’s Tasty Travels

Stuffed Parathas are all time favourites for almost everyone and esp the ones filled with potato then you know you just cant stop at one! Sreelu’s Aloo Parathas will make even the non lovers try the luscious indian fav.

16) Deepa @ Recipes and More

Deepa was sure right when she she asked if there could be anyone in existance who wouldnt like Poori and I would go further and ask if there is anyone to contest the all around appeal that a Poori and Potato Curry combo brings. Nothing like it at all! Her pic makes it only more appealing.

17) Vijaya @ Daily Meals

Her Potato Curry with Green Chilly Paste was an instant hit when I made it few days back. Simple, delicious and I felt that it went so well with my Kashmiri roti. This is a must try for those who luv their food spicy and hot

18) Shilpa @ Aayi’s Recipes

One of the must-do’s when I visit North India would be to feast myself with street foods to heart content. One cannot go there and miss all those delicious Bhel puri’s, pani puris and of course Vada Pav. Her’s sure made me go all the way back to indian streets. Another one of those authentic ‘must try’ recipes.

19) Zlamushka @ Burnt Mouth

Zlamushka! I jus love saying her name as many times as possible! Her Mashed Potato Patties would probably tempt you to make that recipe as many times as possible too! Her combo of potatoes and unique vegetables like parsnips and brussel sprouts sure makes this one healthy and creative meal.

20) Seena @ Simple and Delicious

One of the boons of this event was that I learnt that the combinations of spices one can come up with Potatoes are simply innumerable. So is Seena’s Potato Pepper Masala . Dunno why, I never thought of this one before and it was something that I had to try pronto! boy! was I glad I tried the recipe – I jus loved it and it sure helped to lessen my cold by eating my fav food. Thanks Seena

21) Lisa @ Food and Spice

I side with Lisa 200% when she told me that one cant go wrong with her classic Aloo Gobi recipe. Cos once you see that colorful pic by the side one cant help but agree with her. Thats one delicious plateful of heaven and if thats not enough she went on to suggest the complete menu which am sure complimented the dish so well. Want to know the Menu? Jus visit her site and you are in for some vegetreasures!

22) Eskay @ Bon Vivant’s Chow Chronicles

This is another one of the recipes which used a wonderful combo of spices with Potato. I have used Kasoori methi only sparingly in my dishes but eskay’s Fenugreeke’d Potatoes highlighted its use in a remarkable manner making it another one of those ‘must try’ recipes.

23) Kevin @ Closet Cooking

Kevin said Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and I was already sold to the recipe even before reading it! All the right key words in place and when you actually get along to see what the recipe has to offer, you cant help but drool.

24) Vanamala @ Nalapaka

I got so excited at her Cheesy Potato pops that I made them right away. It was simply perfect except for one main problem which she failed to mention in her blog – These are highly addictive. I made 5 thinking of having 1 and the rest for my better half (sweet me ). The end result was I ended up having all the 5:-( and had to make some for him next day (with him watching over me of course! hmph!) Also had to slog additional 15min at gym! But hey forget all that and take a print out and keep this in your folder will you!

25) Aparna @ My Diverse Kitchen

This is another one of the party specials – a total eye catcher. Her Spiced Baby potatoes with seasame seeds has a beautiful blend of both black and white seasame seeds with touch of other aromatic spices. An out and out crowd pleaser.

……..Hey you actually thought that the feast was over did you? Knowing my penchant for jabbering away to glory, you should have been smart enough to know there’s more to come Hold out cos the feast is to continue in Part 2
