Someone rejoices when the house suddenly descends funny company friends. Some people prefer solitude. But no one is immune from spontaneous visits. At the same time, it’s easy to feed some guests, while serving a real delicacy to others. Or maybe they have been waiting for guests for a long time, but they didn’t know how to surprise them. Do you want advice? More precisely, a lot? Now you will learn how an ordinary one can decorate both friendly gatherings and an almost royal table.

Even if it is clear that the visit of guests is inevitable, and there is not much money in the house, stop panicking! “Calm, only calm!”, as Carlson said in such cases. Whistle everyone upstairs, we act clearly and harmoniously!

The owner of the house immediately leads his friends to show how he made repairs, assembled a ship model in a bottle, or created a new program on his home computer. Well, in the meantime, the hostess should not even think about how to feed this crowd or treat unexpected, albeit very pleasant visitors. We look at how many guests we have and how many potatoes are in the farm. A little? The eldest son or daughter - with a list and money to the nearest grocery store. Other helpers - with you to the kitchen.

By the way, if dad goes to the kitchen, and mom starts talking about how she assembled a sailboat in a bottle, it will be even more fun!

Impromptu Potato

1. We take potatoes based on the formula 2 medium tubers per guest. We wash, but do not clean. Cut in half, salt.
2. Lubricate the cut with soft butter using a whorl (this is such a bunch of feathers, if you don’t know). A wide brush will do. Spices - to your taste.
3. Cut a couple of cloves of garlic into feathers and lay them on the cut. There is a basis.
4. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet with the unpeeled side down. We put in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

The table will no longer be empty, even if you only have bread and a jar of sprats for such a dish. But let's leave the sprats alone. There are enough ways to surprise guests or just feed them well. Because there is still a lot of things in the house, and our imagination has not been impoverished!

cheese fantasy

1. In a Teflon ladle, slowly melt the grated hard cheese. It is not at all necessary to bring it to a state of homogeneous mass: lumps will add a special piquancy to the dish! Let the potatoes bake.
2. We put finely chopped greens in the melted cheese: - what to eat. We leave it on the stove (if there is a danger of burning, then on steam bath). Add black and red pepper to this. This sauce is already divine!
3. We take out the baked potatoes and carefully pour each half with this sauce with a spoon. Something is missing? No, it already tastes great, but what about the aesthetics? The proud hostess cannot do without it! We open a jar of olives - green or black - and place a berry in the middle of each "half-potato". And to shade the aroma, we put one or two cranberries next to it.

good old mayonnaise

If even with cheese the dish seems dry to you, here is an indispensable recipe:

1. Mix mayonnaise and sour cream in a ratio of 1:1. Add just a little to taste lemon juice(not necessary). Pour everything into two cups. For color, add a few drops of ketchup to one.
2. Garnish your potatoes with a cooking syringe and serve. Pure time cooking - 20 minutes!

Let's add exotic

If there is a couple in the house, then in 30 minutes you will have time to arrange a real banquet:

1. Bake potatoes, wash and cut - like last time.
2. We cut the avocado, clean it with a spoon, beat with a mixer or blender, supply with spices to taste.
3. We take out a little pulp from the middle of the finished potato and replace it with an avocado, processed as mentioned above. Don't forget to add oil! You can pull out all the pulp from the potatoes, mix with avocados, add even onions fried to a golden state. It's great too. But it's plus 15 minutes.

Easier nowhere

Cut potatoes into circles.
Cut the fat into circles.
Cut the onion into circles.
Putting on toothpicks
In the same order as above.
Put everything together in foil.
Preheat the oven well
And on a baking sheet our dish.
We put it inside and wait for the result
In 20 minutes, no more!
Well tell me - what could be easier?
Do not feed anyone and kick out.

On the difficulties of choosing an original dish

Every pressure cooker/slow cooker manual and vast cooking forums contain thousands of recipes. Not only that: their number is growing and supplemented by delights that home and professional chefs invent almost daily. And that's great. What is the difficulty? And that the guest becomes capricious:
- Ah, we just ate this yesterday at the Ivanovs'!
- And Petrova adds white pepper ...
- And the Shiryaevs cook much tastier!

The Shiryaevs can actually cook better. But a unique guest is coming to us - at least a celebrity, at least just a beloved grandfather, who, no worse than a virtuoso violinist, is able to appreciate the culinary vein of the hostess or owner! What to do?

