Strong stuff in Riverside While many of us might be experiencing the winter blues, new Riverside residents, the Strong family, reminds us just how much fun the snow can be. Emma (from left), Max and Dave Strong recently relocated to Riverside from Forest Park. The Feb. 5 snow led them out to Swan Pond for a some sledding on the chilly day. Asked why the family decided to move to Riverside, David Strong answered, “I just thought, this seems like a great place to grow up.”

RIVERSIDE – Five inches of fresh powder on the ground wasn’t enough to turn farmers market shoppers away in Riverside on Feb. 5 for the opening of the village’s new Winter Market. Located inside the warmth of the Riverside train station, shoppers milled around between the various sellers’ booths, which offered everything from sweets to fresh baked breads to pickles. “It’s been really good,” said Carissa Katic of Katic Breads. “We didn’t really know what to expect with the weather.” Wednesday’s Winter Market was Katic’s first time selling in Riverside, although she’s sold her baguettes, focaccia and croissants at other nearby markets, including the La Grange Farmers Market. Mike Fahey of Lou’s Old Fashioned said that in addition to the support, it was nice to see some familiar faces again. Lou’s Old Fashioned was a staple at the summer farmers market in Riverside, and customers came out to get their pickled fix. “Considering the weather it’s been good,” Fahey said. “Most of the people I’ve seen are

Many are dealing with road salt shortage By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com The next time you throw away a salt packet from a fastfood joint, remember the slippery drive you had to take to get that burger. Not that public works directors in the area are about to sprinkle table salt on their frozen realm, but salt, the road variety, is becoming a scarce commodity these wintry days. A succession of snow events during the past several weeks has left many communities strapping on the proverbial snow shoes to go out and search for road salt as they deal with dwindling supplies. The Chicago area has seen nearly twice as much snow as the average for the season, and temperatures have dropped below zero nearly 20 times already this winter. Salt is secured through the Illinois Department of Central Services’ Joint purchase program. It’s a co-op of sorts;

“Over the past five years, we use on average of 1,199 tons of salt. To date, we’ve used about 1,900 tons allready. We were fortunate in that we had about 600 tons on reserve from last year. Based on the area-wide shortages of salt, we went ahead and started modifying our salting operations.” Ryan Gillingham La Grange Director of Public Works communities submit a tonage figure for salt a year in advance of each year’s two snow seasons, during the beginning and at the end of the year. The state then goes out to bid for a price on the salt per ton. At that point, communities are locked into a price. Berwyn is such a community. “Our contract was awarded to Cargill at $53.89 per ton,” Berwyn Public Works Director Bob Schiller said. “This is a delivered price to our salt bin.” But the cost is going up for those not in the purchasing plan, or those looking to buy outside of the plan, Riverside Public Works Director Ed Bai-

ley said. Salt cost Riverside $49.96 a ton this year, but Bailey said he’s heard salt on the open market is costing from $130 to $150 per ton these days. It’s called supply and demand. Its easy to see why there is such a demand – just look outside. But what of the supply? Look to the rivers. The bulk of road salt, possibly all of it, is shipped to the area by way of river barges. Sub-zero temperatures have frozen rivers across the state, meaning no barge traffic. “There is a lot of salt stuck in the pipeline due to the frozen rivers,” Bailey said. “And a lot of the salt used in this

What’s in your bucket?

area comes from Louisiana.” Meanwhile, Schiller said he placed orders for salt more than three weeks ago. “As of Feb. 6, we have received only 100 tons of the 1,500 tons on order,”Schiller said. In Riverside, Bailey said the salt situation has been “kind of nip and tuck” throughout the winter. “Usually, we’ve received it in time of a snow event,” he said. “We’ve almost been using it as we get it. Right now, we have 200 tons and I’m expecting another 100 tons. That means I have 200 tons on hand and another 100 tons on the way. That’s all I have.” La Grange Director of Pub-

lic Works Ryan Gillingham summed up his salt situation this way: “Over the past five years, we use on average of 1,199 tons of salt,” he said. “To date, we’ve used about 1,900 tons already. We were fortunate in that we had about 600 tons on reserve from last year. Based on the area-wide shortages of salt, we went ahead and started modifying our salting operations.” The village of La Grange will take “a stair step approach” to conserving salt unless it locates more for purchase, Gillingham said. The first step will be to only salt arterial and collector streets and intersections on residential side streets. The next step after that will be to mix sand with salt to improve traction and to only put deicing chemicals on main roadways. The village will, however, continue to plow all streets. But if things don’t change, you can always start saving those salt packets.

