I have a very old, falling apart book, which has war recipes in it. If you would like to try one I will see if I can find what looks to be difficult!
Haha, I have to tell you, there are such things as pastry made with potatoes and such! as there was a shortage of so many things...on the plus side, ingredients will be easier to get! Are you willing to cook most things? Theres some strange recipes by my reckoning...or maybe we just dont cook this kinda stuff regularly now

Something like a Cassoulet may be worth a try

The french have mastered the art of fries.

Try making Gnocchi with pesto creme. Gnocchi is a potato dumpling that is complicated and fun to make. use two forks instead of a gnocchi paddle. Make sure to use fresh herbs when making this dish as they will stand out in flavor.
Basic Gnocchi
6lb. russet potatoes
1lb.+ 6oz. All Purpose(AP) flour
1/4 cup fresh rosemary
3 T Salt
6oz. butter melted
1/4 cup sage leaves

If you are talking about French Fries, they are not from France they are from Belgium. They are called "French" fries for the cut...
Sorry had to, it drives me nuts when people say they are from France.

I've been through culinary school, love making pastries and most any type of complex dish..
But I have yet to make a really, really good pie crust.
