Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips
4 medium potatoes (russet, yellow gold, or red potatoes)
your choice spices or herbs (granulated garlic powder, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, dried dill weed)
olive oil, for microwave tray, plate
If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, 1/16" in thickness, slicing across the potato.
If the potatoes are new or good skins, DO NOT PEEL, just scrub well, then slice them 1/16" in thickness, slicing across the potato.
Sprinkle with your choice of spices or herbs or just leave them plain.
If you have a microwave bacon tray, place the sliced potatoes flat on the tray in a single layer.
Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 7 to 8 minutes.
Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on the wattage of your microwave.
You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over.
If you do not have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole dish.
Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first batch of potato chips.
I do not know why, but I find that if you do not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the dish.
After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish again.
Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as noted above.
NOTE: You can also use PARCHMENT PAPER to place your potato slices. Place your potato slices, then sprinkle them with whatever you like and then place another piece of parchment paper on top. This will help microwave the potatoes more evenly and they should turn out nice and crisp.
ADDITIONAL IDEAS, suggested by Deb K:.
Granulated garlic powder with parsley.
Cracked black pepper, grated parmesan and sea salt sprinkled after removing from microwave.
Another, after removing chips from microwave, sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, zap for a few seconds to melt the cheese, then add a dab of sour cream.
A great dip is Robert Rothschild Farm Dips:.
Emerald Isle Onion Dill and Horseradsih Dip.

For something sweet
EASY TURNOVERS
1/4 lb. cream cheese
1/4 lb. butter
1 cup flour
filling of your choice
Filling suggestions: Apple Pie Filling, Lemon Curd or Lemon Pie Filling, Rasberry Jam, Strawberry Jam, Blueberry Pie Filling, Cream Cheese/Farmer's Cheese and Pineapple, etc.
Cream the cheese and butter together well. Stir in flour until mixed to a smooth dough. Chill dough for at least 45 minutes.
Thinly roll out on a surface which has been lightly dusted with flour and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
Place small portions of filling in the center of each circle. Turn over and crimp together the edges with a fork, sealing well. Make several slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape.
If desired, brush with cream or a glaze made from 1 egg yolk mixed with 2 tablespoons water to add shine.
Bake at 375°F until light brown.

Stove Top Mac-n-Cheese
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
6 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.
Another good recipe.......
Cheese Puffs
1 cup milk
1/4-pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup grated Gruyere, plus extra for sprinkling
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over medium heat, until scalded. Add the flour all at once and beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan. Dump the hot mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Immediately add the eggs, Gruyere, and Parmesan and pulse until the eggs are incorporated and the dough is smooth and thick.
Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Pipe in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4-inch high onto the baking sheets. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyere. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown outside but still soft inside.
Another one..........
Grown Up Ham and Cheese Finger Sandwiches
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
8 slices thin white bread, recommended: Pepperidge Farm
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large or 2 small green apples
4 to 6 ounces aged Gouda
1 tablespoon Dijon or whole grain mustard, apple butter or chutney
1/2 bunch watercress
8 thin slices prosciutto
Freshly cracked black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring water, vinegar and brown sugar to a boil. Add the onions and remove from the heat. Cover, and set aside until the onions come to room temperature.
Trim the crusts off the bread and cut the bread into thirds, for 3 rectangles per piece. Lightly brush both sides of the bread pieces with olive oil and lay out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until just crisp and lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Cool.
To assemble: Quarter, core, and very thinly slice the apple, (a mandolin is terrific for this). Very thinly slice the cheese into triangles or shards that will fit nicely on the bread.
Place a dab or smear of mustard on the bread. Place a piece of apple, cheese and 1 or 2 sprigs of watercress on each piece of toasted bread. Wrap a small piece of prosciutto around each stack to make a neat package. Top with a little bit of the pickled onions, a drizzle of olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve at room temperature.
Do ahead tips: Toast the bread ahead, and thinly slice the apple, placing them in lemon water to prevent them from turning brown. If you need to assemble the sandwiches ahead, don't add the watercress, and cover them with a very light moistened paper towel.