BROOKFIELD – A man being held by Brookfield police for the stabbing of a Villa Park man at Brixie’s Bar and Grill on Feb. 2 was released without charges after the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office rejected felony charges Feb. 4. According to the State’s Attorney’s Office, statements by the offender, the victim and several others who were with the victim, were inconsistent. The offender maintained he was acting in self defense during an altercation in the parking lot where he was sitting in his vehicle. The victim, accompanied by several other men, opened the offender’s car door. The offender said he was afraid he was about to be dragged from the vehicle and

beaten by the group of men. It was the offender who dialed 911 and said he had stabbed someone who had just tried to attack him. The offender told the dispatcher, “I had to, I swear to God.” Police were called about 3:59 a.m. to Brixie’s parking lot, 9526 Ogden Ave., and found the 27-year-old Villa Park man on the ground with a stab wound to his abdomen. He was taken to Loyola Hospital where he underwent surgery. La Grange police arrested the suspect nearby, parked in a red Lincoln in the 7-Eleven parking lot at Ogden and East avenues. The suspect was taken to Brookfield Police Department. A black knife was found in the vehicle, according to police reports.

Riverside waits to hear about train station grant By NICK SAMUEL msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – The village of Riverside is anxiously waiting to find out if it received a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation to repair the town’s train station. The $900,000 grant would go toward repairing the roof, which was built in 1901. Ed Bailey, director of the Riverside Public Works Department, said the village will know if it earned the grant sometime this month. He added the grant, which Riverside applied for last fall, is provided through IDOT’s Transportation and Enhancement Program. Bailey said the village first applied for the grant in 2009. Since then, Riverside applied three or four more times, and all of the submissions have

is with the roof’s clay tiles, many of which are damaged. “These tiles are over 100

years old,” Bailey said. “Impacts from the weather causes them to crack and break.” Bailey said Riverside’s Board of Trustees can decide to either replace or maintain the clay tiles. The director said the State Historic Preservation Office in Springfield strongly recommended that the village sustains the clay tile. He added the office doesn’t want the train station to have a different roof because it would take away from the historical integrity of the building. Even though no formal decision has been made on how to replace the roof, Bailey said the village board is currently researching possible solutions. “Our train station is an iconic building,” said trustee Ellen Hamilton. “I don’t want to see it fall on the wayside.”

Riverside Board of Trustees discusses road salt options By NICK SAMUEL msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – With more snow and ice expected to hit the Chicago area, it seems as if this brutal winter weather won’t go away.

because of slow and sporadic deliveries. “There could be a limited amount of salt with high demand from other communities,” Public Works Department Director Ed Bailey said. “All these other communities are in the same boat. Everyone’s low on rock salt.” Bailey said public works receives the rock salt through the Illinois Department of

Central Management Services Program. He added the department took in 200 tons of rock salt on Thursday and 100 tons two weeks ago. “At this point, it doesn’t matter; we got all the salt we’re going to get,” said Bailey. “This shortage causes stress and concern that we might run out of rock salt before we run out of winter.” Bailey said the total

amount of rock salt the department has should last until the end of the winter season. But, he said public works will begin to use the rock salt more sparingly. “We’re only going to salt the main streets and streets with schools but not residential streets,” said Bailey. “We’re trying to preserve the salt we have.” Bailey said the department

paid-on-call firefighters SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LYONS – Nine paid-on-call firefighters are set to be appointed by the Lyons Fire Department this month, increasing the ranks of the village’s Emergency Response Team. Lyons began the testing process for paid-on-call firefighters at the end of last year and the chosen applicants are in the final stages of screening. “POCs play a vital role in our department and provide the manpower for shift coverage, emergency calls, community events and fire prevention activities,” Lyons Fire Chief Gordon Nord said in a news release. With the newly hired nine paid-on-call firefighters, Ly-

