How do I submit a recipe?
I have a recipe on making potatoes. I took this recipe and some samples to a state cook off and won $2000 in first place prizes for kitchen equipment ,appliances etc. I think this has the potential to be a very good recipe if I can find out how to submit it.

Hi there, Brandon. Your question seems to sit on two stools, and that's why folks are struggling to pitch their answers anywhere near where you seem to want them to be. (looking at your supplementary)
If you want to have it noticed, you've succeeded. You won the competition. One recipe, one event, one prize. Now you could try to repeat that formula with other events, competitions or even magazine publications -- which would probably accept it in the rubric of 'very nice, dear' readers' contributions, if they did -- but the fundamental issue is that, like swallows and summer, one recipe does not a publication make.
You don't say, but if this recipe is just the first time successful tip of an otherwise previously unpublished body of culinary writing you've quietly been working on, then the picture changes. In that case you could approach the features' editor of a culinary magazine you think would fit your type of dish/cooking style/recipe, citing and offering the prizewinning recipe as the 'bait', with a related, 'themed' cull from your other stuff to back it up. Then they might be interested. One-offs are just not of value to them, nor would they be to your recipe: it would be just one among very, very many, pouring into the editorial staff's in-tray daily.
If this recipe is your one and only 'prize steer', you could always throw your hat into a bigger arena with it -- say a national versus previously a local competition -- in the theme of which the recipe fits, and see what happens.
If you're looking for major publication, you'll have to bring much, much more to the table in the form of a body of work before the editorial staff will even think of staying their hand before it disappears on to 'the cutting room floor'. I'm sure you can see their point.
All the best, and good luck!

Submit to what? Are you looking for potato cooking competitions? Recipe sites? Magazines? You're not being specific enough.
Potato cooking competitions. LOL!
There are many websites that will allow you submit your recipes, but there is no compensation.
Hate to slow your horse down before it gets to the gallop, but, I've competed in many contests and one of the requirments is to submit your recipe "before" it's accepted into competition. At the moment you submitted that recipe it now is in "public domain", sorry, anybody can say they came up with it. Ever see anyone else get published and noticed by one recipe? Your flag isn't big enough to be noticed, all the major Chef's are not noticed by one recipe, they're noticed by style. Congrats on your win, keep waving your flag.
