Just had some of these for dinner. They were cooked with olive oil and rosemary. They were sooo good.



(Yes another food thread).

Love them when they're red potatoes, with just a dash of sea salt and pepper, too.

You slice up the potatoes fairly thin, place them in a pan. fill up with sour cream and then bake. you can add garlic cloves under the slices.
One of my mother's best dishes.

Sounds like Au Gratin(sp?) potatoes. Worth a try.

psychodelicide said:

That sounds just delish!

I bet you must feel a little tired now, huh?

morningsong said:

I love Au Grautin potatoes. My dad used to call them "all rotten potatoes".

Moonstar319 said:

A little tired? How so? The potatoes were already made, so I just had to heat them up in the oven.

I fucking love roasted potatoes.

They say that potatoes, especially baked are supposed to make one drowsy. I always get tired after a baked potato.

Top 10 Sleep-Inducing Foods
The following foods can make getting a good night's sleep a dream come true:
Almonds: Almonds contain both tryptophan, an amino acid that acts as a sedative, and magnesium, which acts as a muscle relaxant.


Bananas: Bananas contains melatonin and serotonin, chemicals known to help the body sleep, as well as magnesium.


Chamomile Tea: Chamomile tea's mild sedating effect has helped many restless people fall asleep.


Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are bursting with omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are natural mood lifters and can prepare your body and mind for sleep.


Honey: Consuming too much sugar before bedtime can keep you awake. However, eating just a little glucose before hitting the sack alerts your brain to stop producing orexin, a neurotransmitter that keeps us alert. Add a little honey to your tea or milk prior to bedtime.


Milk and Dairy Products: Milk and dairy products contain tryptophan and calcium, both of which help the brain effectively use tryptophan.


Oatmeal: Oatmeal contains melatonin, which prepares your body for sleep. To up its effectiveness, make your oatmeal with milk and top it with a drizzle of honey.


Potatoes: Eating a small baked potato or a small serving of mashed or roasted potatoes will clear your body of acids that can block the effects of tryptophan.


Turkey: As many Thanksgiving diners know, turkey contains tryptophan. To get the most from the tryptophan in turkey, eat a slice of white turkey meat on a slice of whole-wheat bread in the middle of the evening.
Whole-Wheat Bread: Eating a slice of whole-wheat bread will trigger your body to release insulin, which can help deliver tryptophan to your brain. Once in your brain, the tryptophan is converted to serotonin.

To increase the sleep-inducing properties of whole-wheat bread, drizzle it with honey or wash it down with a glass of milk.