ons will have 37 firefighters/ EMTs total, with 31 paid-oncall firefighters and six fulltime contract employees. “Our basic goal is to have enough manpower and equipment to respond to the ordinary day to day responses within our village without having to rely on mutual aid exclusively,” Nord said. Nord said he considered the testing process a great success and the applicants are given an excellent opportunity to serve their local community. The village is planning to reopen the enrollment process within the next six months to fill additional paid-on-call firefighter positions within the department.

The details of D-201’s new grading system As a district, not unlike communities across the country, what we have been doing in schools has not resulted in the high achievement we all desire. So to continue repeating the same practices, School District 20l unlikely would produce improved results. Even our students earning high grades in our honors classes have not been meeting or exceeding standards on measures such as PSAE or Advanced Placement at a rate commensurate with their grades. We have seen evidence in the grades that shows the traditional grading system was not promoting mastery of the learning standards. Rather, students COMMUNITY were often receiving high VOICE grades based on compliance Michael and extra credit for items not Kuzniewski related to the standards they needed to learn. They were earning course grades that were higher than their assessment results would have indicated. With that in mind this past fall, Morton School District 201 implemented a new grading scale. Students are now graded on a zero to 5 scale, rather than on the traditional percentage scale. The zero to 5 scale is more fair to students than the traditional percentage scale, in which each passing letter grade corresponds to 10 percentage points, while failing is 60 percentage points wide. Report cards still report letter grades, but parents also see students’ zero to 5 ratings for the standards in each course. When fully implemented with fidelity, this will provide parents specific information on what students have mastered, and what they need more help to master. The district has been preparing for this transition since 2011 by conducting professional development with experts in the field, researching other school systems, meeting with parent-teacher organizations and holding informational sessions for parents and students in November 2012 and in May, June and November 2013. There is much more to do, but in any initiative, you must take the first steps to actually implement. We are cognizant that implementation is a process and not an event. Like any other newly implemented initiative, we have found that it requires calibration. We also know that any change in curriculum, instruction, assessment, or grading brings the necessity to look at the results to see whether it is having the intended effect. As we move forward we will continue to work to perfect the model. We are aware this is a change from the comfort that staff, parents and students had in the traditional model. But change is indeed necessary for the reasons outlined above.

Selfish snowblowers deserve ticket

Don’t forget the ‘R’

Don’t you think that people who snow blow their snow back into the street should get a ticket? It’s rude, it’s selfish, but most of all, it’s just plain stupid.

We are in the month of February, not Febuary. Please check your calendar for the correct spelling, which is F-E-B-R-U-A-R-Y, and correct your pronunciation.

Allow only 1 car on street

Shovel your sidewalks

Regarding the parking problem in Brookfield, I think maybe the village should institute one car per family to be allowed to park on the street and if you have two, three, four cars, then you need to put them in the garages or someplace else because there is limited parking. Also, why don’t people park their cars in front of their homes instead of in front of somebody else’s. Everyone has one designated parking spot in front of their home. They should park their car in front of their home.

People in Darien, shovel your sidewalks. If you can’t, hire someone. A teenage boy went around our neighborhood asking home owners to hire him – a few did. Ones that did not still haven’t shoveled. If you have a corner house, do all your walks. I’m tired of having my kids walk in the street to their school bus stop, and I don’t enjoy walking my dogs in the street.

Parking ticket reply

I agree. Why isn’t Brookfield ticketing or towing cars? A fire truck was trying to drive Good job by public works down my street the other day Pat on the back and a tip of the to shovel paths to the hydrants, halo to the Berwyn Public Works and they couldn’t get through Department for a great job in at the south end of the block, snow removal.

