Gorgonzola Scalloped Potatoes

You won't believe how creamy gorgonzola makes these potatoes, so buttery and delicious.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
1/2 cup Parmesan
2 tbs butter, melted
6 potatoes, cut very thin (I use my trusty box grater)
salt and pepper
3/4 cup half and half (could sub milk, not low fat)
1/2 large white onion, sliced very thin.
Melt butter and spread some in round casserole (I use a 1 qt)

Mix all but 1 tbs each of the Gorgonzola and Parmesan. Add half and half, some salt and pepper and mix gently with potato slices and onion. Layer in casserole. Spread remaining cheeses on top and pour butter over. Cover with lid, or tightly fitting foil. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for one hour. Test for donesness by piercing a potato, it should slip in easily with no resistance.

Cumin Roasted Potato Wedges

Sometimes simple is the way to go. And sometimes I crave meat and potatoes. Tonight- Oven roasted boneless sirloin steaks, roasted potato wedges and (my new obsession-broccoli tossed in hummus). Here's the roasted potato wedges recipe:

4 potatoes, quartered in wedges
1-2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1/4- 1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili flakes

Toss wedges with the olive oil and seasonings and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Roast in preheated 400 degree oven for 30 min, turning each wedge halfway thru roasting. I didn't really taste the cumin, it just added a seasoned taste and was surprised it wasn't stronger. Went really well with the steaks and broccoli!
