There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Testing - Chilli Potatoes

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/mexican-potatoes

1 - We liked them, but I did not keep notes, therefore it remains at the testing phase.
2 - I must have added salt the first time 'round because this second time, there was no flavor coming out!

800g potato, cut into cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
½ tsp salt
½ tsp mild chilli powder
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne pepper
soured cream, to serve

  1. Boil the potatoes for 5 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion for 8 mins. Add the garlic and spices, then fry for 2 mins more.
  2. Drain the potatoes and tip into the onion mix. Turn up the heat and shake the potatoes around so that they are all covered. Cook for 10 mins more until tender, then serve with soured cream, sprinkled with a little cayenne.