I just read in Suburban Life this week about the Downers Grove disposal program for drugs, which is wonderful. I just want people to be aware of the fact that, and I am a Downers Grove residence, for years at the Lisle police station, you’ve been able to walk in and put your drugs in a box without making an appointment and sometimes that may be more convenient. So anyhow, I just want everybody to know about it. I think it’s wonderful Downers Grove is finally offering this program. But I think it would be easier for a lot of people if they don’t have to make an appointment, they can just drop their drugs off, which I’ve been doing for years.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Todayâ€™s issue of the Riverside-Brookfield Suburban Life, distributed in the village of Riverside, contains a 20page supplement of the Real Estate Assessment list for the Township of Riverside. This list is prepared by Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios. The list is arranged by street name and then by house number under each street name. The listing gives the assessed value of all properties in the township. Under state

and county law, the assessed value of a house should be 10 percent of its market value and a commercial value is assessed at 25 percent of its market value. One of the important uses of the listing is to allow property owners to see how the value of their home compares to the value of other properties in their neighborhood. The Cook County Assessorâ€™s Office does not set the tax rates in the county, nor does it collect property taxes. Property owners received

an individual notice about their property assessment in the mail this week, which contained information to help them understand their assessment. The assessment notice has been reformatted to include more information than ever. Property owners who want further help should call the assessorâ€™s office at 312-4437550 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Property owners can also stop by the office at 118 N. Clark St., Room 320 in Chicago.

New for 2013 Simpliied Option for Home Oice Deduction Beginning in tax year 2013 (returns iled in 2014), taxpayers may use a simpliied option when iguring the deduction for business use of their home. Note: his simpliied option does not change the criteria for who may claim a home oice deduction. It merely simpliies the calculation and recordkeeping requirements of the allowable deduction. Highlights of the simpliied option: • Standard deduction of $5 per square foot of home used for business (maximum 300 square feet). • Allowable home-related itemized deductions claimed in full on Schedule A. (For example: Mortgage interest, real estate taxes). • No home depreciation deduction or later recapture of depreciation for the years the simpliied option is used.

Restaurant reviews

Thai Pot stirs affection for traditional cuisine DOWNERS GROVE – Thai fare has become more commonplace over the years, and, like many other adopted cuisines, often more Americanized. Breading, cream, sugary sauces and less traditional spices frequently are incorporated. Thai Pot seems to resist that temptation, offering authentic flavors and food, to good result. During my first visit to the restaurant, I stopped by for lunch. Tucked into a strip mall in Downers Grove, the storefront eatery has a bright, appealingly decorated interior. The full menu is not available midday, when the restaurant focuses on a selection of weekday lunch specials, which are fairly diverse and very well priced. For just under $8, you get soup, the appetizer of the day and a well-portioned entree. The meal started with a simple yet delicious chicken and jasmine rice soup. It reminded me of my mom’s best chicken noodle, but the jasmine and a smattering of other Thai spices gave it an extra layer of savory that really set it apart. All the components were cooked well, and the broth had an almost buttery texture. The aromatic fish sauce and spices in the red curry with tofu, which usually are muted by lots of coconut sauce, wafted my way as the server approached the table. The emphasis was on the spicy chili sauce in the curry, a dish overflowing with veggies and tofu. The tofu itself melted in my

mouth. It was boiled, not fried, giving it an eggy texture. After the satisfying lunch, I was curious to check out the full menu, and followed up another day with a dinner visit. I started with an order of Shrimp Cigars – admittedly chosen because of the great name. They were big plump shrimp, tail-on, alongside Thai basil and a bit of onion, all wrapped and fried in a wonton wrapper. The visual was a great one, and the presentation allowed the shrimp to stay the star. My entree of spicy basil leaves with chicken had a great blend of flavors, particularly the sauce. It contained just enough basil to add a nice punch. I would have liked even more of the gravy, simply because it was so good. Thai Pot’s greatest strength is its commitment to authenticity. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines – I love the Americanized versions just as much as I love the ones straight from the recipes of Thai grandmothers – and Thai Pot managed to throw in a couple flavors I hadn’t experienced before. Diners who would like to push their boundaries a bit, or those who already relish the more traditional flavors, will want to find out what’s cooking at Thai Pot.

