Here is the ramp before I get started with it!
I cut off the stems of the ramp first!
This is how much of the ramp I will use!
Here are the stems that I've cut off the ramp!
These are the stems you may want to also use!
After cutting into 1/4" pieces, I fry the ramp in olive oil.
I love to use virgin olive oil :: this is Tera!
I love to use red potatoes over any other kind!
I add the cubed red potatoes to the ramp.
I season with garlic salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, and a little pepper.
I cover and fry at a lower heat until potatoes are done.
The ramp and red potatoes are great served with a variety of meats.
The RECIPE for ramp and red potatoes ...
It's basically as easy as following the pictures above!
Ingredients:
1 large ramp
5 medium red potatoes
4 Tbsp. of olive oil
Dash of garlic salt
Dash of cayenne pepper
Dash of paprika
Dash of black pepper
Directions:
Thoroughly wash the ramp. Cut off the bulb root end. Cut off the stalks to the light greenish area. You may opt to use the inner most stalks too.
Cut the ramp into 1/4" pieces. Add olive oil to your frying pan and fry the ramp about 10 minutes on a low heat.
Wash the potatoes and cut into bite-size cubes. Add to the ramp. Season with a dash of garlic salt, paprika, cayenne pepper [to suit your taste], and black pepper.
Cover and fry on a lower heat for up to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the potatoes from getting too brown.
Serves 4+ people. And, is great the next day as leftovers!
Bon Appetit!: The flavor and aroma are hard to beat -- it's a cross between garlic and onion!
Great cookbooks about leeks and other onions!

Martha Stewart likes cooking with ramp!
Here are some of her recipes ...
- Ramp Polenta
- Lift ramps out of the water, drain in a colander, and pat them dry with paper towels.. Add ramps, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ramps are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Grilled Ramps with Asparagus
- Trim and discard the root hairs from ramps. Arrange ramps and asparagus on the hot grill in a single layer. Grill ramps quickly to make the most of their wild, earthy flavor.
- Spaghetti with Ramps
- This delicious recipe for spaghetti with ramps comes from chef Mario Batali.

- I have ALWAYS wanted to try ramps. I got some today for my birthday! What an amazing birthday present!! I think mine are younger than yours, though, because they're as thin as young scallions and the leaves on mine are nice and tender. I was told to cut the very tip of the bottom off and that I could eat the rest. Tomorrow for mother's day I'm having ramps and potatoes with free range eggs sunny side up and homemade bread. Mmmmm!!!!

- We used to collect wild ramps when we lived in southwestern Pennsylvania and used them in things like soups and homemade tomato sauce. There was even a ramp festival not far away in W. Virginia, but I never made it down there. It was really popular, I heard.
