Answer 1

As the DB says, you can't beat boiled potatoes for being easy to make, but if you want anything a little fancier than that try these.

Here’s a sweet one:



BREAD PUDDING Back to Top

3 large eggs

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 tablespoons sugar

1/2 loaf stale white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons raisins

2 ounces Irish whiskey

Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a 1-1/2-quart baking dish.

In a large bowl, Combine the eggs, milk, and sugar and stir until smooth. Fold in the bread, raisins, and whiskey and fold until well blended. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes or until the bread has absorbed most of the batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with small scoops of vanilla ice cream.

NOTE: Popular in Ireland especially at Christmas time, this bread pudding can be served anytime of year. Not only is it the absolute best use for stale bread, this recipe can be altered to suit any number of tastes. Chopped Nuts or fruit can be folded into the final batter then baked. Hazelnut liqueurs or Cointreau can also be substituted for the whiskey used here.

Answer 2

My very favorite meal in the world has just 3 dishes, each of them with no more than 4 ingredients (some of which overlap): Cheeseburger with baked potato and salad. Cheeseburger: Sprinkle both sides of a beef patty with salt and pepper. (Garlic powder optional.) Cook in a frying pan or on a charcoal grill until it reaches the desired doneness, turning frequently. (You should cook it on low heat, and flip it every time the juice start bubbling out of the top.) Put a slice of cheese on top. If pan-frying, pour a small amount of cold water (about 1/8 cup) into the pan. Cover with a lid and wait until cheese is melted (about 1 minute). May be served on a bun with burger condiments, but if your budget won't stretch to hamburger buns, pickles, onions, mayo, etc, then just eat it like a steak with a knife and fork. Salad: Wash a couple of leaves each of lettuce and cabbage. Slice or tear into bite-size pieces. Dice one hard-boiled egg. Toss together the lettuce, cabbage, and egg. Drizzle with your favorite salad dressing. Baked potato: Wash potato and make a cross or X in the skin with a knife. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes until soft. Serve with butter or margarine. If you wish, you may add either sour cream or plain yogurt. Salt and pepper to taste. I could eat it every night of the week without complaining!