Kevin Fitzgerald’s sharp shooting leads Riverside Brookfield past TC 71-55 By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Kevin Fitzgerald was so hot Friday night that he almost did the famous Michael Jordan shrug after another 3-pointer went in. The Riverside Brookfield junior was 8-for-11 from 3-point range to score a career-high 24 points and help the Bulldogs beat visiting Timothy Christian 71-55. The eight made 3-pointers is the second-most in school history. He sank five in the third quarter alone and kept getting congratulatory shoves from his teammates as he continued to heat up. Fitzgerald admitted even he was surprised. “I was pretty focused because it was a big game,” Fitzgerald said. “It was more of a team thing and it was kind of awkward because I was coming off a bad week of shooting. I didn’t even think that was going to happen.” The Trojans were the hot shooting team early, making six 3-pointers in the first quarter to lead 22-13 after the period. Connor VanderBrug scored 13 points in the first quarter alone and finished with 24 points. The Bulldogs opened the second quarter on a 9-0 run and led by as many as seven points before Timothy closed the half with a 9-0 of its own. The Trojans led 36-34 at halftime.

“In the first half they were shooting like Fitz out there pretty much,” senior guard Will Kincanon said. “Every shot they took was going in. The second half, we locked down defensively. And then he got on fire, and we just pulled away.” Fitzgerald’s hot shooting in the third turned the game around. By midway through the fourth quarter, RB led 6145. “He was unbelievable that whole game,” Kincanon said. “I was trying to find Fitz. I was trying to get in the lane. I was just trying to bring a defender. If he got even a seam it was going in.” Kincanon also had a big game with 23 points for RB. The win against Timothy was RB’s eighth in eight Metro Suburban Conference games. The Bulldogs are nearing their 13th consecutive conference championship. RB, which also hosted Illiana Christian on Tuesday, next plays at second place Glenbard South on Friday.

The reward for a victory would likely be a meeting with top seed and one of the favorites to win state, Whitney Young. Junior Victoria Swift and senior Kayla Morrissey have been the leading scorers on a team that has three sophomores in its rotation. “I’m loving coaching the girls because they’re good kids, they’re working hard,” coach Paul Krick said. “We have really good team chemistry.”

Morton Class: 4A Regional: Riverside Brookfield Sectional: Hinsdale South Seed: No. 13 First game: 7 p.m. Monday vs. No. 19 Juarez Outlook: Morton shouldn’t have much trouble winning its playoff opener against Juarez, but No. 3 Kenwood will be a tougher task in the semifinal. The Broncos aren’t as tested against suburban teams, but have some quality wins on their resume. The young Mustangs, which placed fourth in the West Suburban Gold, are led by sophomore guards Maryam Wilcher and Chloe Maietta and have six sophomores on the roster. Jasmine Morris, another sophomore, is another key player at forward. Regional host Riverside Brookfield and Hinsdale South, which beat the Mustangs in two close games al-

ready, are also at the regional.

Proviso West Class: 4A Regional: York Sectional: Addison Trail Seed: No. 7 First game: 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, vs. No. 10 York Outlook: For much of the season, Proviso West was the class of the West Suburban Silver. Then Toledo recruit Mikaela Boyd went down with an injury. The Panthers won their first eight conference games before Boyd’s injury but lost two in a row immediately after. Downers Grove North won the conference. Seniors Jade Wright and Nnenna Ezem have been carrying the load since Boyd went down. West opens against York, which is beat twice during the regular season, and could see Downers Grove North in the regional final.

Nazareth Class: 3A Regional: Timothy Christian Sectional: Glenbard South Seed: No. 4 First game: 6 p.m. Tuesday vs. No. 13 Timothy Christian or No. 20 Instituto Health Sciences Charter Outlook: The Roadrunners always play a tough schedule, largely due to the tough East Suburban Catholic Conference. Nazareth hopes being

Seniors Jules Raimondi and Katelyn Cahill are two key players for the Roadrunners, which earned the best seed (No. 4) in the Timothy Christian regional.

St. Joseph Class: 3A Regional: Westinghouse Sectional: Glenbard South Seed: No. 6 First game: 8 p.m. Feb. 19, vs. No. 11 Clemente Outlook: All-conference seniors Kietta Saunders and Chanel Brown lead the Chargers by both averaging double figure points.

