Do you have any good Passover recipes? I need ...?

Q: vegetable side dishes and fruit dishes and desserts :) maybe a few kid friendly foods, too ... Also, do you have any hints on how to decorate the table? I am using light greens, crystal blue and purple colors, but wonder what to put in the middle along with the candles. Should I use ribbon? any info will be helpful. I have 4 church tables to decorate, all connected and we have the candle menorah (correct spelling?)

A: well, one thing that my kids grew up eating, and loved (and looked forward to having, only on passover, all year long) is this variation on letcho you'll need to decide the amounts, it can be made as a dish for 2, or 20, just depending on the amounts...(though, for more than 8 or so, i'd do it in batches) thinly slice: onions, potatos, peppers, and tomatoes... then, in a large deep pot, heat kosher for passover oil, and sautee the onions... when they start turning a golden brown, add the potatoes. when they are soft-ish, and starting to turn color, add the peppers.. and when they are getting soft, add the tomatoes... you need to stir the pot, with each addition, and once or twice after each addition. add a small amount of additional oil, if it starts being absorbed and getting dry. you'll generate some liquids, which should evaporate... don't salt this in advance, or you'll have a stewed mess. it should be the consistancy of home fries or cottage fries. i started making this because we didn't like the flavor of any of the kosher for passover ketchups, and potatoes are a passover staple (and there's a limit to how many times i was going to make mashed potatoes!) i hope you enjoy! now, as to the table... i'd leave off the tchotchkes.. but, that's just me... how big is your table?? how much room do you have??? you might want to consider filling a glass or crystal bowl with water, tinting it with food coloring, and floating some flowers in it... or scattering some decorative glass stones, used in vases, and found in craft stores, along the table around the candles... you can get them in many colors and mix, match or otherwise coordinate with your existing color scheme.
