Potato-Kohlrabi Cakes with Strawberry & Spinach Salad

Last night's dinner was one of those times where I had a bunch of random stuff and didn't know what to do with it. But it turned out great.

Potato-Kohlrabi Cakes
10-12 small potatoes
3 kohlrabi
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 T butter
4 T fresh cilantro (or other herbs), chopped

Quarter potatoes & kohlrabi and boil till soft. Meanwhile saute shallots in olive oil. Drain potatos & kohlrabi. Mash with butter, shallots & cilantro, salt & pepper to taste. Heat a little more olive oil in your shallot pan, and form the potato-kohlrabi mixture into small patties. Brown on either side. Serve right away.


Strawberry-Spinach Salad (from the Smith & Hawken Gardener's Community Cookbook)
1 bunch spinach, roughly chopped
2 cups of strawberries, sliced

"Kentucky" Dressing (slightly adapted)
1/4 c vegetable oil
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c sugar
1/2 T finely chopped shallot
1 T poppy seeds
1 T sesame seeds
2 drops worcestershire sauce

Mix all ingredients with whisk. Drizzle over salad.
