"Scarborough Fair" Savory Potato-Carrot Loaf and Giveaway

This potato loaf sets beautifully while baking and doesn’t fall apart when you slice it. It is utterly delicious too! Serve this for breakfast, as a side dish, or as an any-time-of-day snack. This is a must try.

I served mine as a side dish for a leisurely brunch. The potato-carrot loaf paired well with the poached egg and marinara sauce. But what I really love about this recipe, it can be made the day before and reheated in the microwave. I also think this potato loaf would be delicious fried until crisp.

For those that require Peace and Harmony in their lactose intolerant stomach, I suggest Green Valley Organics Lactose Free. Unlike other lactose free options there is no compromise on taste. They're simply delicious by any standard. And to prove it, Green Valley Organics has given me a prize package to give away. It contains a T-shirt baring their logo, a tote bag baring their logo, 7 (8 ounce) yogurt coupons, 2 (24 ounce) yogurt coupons. WOW... that's $20.00 worth of Green Valley Organics. The only catch is they are only available at Fresh Markets and Whole Foods. To enter you must live in the USA, you must be a follower, and you must leave a comment.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds potatoes
1 medium carrot
2 eggs
1/2 cup corn oil or vegetable oil
1 cup Green Valley Lactose Free sour cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped sage
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
1 teaspoon salt

A pinch of ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Put the potatoes and the carrot in a medium saucepan and fill it with enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Do not overcook - the vegetables should be cooked through but should not be mushy. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel off their skins. Cut the flesh into medium dice. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 380 degrees. Grease (you can use butter, vegetable oil spray) the bottom and the sides of 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, using a balloon whisk, stir the eggs to mix. Add the oil and stir to blend. Add the yogurt and stur again. Add the flour and baking powder. Stir to mix. Toss in the diced vegetables and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Gently stir in mix. (Note: there is no need for a vigourus beating, so do not use a mixer).

4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour, or until golden on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Unmold the loaf from the pan and slice. Serve at room temperature or chilled. This loaf will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. 

Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).
Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).
Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).

Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears).
Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill).
And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
