BEST BREAKFAST POTATOES EVER

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
• Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
• Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.

BEST EVER POT ROAST WITH BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Take out your meat; let your meat come up to room temp. LIBERALLY season with sea salt and fresh black pepper.
• 2. Pour some olive oil into a pan. Heat on med-high until almost smoking. Put your onion quarters in and brown on all sides (you want a nice deep golden color). When browned, remove and put in bottom of Crock Pot.
• 3. Next add a little more oil if needed and put your carrots into the pan making sure everything gets a nice color as well. Remove when evenly browned and add to Crock Pot.
• 4. Add the last of your oil and let it heat up. While your oil heats, dredge your beef through your flour making sure it's evenly coated.
• 5. Sear the meat on all sides, about a minute or two, getting a GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious) color.
• 6. Pull out your meat and lay it on top of your onions and carrots.
• 7. Add your rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the Crock Pot.
• 8. Mix your pot roast packet into your 2 cups of stock and stir until well combined then add to your Crock Pot. (The liquid should come up about halfway on the meat.)
• 9. If there is a lot of oil left in your pan, dump some of it out. Add your red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wisk for all those little cooked on yummy bits (that's where a lot of your flavor will come from). Reduce it by about half, then add it to you Crock Pot.
• 10. Set your Crock Pot on high and cook for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. You can leave it on low and it will keep going or, after 4 hours on high I usually turn it down and let it go another hour.
• 11. Boursin Mashed Potatoes! In the last 45 min of cooking get a big pot of SALTY water boiling. Wash all of your potatoes well. Stab all over with a fork. DO NOT PEEL.
• 12. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until tender (falling off the fork when stabbed).
• 13. Strain the potatoes really well.
• 14. Put the milk and butter in the microwave and heat until milk is hot and butter is melted.
• 15. Add the potatoes back to the pot and get out your electric mixer. Mix until most of the really big pieces are broken down.
• 16. Add the milk/butter mixture a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
• 17. I like these specific potatoes a little lump because they really stand up to the pot roast.
• 18. Add 4 OZ of Boursin at the last minute and stir in while potatoes are hot. Season to taste.
• 19. Try to separate the pot roast into manage pieces, either take it out and cut it or just separate it in the Crock Pot.
• 20. It should be tender enough that it just falls apart to the touch.
• 21. I serve it up with a big scoop of potaotes in the center of the plates and put pot roast and veggies and gravy right on top. Garnish with some chopped green onion if you so desire. DEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS =)

BEST EVER ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• The day before, tip the potatoes into a large pan of salted water and simmer for 10 mins or until just tender, saving a little of the cooking water. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to cool. Now here's the trick; choose the two chunks that are most cooked and ready for mashing and push these through a potato ricer, then add a little of the cooking water to make a thick potato batter. Roll the cooled potatoes through the batter then put in the fridge on a tray lined with non-stick paper and chill overnight.
• The next day, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Take a large roasting tin and add a good splash of vegetable oil. Place in the oven and heat for a few minutes, then carefully add the potatoes to the hot fat and turn to coat. Lightly season with salt and roast for 40 mins without disturbing, then turn the potatoes and turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and continue to roast the potatoes for another 20-30 mins, turning again once, until beautifully crisp and golden all over.

BEST ROAST POTATOES EVER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F, 200 C, gas mark 6; peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized halves or chunks.
• Put the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with cold salted water and bring to the boil; drain the water off as soon as it comes to the boil - this step isn't to cook the potatoes: it heats them through so they start roasting more quickly - return the potatoes to the hot pan and dry them over the heat (it is important that the potatoes are dry for roasting, otherwise they are likely to stick to the baking tray).
• Slide a large baking tray into the oven to heat up for a few minutes, add the vegetable fat to the potatoes in the hot pan and let it melt; turn the potatoes in the melted fat until they are shiny and well coated, then tip them onto the hot baking tray.
• Place the tray in the oven for about 45 minutes; add the bay leaves, if using, 15 minutes into the cooking time; turn and baste the potatoes a few times during cooking.
• To serve, lift the potatoes from the baking tray with a slotted spoon, sprinkle with sea salt if desired: NOTE - if you are unable to serve the potatoes immediately, do not cover them (they'll loose their crispiness); instead keep them warm in the oven until you are ready.

"BEST EVER" GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Half runners have the very distinct feature of a string that runs down both sides of the bean...i find it easiest to snap off one end of the bean and pull the string down then snap the other end and remove the string on the other side....This will help you remove most of the strings but you will never get them all so don't get frustrated...small price to pay for the end result! So, step one is to snap off the ends and remove the string and break the beans into halves, or thirds...then put them in your kitchen sink and run water over them to wash them off
• 2. Dice up your onion and remove the skin off of a 1-2 lb chunk of jowl bacon...salt pork can also be used but I prefer the jowl bacon...slice the jowl in about 1/4 in. slices...put your bacon grease or lard in a large stock pot on med. hi heat, add your jowl bacon and let it get kinda brown on the edges and fry up a little bit...add diced onion at this point as well...Saute onion for about 5 min.
• 3. Put all of your beans into the stock pot, add water just up to the top of the beans (do not cover completely), add salt & pepper (I use about an 1/8 of a cup each of the salt and pepper for optimum flavor but you can adjust according to your dietary allowances and taste. Cover and bring to a hard boil then turn heat down and just cook with a steady light boil on about medium for approximately an hour.
• 4. While the beans are cooking boil your potatoes. Tiny potatoes are rare at the grocery store though the earliest new potatoes at the farmers market can be just this small. I would pick out the smallest red-skinned potatoes available, of similar size so they cook evenly. Cook them whole,(you can peel them if you want, but it can be tedious with potatoes of a very small size) then cut into halves or quarters when tossing with the butter. In a large sauce pan boil till fork tender....drain and add the stick of butter to the potatoes...when melted and your beans are done dump the potatoes (with butter) over into the bean pot and stir...Adjust seasonings and Enjoy!!
