1. Potato Leaf Patty
Yield: 2

Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 medium potato
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 egg
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Peel the potato, cut it in half lengthwise, and use 2 knives to carve a leaf pattern in each potato half, as shown in the video. Combine the ground beef, onion, egg, salt, and pepper and divide the mixture in half. Place 1 portion of the ground beef mixture in a small bowl and press 1 of the carved potatoes into the ground beef, with the cut side facing up.

2. Egg-In-A-Hole Potato Donut

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 large potato
- 1 egg
- chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions:
Peel the potato and cut it in half lengthwise. Then make several equally-spaced incisions widthwise in each potato half and place them in lukewarm water for 1 hour to make them more malleable. Dry the soaked potatoes and use toothpicks to connect the 2 halves in the shape of a circle, as shown in the video. Fry the potato donut on both sides in a pan over medium heat, crack an egg into the center, cover the pan with a lid, and let cook until the egg has set. Garnish the egg-in-a-hole potato donut with parsley before serving.

Instructions:
Peel the potato and cut it in half widthwise. Make several deep vertical and horizontal incisions in the surface of each potato half – the incisions should cut about halfway down – and soak the cut potatoes in lukewarm water for 1 hour to make them more malleable. Dry the soaked potatoes and wrap a slice of bacon around the bottom of each potato half. Fry the potato stick cups in hot cooking oil until crispy and golden brown and garnish with garlic herb butter before serving.