Playoff facts

Lyons Township won 14 regionals and five sectionals from 1989-2005, but hasn’t won a regional since. Riverside Brookfield is in search of its first Class 4A regional title. The Bulldogs won 3A regionals in 2010 and 2011 before being moved up to 4A beginning last season. Morton last won a regional in 2003. Nazareth is the only team in the area that won a regional last season. St. Joseph won regional titles from 2009-2012 before falling in a regional semifinal last season.

semifinal against Clemente. In fact, all five of St. Joseph’s leading scorers are seniors. If the veteran squad gets past Clemente, they will likely see No. 3 Marshall in the regional final.

BSL

No. 11 Hinsdale South Outlook: The Bulldogs fell short of defending the Metro Suburban Conference title, but considering the youth on the squad they’ve had a successful regular season. RB’s leading scorer is freshman Samantha Bloom, a quick guard with a killer 3-point shot. In addition, 6-foot-5 freshman Dana Rettke and physical 5-foot-10 junior Janae Dabney give the Bulldogs a difficult frontcourt to match up with. After losing a regional final on their home floor last year, the Bulldogs host a regional again this season and open against No. 11 Hinsdale South, a guard oriented team that was third in the West Suburban Gold. No. 3 Kenwood, which has wins over area teams Hinsdale South, Glenbard West, Oak Park-River Forest and losses to Wheaton Warrenville South and Benet, is the top seed at the regional.

DRAWING WITH MARK! Happy VaLentine’s Day! Decorate this card with your choice of colors, and maybe sparkles, too. Then cut along the dashed line and give to someone to wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Perhaps you’ve heard this classic Valentine’s Day poem, and maybe you’ve even read it to someone you love. This Valentine’s Day, work on making your own version of the poem. It can be funny, silly or sincere. Just have fun with it. Start out with “Roses are red” as the irst line. This sets up the poem for your readers so they know to expect your own version of this classic form. Write four lines. Four lines is the common form this poem uses, so stick to that. Keep it short and silly! Part of the charm of this form is that it is short, sweet and to the point. Each line should have between four to six syllables — use seven only if you have to. be creative. The classic form uses a color on the second line, but you don’t have to. Instead of a color, you can use another descriptive word on that line — sight, sound, taste and feeling all work in place of a color. Rhyme it. Rhyming this poem keeps it feeling light, fresh and musical. Traditionally, you should use words that sound the same at the end of the second and fourth line of the poem (“blue” rhymes with “you” in the original). You can also rhyme lines three and four.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Food trends Celebrity chef Elizabeth Falkner, a multiple award-winning chef, and restaurateur and Bravo and Food Network personality who currently serves as executive chef of Corvo Bianco in New York City, points to these top food trends to watch in 2014: Bolder fusions: Earlier iterations of the fusion trend focused on combining ethnic styles of cuisine. In 2014, the trend will focus on unique flavor combinations that transcend ethnic themes. a fresh take on tea: Falkner also predicts the culinary world will continue to explore creative ways to use tea as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. Not just for sipping anymore, tea is a natural ingredient that’s finding its way into rubs, broths and marinades. Upscale comfort food: Grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, tomato soup, franks and beans — foods we grow up with have taken root in the American psyche as comfort foods that warm our souls as much as they fill our bellies. This year, comfort food will continue to go upscale as chefs take basics like mac and cheese and update them by adding high-end ingredients like sauteed salami, peppers, onions and sun-dried tomatoes. One of Falkner’s favorite takes on the trend is Grilled Cheese Caprese made with several different cheeses, such as fior di latte and fontina, basil and pickled tomato jam. super seaweed: A nutritional powerhouse, seaweed will make its way into more recipes this year, Falkner predicts. Look for varieties like dulse, kelp, combu, hijiki and nori to appear as ingredients in dishes from desserts to main courses. Falkner uses hijiki seaweed to create an Asian-style coleslaw that’s super-healthy, easy to make and a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Beyond beef: Chefs are stepping up to meet Americans’ taste for alternative proteins by incorporating a variety of options into their menus. In 2014, you’ll find goat, rabbit, quail, sweetbreads and pigeon on restaurant menus.

