It's hard to believe that there's only one more week left in the challenge. I have really enjoyed it so far and even think I've become a better cook.
Today I made Potato Torte using potatoes, kale, and herbs from my CSA basket. I had seen the recipe a few years ago on Food Network and have used it a few times since then. When I got the potatoes and herbs, I immediately thought of this. I roughly based dinner on this recipe but with a few substitutions. Instead of the thyme it calls for, I used sage and oregano and since my husband is a vegetarian, I didn't use bacon. I wanted something to add to it and look in my fridge and saw the kale. I cut up a few leaves and sprinkled them in between to the potato layers (so, I guess you could say I substituted it for the bacon). I didn't have any Gruyere either so used shredded cheddar.
It was really delicious. Tomorrow, I'm thinking of using the rest of the potatoes and beets to make Borscht. I have beef stock left over from the pot roast I made last week so looks like I have everything I need.
I was going to have a small potluck today as per the NOFA-NY challenge, but honestly the 25th snuck up on me. Maybe I'll have my brother's family over during the week. My sister-in-law is a great cook so maybe she'll come up with something yummy!