In music, literature and painting there is an inexhaustible source of original and delicious dishes - history and tradition. In our case, it is history and traditions folk cuisine. Come on, my dear Russian patriot, have you ever eaten such a popular dish in the 19th century as Velvet Potatoes? Ate? That is, not only did not eat, but did not hear? That's it! But we and the Shiryaevs count it among our favorite dishes!

This traditional and highly aristocratic dish will impress both the Ivanovs and the Petrovs, and who knows? - maybe the Shiryaevs too?!

1. Boil the peeled potatoes (or boil them in their skins and peel them afterwards).
2. Carefully cut it into circles and, delicately spreading it in a saucepan, add butter, thinly chopped parsley, shallots (it is easy to find on the Danilovsky market in Moscow or Kuznechny in St. Petersburg). Sprinkle with pepper, salt and add a teaspoon of vinegar. But this - final stage! First, let's prepare the same "velvet"!
3. We need white sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add flour (as needed to form a homogeneous mass), stirring constantly. Let the mixture boil, but in no case do not let it change color: overdo it a little, and it will turn red, and we do not need this. Stir all the time! When you get a thick, but moderate sauce, put it on hot water bath not to get cold.
4. Then we need to make jelly. The process is reminiscent of making aspic or jelly - as you like - but only reminds! 4 veal legs, turkey shank or leg, 2 carrots, 2 peeled onions with a clove stuck in the middle and a veal kidney, pour over 1 cup of white wine and pour strong beef broth in a saucepan to cover everything. Boil in a saucepan for 30 minutes, regularly skimming off the foam. When the jelly thickens, heat it for 2 hours on the smallest fire. At the same time, the shank and kidneys must be cut right in the pan with a knife or pierced as it should many times with a fork so that their juice becomes part of the jelly. And you need to do this as soon as the broth begins to darken. Remove the pot from the heat for 20 minutes and add 4 ladles of good beef broth. Add string-bound herbs: parsley, cumin, and basil. Slowly bring everything back to a boil, remove the herbs and strain the resulting jelly through cheesecloth. Small fractions for complete transparency of the jelly can be removed by whipping 4 egg whites and adding to jelly. And boil again, stirring constantly. Once the mixture boils, strain it again.
5. And now we mix the jelly with white sauce in a convenient bowl with a mixer on fire and pour the potatoes cooked, as it was said at the very beginning.

Lithuanian zeppelins

In Lithuania, zeppelins are prepared in different ways. We offer you a way that we think is tastier. Find another recipe and cook it your way - honor and praise to you, especially if it comes out better.

Fortunately, modern Food processors significantly speed up many processes. So:

2. After that boiled potatoes we also rub (or crush with a pestle) and mix with the grated and with the allocated juice.
3. Knead the dough long and thoroughly. So that it does not turn out to be too liquid, you can let the juice from the grated potatoes stand, drain the water, leaving the settled starch, and add only it to the dough.
4. We scroll a pound of fatty minced pork through a meat grinder with onions and garlic, add salt and pepper.
5. With a small saucer we cut mugs from the rolled dough, fill them with minced meat and begin to carefully sculpt and mold. You should get a figure resembling an airship, hence the name.
6. Boil zeppelins in a light simmering broth or salted water with bay leaf. But that's not all!
7. Fry the salo with onions until cracklings are obtained. We are preparing mushroom sauce (dry porcini mushrooms, soaked in the evening, finely chopped and simmered in water in a pan). And - from the heat, from the heat, doused with mushroom sauce, sour cream and bacon with cracklings ...

And just something onion-lard-minced meat-salt-pepper-potatoes and a little bit! Your spouse will not even have time to annoy guests with a story about collecting a model of a sailboat in a bottle.

1. We take a kitchen tray for baking. Pour the bottom of it with vegetable oil, add salt and spices - a little. And put on the bottom of the chopped onion rings.
2. We cover the onion with a layer of potatoes cut into circles - 3 millimeters thick.
3. On top we put peeled, boneless fish - cod, but at least trout or salmon - it will not taste bad!
4. Put a layer of carrots on the fish. Drizzle with oil and add spices. Then we put onion rings on top of the carrots, on top - potatoes, fish, carrots, butter-onions-potatoes-carrots ... How much is the height of the tray enough, but on top - there must certainly be potatoes! As a big fan of this dish, I will say: there is no such fish that could spoil it! But without potatoes, it is simply impossible to eat.
