Best Boiled Baby Red Potatoes With Olive Tapenade Recipes

BOILED RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add clean red potatoes to a large sauce pan and cover with cold water. You want the water to be at least 1" above the red potatoes.
• Heat on medium high heat and boil the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until a fork can be easily stuck into the potatoes. If the skin begins to peel off, the potatoes are done.
• Drain excess water (carefully, its hot!) from the baby red potatoes.
• Place drained red potatoes into a large bowl with pats of butter, minced garlic, and season with salt and black pepper.
• Use a spoon to mix well until butter is completely melted.
• Spoon red potatoes into a serving dish and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley herbs.

BOILED BABY RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium size sauce pan and cover them with water. Bring them to a boil and continue boiling until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and carefully place them in a large bowl. If you dump the potatoes into the bowl, they will break and the skins will rub off the potatoes.
• Add the butter and with a soft spoonula or spoon, toss them gently until all the potatoes are well covered. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Serve warm with extra butter for dipping. Enjoy!

SMASHED POTATOES WITH TAPENADE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients for tapenade. May be refrigerated up to one week in a tightly sealed container.
• Put potatoes in a saucepan with vinegar, bay leaf, peppercorns, salt and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and continue to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are soft. Drain. While still warm, place potatoes in a dishtowel and gently crush with the flat of your hand on a hard surface.
• Heat a seasoned griddle over medium-low grill or stovetop until a drop of water sizzles on surface. Place potatoes on griddle and cook without moving until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate with a wide spatula. Top uncooked side with 2 tablespoons tapenade, pressing it into potato. Put potatoes back on griddle, tapenade side down, and cook another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

BOILED BABY RED POTATOES WITH OLIVE TAPENADE

Steps:

• 1. Bring 6 cups water, potatoes, and salt to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with knife, 10 to 15 minutes. 2. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water. Drain potatoes and return them to pan. Combine tapenade, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons cooking water in bowl. Add tapenade mixture to potatoes and fold gently to incorporate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons cooking water as needed to adjust consistency. Transfer potatoes to serving bowl, sprinkle with parsley, drizzle with oil, and serve.

BOILED RED POTATOES (WITH HERBS)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
• Wash the potatoes. Dice them into 3/4 to 1″ wide bite-sized pieces if they're large, or cut them in half if they are small (you can also boil baby red potatoes whole). Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and boil 12 to 15 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork (you may need longer if boiling whole).
• Drain and remove the potatoes to a bowl. Gently toss them with the butter, herbs, fresh ground black pepper and ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (or more or less to taste: add salt until the flavor pops!).
