Sorry, Tuesdays mean lots of meetings for me.
I don't really know many recipes, I'm not a chef or anything similar. But if I know what you want, maybe I'll surprise both of us and have something meaningful to say.:speech:

You're as depressed about the quietness of this place as me or is it something else?

For my day off I was planning on cashing in my tax return, paying rent, buying a set of hair clippers, seeing a movie, buying copious amounts of alcohol, and a chocolate bar... but my tax return didn't come today, so I'm basically sitting around doing nothing.

Thanks Juni, but they didn't have any recipes for soul food at all!

Soul food? Well there is this awesome - fantastic - incredible - stupendous - phenominal - yummy restaurant that I kinda liked that served "home cookin" (Dot's Place burned down and wasn't insured, so we don't know if Mama Dot is going to rebuild or not

). They don't have much with potatoes other than mashed potatoes, and I'm assuming you are looking for something a little more sophisticated than that.
Most of the recipes I've seen with potatoes are just some dish with potatoes cooked in the same dish or served on the side. Nothing where potatoes are an integral part of the recipe or dish. Sorry.

Soul food with potatoes:
Mashed potatoes made with butter and condensed milk
Sweet potatoes parboiled, sliced, and then baked using sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

Yeah, I was looking on the same site Juni. I found this in the fish section:
[quote="http://www.soulfoodcookbook.com/fish.html]Potato and Crabmeat Casserole
Ingredients:
5 medium Potatoes-sliced thinly
imitation crabmeat-large package
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 carton heavy whipping cream
salt"]
Sounds very odd.

Sounds like a baked clam chowder using crab instead.

That's a family secret! Shhhhhhhhh!
In looking around, the most widely advertised potatoe recipes are for stand-alone side dishes that include mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, yams (brown sugar, nutmeg, etc) or potato salad. Not anything very worthwhile except as a side dish.
Does that help?

I found a recipe for shark/penguin kabobs with ketchup for dipping!
Thank you for all the help.

The crab one sounds good, but I'm cooking for vegetarians! I had already been to the soul food website, and was considering the scalloped potatoes, so that's what it will be.