A potato

Redux

Individuality ;quals gr;at;r cooking and flavor vari;ty By Linda Bassett more Content Now

Our mothers and grandmothers thought of all potatoes as interchangeable. They’d bake or boil whatever they found in the grocery store for dinner. That grocery store didn’t offer many choices, just the same mealy Russets, waxy red-skinned tubers and gnarly spuds from Maine, earth still clinging to them, week after week. Fast forward a couple of generations, and we have learned to get better flavor and texture if we treat potatoes as individuals. We don’t need to settle for only three or four variations. The produce section of the supermarket heaps up a revolving rainbow of potatoes every week, including yellow Yukon golds, white creamers, Peruvian purples and sandy brown Russets. And sizes from new potatoes as small as pearl onions to Russets as nearly large as footballs. (OK, I exaggerated.) Writers have dreamed up entire cookbooks featuring nothing but potatoes. We still like to pair them with sour cream and bacon, but we can apply those ingredients to Yukon golds turned into potato soup instead of plain-old baked Russets. We still mash them, but know we can avoid peeling if we use pretty red-skinned potatoes. And we can skip the butter and cream in those mashed potatoes, getting them to equal deliciousness using golden olive oil and a few cloves of garlic instead. Today’s cooks feel confident enough to experiment with grandma’s scalloped potato recipe, adding two extra cheeses to her basic white cheddar while sticking with her Idahoes, now better than ever thanks to improved agricultural techniques. I’ve used blue and Parmesan

cheeses with the cheddar here, but I’m not afraid to shake up my own recipe with a little gouda or smoked Havarti or asiago. Three hot potato recipes follow:

Olive Oil and Garlic Mashed Potatoes makes 6 to 8 servings n 3 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, skin on n 3 large cloves garlic, inner skin on n 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus additional if needed n salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Bring the potatoes and garlic to a boil in a pot with enough water to cover. reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Drain. return potatoes only to the pot, cooking for just a minute or two to evaporate extra moisture. Transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl. squeeze the garlic from the skins; add to the potatoes. Beat with an electric mixture until fluffy. (Do not use a food processor.) Then beat in the olive oil. season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Roasted Potato Soup with Sour Cream and Bacon makes 4 to 8 servings n 4 thin-skinned medium potatoes, e.g., Yukon gold, skin-on, sliced 1/4-inch thick n 2 t olive oil n salt, ground black pepper n 6 thyme sprigs n 6 slices bacon, coarsely chopped n 1/2 cup sour cream n 2 t minced chives Heat oven to 375 F. Toss the potatoes in oil and a half teaspoon salt. spread them on a rimmed baking sheet; bake uncovered until tender, 35 minutes. Transfer to a pot. Pour 1 cup boiling water into the baking sheet; swirl to deglaze, then pour the water into the pot with potatoes. Add 5 cups boiling water and thyme sprigs; cover tightly and set aside for 1 hour. meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp. set aside to drain on paper towels. remove and discard thyme from the pot. Puree the potato mixture until smooth, adding more water if too thick. Add salt and pepper. reheat the soup over low heat.

Pour the hot soup into bowls. Dollop with sour cream; sprinkle with bacon and chives.

Scalloped Potatoes with Three Cheeses makes 12 servings. A cook actually can hold potatoes for about 30 minutes before bringing them to the table: Let them stand at room temperature. Cover and re-warm in 375 F oven, 20 minutes. n 3/4 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar n 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese n 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan n 4 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds n salt, pepper, to taste n 1/4 cup finely chopped onion n 3 t all-purpose flour n 1/2 stick butter n 3 cups whole milk Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly butter a baking dish. mix cheeses in a bowl. Arrange half of potatoes in baking dish, overlapping slightly. sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. sprinkle onion over, then four. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. sprinkle half the cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, salt, pepper, butter and cheese. Bring milk to a simmer. Pour milk over potatoes (it will not cover completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids may look curdled). sprinkle potatoes with cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deeply golden, about 45 minutes. Let stand about 15 minutes before serving.
