ROASTED BABY POTATOES



Roasted Baby Potatoes image

Quick and easy recipe for roasted baby potatoes. Bake them at the same time as you cook your main dish! Can also be used as a quick appetizer! These were so good you don't even need butter or salt to taste. Made the mistake of having them done before the main dish and they were almost all gone by the time dinner started!

SIMPLE BRAISED POTATOES



Simple Braised Potatoes image

One doesn't usually think of braising as a technique for cooking potatoes, but one should. It's so easy, and yields the same comfort quotient of the mashed sort without all of the peeling, boiling and mashing. Onion, garlic and your choice of thyme or rosemary give them a little oomph. As with all potato dishes, don't forget to season well with salt.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds potatoes (roughly 4 medium to large spuds)
3 tablespoons butter
1 diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 sprig of thyme or rosemary, more for garnish
Salt and pepper
About 2 cups chicken, turkey or vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes, then cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a deep skillet or broad pot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, onions, garlic, a sprig of thyme or rosemary, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until potatoes begin to turn golden, 10 minutes.

CRUSHED BABY POTATOES WITH SARDINES, CELERY AND DILL



Crushed Baby Potatoes With Sardines, Celery and Dill image

Boiled potatoes are great to keep on hand for out-of-hand snacking and as a quick addition to things like a skillet full of chicken fat or a midday lunch salad, but also excellent as a foil for rich, fatty, tinned fish. In this recipe from "Nothing Fancy" (Clarkson Potter, 2019), the potatoes are crushed because it allows the chunkiness (which lends texture) to coexist with the more broken-up pieces (which lends creaminess). Plus, those exposed craggy edges are here for maximum lemony, scalliony, salty dressing absorption.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound potatoes, preferably small, waxy potatoes, such as golden creamer or fingerling
Kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill or parsley, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
4 scallions or spring onions, white and green parts, or 1 bunch chives, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a bias
1 cup celery leaves or tender leaves and stems of fresh parsley
1 (4-ounce) tin sardines, (2-ounce) tin anchovy fillets or other fish, torn or cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until they're completely tender, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size of the potato. Drain and let sit about 10 minutes or so, until they're cool enough to crush with your hands or another implement.
  • Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, 1/4 cup dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest and half the scallions in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and more lemon juice to taste, as needed.
  • Scatter the potatoes and celery on a large serving platter or in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the olive oil mixture over.
  • Top with the celery leaves, remaining scallions, more dill and more black pepper. Serve with sardines or anchovies alongside or scattered over the top, if desired.
