  • Deep fried mashed potato balls from 1822 and a slow roasted duck from 1823. These are real recipes (or receipts as they used to be called) from those who came before us. Let's recreate these dishes as they were made 200 years ago!

      I grew up in a Hungarian household and my grandma made a similar version of the 200 year old receipt for fried mashed potato balls using leftover mashed potatoes. Her version was "potato cakes". Instead of breading the outside, everything was mixed together and fried in a skillet. She mostly just used onion, salt & pepper and parsley for her version as far as seasoning, omitting the rosemary, thyme and nutmeg. And of course we had duck or goose depending on what my great-uncle was able to successfully hunt.

      Forgive me for asking but do you have any running water nearby-I guess what I’m asking is how do you wash your hands? Between the raw meat and eggs and just the mess of mixing butter with your hands or the potatoes, I keep wondering!
      Thanks.
