Here we go people!\u00a0 I have the honor of hosting the Ho-down this month, so I had the privilege of seeing all of this spud-centric goodness in one place before anyone else.\u00a0 I have to go do some shopping today, so I will definitely be adding some extra potatoes to my list.<\/p>\n

Here is the line-up, in the order they hit my in-box.\u00a0 Make sure you go visit them all and say hello, ok?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, we have Snooty Primadona’s offering: Lulu Larue’s Colorful Potato Confetti Soup<\/a>
\n\"potsoup1\"Her blog can be found here:\u00a0Snooty Primadona’s Guide To Cooking Like A Diva<\/a>
\nSnooty says: “If it’s not cold enough outside to make potato soup, I say do what I do. Crank down the air conditioner, because this soup is too delicious to pass up.”<\/p>\n

Next is Jamie’s Peewee Ann’s Creamy\/Crispy Potato Latkes With Caramelized Shallots<\/a>\"pancake\"<\/p>\n

Jamie’s blog is here: Life’s a Feast<\/a>, and she has this to say about her recipe: “A fabulous Potato Pancake (Galette de Pommes de Terre or Latkes) – and\u00a0
\nPassover friendly, to boot, with a creamy, smooth inside and crispy\u00a0
\noutside, laced with rich caramelized shallots and dusted with sugar to\u00a0
\nmake a delectable contrast.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0Moving right along, we come next to Elra’s Loulou’s Southwestern Potatoes<\/a>\"swpot\"You can find Elra’s blog here: Elra’s Cooking<\/a>, and about this dish, she says “A delicious, honest and \u00a0down to earth potato dish”.<\/p>\n

Then, we have two offerings from Chrystal and Amir.\u00a0 First is Chad Denise’s Pan Fried Breakfast Potatoes<\/a>: \"break_pot\"Their website is here: Duo Dishes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They sent in a second submission as well, which can be found here: Chad Denise’s Chicken and Cheddar Stuffed Potatoes<\/a>\"chick_stuff\"They didn’t send a description for their dishes, but they both look great to me.<\/p>\n

Then, from Christine, we have Yum Cha Cha Cha’s Potato Puffs<\/a>\"puffs\" Christine’s blog is here: Kit’s Chow<\/a>,\u00a0 and she had this to say about her recipe: “If you can’t decide whether to fry or mash potatoes, do both,\u00a0 You’ll can have fried mashed potatoes.”<\/p>\n

Next, we come to The Daily Spud’s Spicy Skins \"skins\"<\/a>The Daily Spud blog can be found here: The Daily Spud<\/a>, and they had this to say about their recipe: \u00a0“Thickly sliced potato skins, roasted with olive oil and harissa, a spicy chili-garlic mix from North Africa. I guess you could say these were both Moorish and moreish at the same time!”<\/p>\n

Then we skip over to Cathy’s Maxine Denise’s Sweet Potatoes with Pecans and Blue Cheese<\/a>\u00a0\"sweetpot_pecans\"Cathy blogs at Where’s My Damn Answer<\/a>, and she didn’t provide a description of her dosh, but the combo of sweet potatoes and pecans has to be good right?<\/p>\n

After that, we go to Mrs. L’s Trixie Belle’s Bacon Wrapped Potato Bites<\/a>\u00a0\"bac_wrap\"Mrs L blogs at Pages, Pucks and Pantry<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0 Bacon.\u00a0 Potatoes.\u00a0 No description needed really.<\/p>\n

Next up is an entry for BigSis\/LilSis: Frosty-Gay and Wolfie-Lee’s Pink Potatotini<\/a>\u00a0\"pink\"The sisters blog here: BigSis LilSis<\/a>, and of this recipe, they say ” Rich mashed potatoes with cream cheese, butter, and sour cream get a pink tint and are swirled into a martini glass with a sprinkle of chives and a couple of olives.”<\/p>\n

Now we come to this month’s offering from one of the founders of the Ho-down – Cathy: Sparky Marie’s Sweet Potato Spice Cookies<\/a>\u00a0\"cookies\"Cathy blogs at Noble Pig<\/a>, and had this to say about this recipe: \u201cThese are of course another genius invention\u00a0by some potato lover somewhere.\u00a0 They are just so, so good; soft, chewy and crunchy.\u00a0 The perfect cookie trifecta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, it’s Laura’s treat: Popcorn Jeanne’s Potato Yeast Donuts<\/a>\u00a0\"donuts\"Laura blogs here:\u00a0 The Cooking Photographer<\/a>, she had this to say about her recipe: “Potato Yeast Doughnuts made by a real live\u00a0Idaho gal.
