There's a Tomie DePaola book about a boy who takes a friend to visit his Nonna entitled "Watch Out for the Chicken Feet In Your Soup".

Am going to try the potato recipe--planning to cook a roast tomorrow and that would go well. My girls have a Russian/Polish side as well as the Filipino one and are partial to potatoes. My younger one likes the ones I roast w/garlic,onions

Oh, that is my kind of recipe. (The potato one, no...

I simply must try your potato recipe tonight. They sound so good.

You mean you didn't even do an Amelia Bedelia and dress the chicken before roasting?

Somewhere around here I have a pic of a turkey, headless but clothed. It's what happens when you leave the kitchen for a bit and have too many kids around...

I am trying to get that dead chicken image out of my brain.

Wanted to thank you for the lovely valentine's day card. It was the only one I rec'd which made it extra special. :)

Chicken have feet? Shit. That's crazy.

Shut up, you are making me hungry.

I LOVE roasted chicken! But I probably would have changed my mind about making it, had it come with feet and head still attached. Yikes.

2010-02-16T22:30:51.688-05:00

My brother-in-law (the cook) made us the best roasted chicken EVER. Just thinking about it makes me drool a little. Luckily for us it didn't come to us with a head, but it did spend 36 hours in our fridge "resting" with salt and herbs.

how come we have to see the dead chicken with all ...

2010-02-16T21:04:01.348-05:00

how come we have to see the dead chicken with all its parts, and we do NOT get to see the lovely potatoes?

Hmm...I often do the potatoes in the microwave just that way, but the extra step (and the 'love child' part) has captured my interest. Also made foot-less stock this week. I've been craving sweet potatoes lately. With some sort of curry. Damn you, now I'm hungry!

2010-02-16T19:25:52.294-05:00

I'm full from dinner and still I would eat one of those potatoes if one happened by. I'll have to give that a try - tonight I was baking potato & onion slices (something I'd usually grill in foil) and they were not done along with the rest of the meal. I HATE that.

The potatoes are reminiscent of a Jacques Pepin recipe I got via an episode of Rachael Ray (weird, I know). You were supposed to braise the potatoes in stock and butter and once the liquid absorbed, squish the potatoes and let them fry. It never quite worked for me.

Your method sounds infinitely easier.

2010-02-16T18:40:02.779-05:00

Proud of the leftover chicken soup I just had made with broth from a leftover roasted chicken. No feet, but still tasty.

2010-02-16T18:05:33.332-05:00

The potatoes sound delicious, but I think I would probably freak out a little if my chicken came with head and feet.

2010-02-16T18:03:12.042-05:00

As a chicken owner, I say: I hope you scrubbed those feet REALLY WELL before putting them in your stock pot.

Just sayin'.
