SWEET AND SALTY POTATOES



Sweet and Salty Potatoes image

When asked to bring a side dish to a friend's home, I like to make these sweet and salty potatoes. I first came up with these when we were living in Los Angeles, and some friends of ours invited us to sit in their box seats at the Hollywood Bowl. A wonderful venue for music under the stars, the Hollywood Bowl encourages you to arrive early and bring a picnic dinner. As Los Angeles is, according to a recent report, the worst city in the nation for traffic, I did not know how long my side dishes would have to sit in the car before dinner, so I decided that food safety would be just as important as food flavor. I decided to make something that can be eaten at any temperature, but that is still delicious.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 to 8 ounces of shallots (about 7 or 8 large ones) -if you can?t find shallots, use an equal amount of sweet onions
1 1/2 pounds of red-skinned potatoes (about 25 to 28 very small, 3/4 of an inch to 1 1/2 inches in diameter are best, though you can use an equal weight of larger potatoes)
1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup of olive oil
4 stems of fresh rosemary, each about 4 to 6 inches long
1 tablespoon of kosher salt (kosher salt will retain its crunchiness in the oven)
1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Peel the shallots, and chop them into pieces roughly 1/2 inch square. Place the pieces into a large non-reactive bowl.
  • 2. Wash the pototoes thoroughly, but do not peel. If you are using small potatoes, cut them into quarters, each in a half-moon shape. If you are using larger potatoes, cut them into quarters, then cut those half-moons in half--the aim is to end up with uniform sized potato pieces that are one-half to no more than 3/4 of an inch on any side. Place the potato pieces into the bowl with the shallots.
  • 3. Pour the balsamic vinegar and the olive oil over the potatoes and shallots. Stir to mix.
  • 4. Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems. Add the leaves to the bowl with the previous ingredients.
  • 5. Add the salt and the pepper to the bowl and stir again to mix.
  • 6. Pour the contents of the bowl into a heavy 9 inch by 13 inch roasting pan (I like to line mine with aluminum foil), or into any baking dish that will allow the potatoes to be in a single layer.
  • 7.Bake at 450 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes. I like my potatoes pretty dark, so that the balsamic vinegar gets really crunchy on the outsides of the potatoes -if you don?t want them quite so dark, either take them out earlier at the 30 minute mark, or set the oven to 375 degrees F and roast for the full time.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature. The potatoes can be reheated in the oven (400 degrees F for 10 minutes) or in a wrapping of heavy duty aluminum foil.

This sweet potato casserole is a Southern classic. So sweet and delicious.

Provided by Mark Stroginis

Time 1h55m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons salt, or to taste
¾ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups warm milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly, about 5 minutes. Peel.
  • Transfer peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a whisk attachment. Mix on low speed to begin mashing them. Add 1/2 cup butter and mix until absorbed. Add white sugar, honey, brown sugar, 1 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg; mix until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add the heated milk. Taste and adjust salt and nutmeg if needed.
  • Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon softened butter and pour potato mixture into it.
  • Pour brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for topping into a mixing bowl and mix well. Use your fingers to work the chilled butter into the mixture until it resembles oatmeal with some pea-sized pieces of butter in it. Stir in the pecan pieces and mix well. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown and crisp and sweet potatoes are set, but still slightly loose in the center, 30 to 45 minutes.
