This was supposed to be a recipe for potato patties, but they didn't hold together too well - fortunately, it makes a really yummy mashed potato side :)
Refried Potatoes
5 lbs yukon gold potatoes, cubed
1 8oz package cream cheese
4 tbsp butter
1/2 onion, grated
generous dash pepper
olive oil
Peel and boil potatoes until crumbly (about 10-15 minutes). In bowl of mixer, place potatoes, cream cheese, butter, onion and pepper. Mix on low speed until creamy. Chill thoroughly. Heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Place potatoes in pan, spread evenly, and fry until bottom turns golden. Flip potatoes and fry until bottom is golden. Stir and serve.

Chicken Stew
Hoping to get into more slow cooker cooking since I'm spending way too much time in the kitchen lately. Here's a recent favorite.
Chicken Stew
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed or shredded
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 cup green peas
1 cup brown rice (or 1/2 cup brown rice + 1/2 cup wild rice)
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp marjoram
dash savory
dash pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Add chicken, rice and veggies to slow cooker. Cover with broth and wine. Top with spices. Cook on low for 7 hours or high for 4 hours. In the last 30 minutes, add cream of mushroom soup and stir well.
*When I'm in a hurry, I'll often add a bag of frozen mixed veggies instead of carrot, celery and peas.
