Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch flameproof baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir until combined. Cook 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the cayenne and mustard powder. Whisk in the milk. Allow to cook and thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Line the baking dish with a crisscrossed layer of country ham, then a layer of slightly overlapping potatoes, then about 2/3 cup sauce. Repeat the layering until all the ingredients are used. You should have a total of 3 sets of layers, ending with the sauce on top. Top with the Gruyere and cover with foil. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and spoon off any fat that has pooled in the baking dish, if needed. Switch the oven to broil and broil until light golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES (COOK'S COUNTRY METHOD)
From Cook's Country TV. Some notes: 1) This method is to avoid the washed-away flavor of boiled potatoes. 2. The purpose of the sugar is to mimic that sweet flavor without oven roasting. 3) Cut the potatoes into small pieces to allow more surface area to soak up garlic flavor and to promote even cooking. 4) ...and most importantly, to eliminate excess starch, which produces gluey mashed potatoes, give the raw, cut russets a good rinse under running water before adding them to the pot to simmer.

Add rinsed potatoes, 1 1/4 cups half-and-half, water and 1 teaspoon salt to pot and stir to combine. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Peel and chunk potatoes into large chunk pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water and cook for 10 minutes only. Potatoes should be still firm to touch and not completely cooked through.
- 2. I used my electric skillet for the recipe this time, but I also love using a cast Iron skillet for it's even temperature cooking. Add in the corn syrup, vanilla Bean Paste, Brown Sugar, VIETNAMESE CINNAMON & soften butter, heat just until butter melts, then stir to blend mixture together.
- 3. Once butter is melted and mixture begins to slowly simmer, add in the orange juice, apple juice or water, and stir.
- 4. Now add in the partially cooked potatoes, lower the heat setting to low, and continue to cook slowly.
- 5. Continue cooking and stir to prevent potatoes from sticking to bottom of skillet, REMEMBER YOU MUST COOK SLOWLY, SO BE PATIENT. Glaze will gradually begin to caramelize and thicken, continue glazing and coating the potatoes, moving in skillet to prevent sticking to the bottom. Should take between 45 minutes to an hour, to peak at the optimum point.
- 6. Serve while still hot. You will not believe how much flavor these potatoes have.
- 7. NOTE: Vietnamese Cinnamon is also called Saigon Cinnamon, it has a higher oil content , is sweeter, and much more aromatic, & has a stronger flavor, you will notice the difference in how aromatic it is right away. My next project is Cinnamon Rolls.

Steps:
- 1. In a large soup pot add all ingredients except potatoes - heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil. You want to have enough liquid to just barely cover the beans. Reduce heat and simmer another 2 - 3 hours.
- 2. Check for seasoning and adjust as needed. If it tastes a little salty it's OK, the potatoes will soak some of that up. The beans should be very tender and beginning to fall apart.
- 3. Add the new potatoes and push them down into the beans so that they're covered with liquid. If more liquid is needed add more chicken stock or water.
- 4. Raise heat to medium and bring liquid to a boil - cover and boil for 20 minutes or until potatoes are done. Taste again and adjust seasoning as needed. Enjoy!
- 5. NOTES: The beer and the bacon grease make all the difference in the taste so don't leave that out.

Steps:
- 1. Steam or boil green beans until almost tender. They will cook longer in the skillet, so you don't want them mushy.
- 2. In my cast iron skillet, I add the bacon and cook until not quite crisp.
- 3. Add the onion, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and water. Place a lid over the skillet and cook on med for 10 - 12 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Remove lid and add the beans and more water if going dry. Remain cooking until potatoes are tender and beans are as well.
- 4. Serve hot. Gram would always make a huge skillet of these and usually would serve with fresh corn on the cob and sweet juicy tomato slices fresh from her garden. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a crispy coating, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and seasonings to coat the potatoes before frying.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to fry the potatoes in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the potatoes. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F.
- Fry the potatoes in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings, after frying for a flavorful dish.
- For a healthier option, bake the potatoes instead of frying them. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, seasonings, and herbs, and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Country potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of seasoning options and cooking methods, there's a country potato recipe to suit every taste.
