Okay, so I'm teaching a group of 5 to 10 teenagers on Thursday, June 14. I'm really looking forward to it.
I plan to talk about potatoes--how you can fix them oodles of different ways. (The broader topic is how you can eat with variety, even if your food choices are limited. Potatoes are easier to show than chicken, but the concept is the same.) After I talk, I'll have the kids go from station to station and use the tools for themselves. I was just wondering if you, my wonderfully creative friends, could come up with some other ideas.
Different ways to fix them: mashed, fried, scalloped/au gratin, baked, french fries, hash browns, home fries, roasted, and waffle fries.
The stations I plan to set up: ultimate mandolin, deluxe cheese grater (with coarse grate barrel), crinkle cutter, the apple wedger, and vegetable peeler.
I also plan to show the Micro Cooker (since that's an easy way to cook potatoes), the Mix N Masher and the old Potato Masher (since that's what a regular masher looks like). Since fresh garlic is a great way to change up a recipe, I also plan to explain the difference between a head of garlic and a clove of garlic, and how to use a garlic press.
Okay, so what have I forgotten? TIA!
