During winter, sauerkraut, dried beans and potatoes
\nfigure more prominently on Romanian tables, which dates back to a time when all
\nproduce was seasonal. Potatoes are a part of many dishes. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
They can be baked, boiled, mashed, or fried. A popular
\ndish using potatoes during the cold season is a version of moussaka. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
One of the simplest dishes using potatoes is potato
\nstew. You need a kilo of potatoes, two or three onions, fresh parsley, tomato
\npaste, oil, and salt to taste. Peel the potatoes, wash well and cut into medium
\nsized chunks. Slice the onion and sweat in oil. Add the potatoes and water to
\ncover, then boil on medium heat. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
At the end add a tablespoon or two of tomato paste, the
\nfresh parsley, finely chopped, and salt to taste. Allow sufficient water into
\nthe dish, since the potatoes will soak up a lot of liquid. <\/p>\n

Another recipe that is popular is used mostly as a side
\ndish, and is known in Romanian as peasant-style potatoes. If you have guests,
\nyou can make as much as 10 portions of this dish by using 2 kilos of potatoes,
\ntwo or three large onions, 200 grams of cured sheep cheese or cheddar style
\ncheese, milk or sour cream, and two eggs. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Boil the potatoes in their skin in salt water. Take them
\nout, let them cool a bit, then peel them and slice them thinly. Chop the onion
\nand sweat in oil. You can add bacon to the recipe, about 200 grams, chopped
\nfinely, then browned in the oil with the onion. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Next, take a deep oven tray, laying in it successive
\nlayers of potatoes and onion with bacon. In between layers put in crumbled
\ncheese or grated cheddar. Beat the eggs with the milk or sour cream, then pour
\nit on top. Put in the oven for 30 minutes. You can also add to the recipe
\ngarlic and dill. Enjoy. <\/p>\n
