GRILLED YUKON GOLD POTATOES WITH THYME AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Before grilling the potatoes, blanch them. Put the potatoes in cold water and add salt. Bring water to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are tender.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
• Slice the potatoes lengthwise and add to a large mixing bowl with the thyme, garlic, and olive oil. Season with gray salt and pepper and toss to coat the potatoes well. Grill the potatoes over indirect heat for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until well marked and fully cooked.

GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL SMASHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Steam potato wedges until very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 5 tablespoons oil in large skillet over low heat. Add garlic; sauté until golden, about 6 minutes.
• Add potatoes and thyme to skillet. Mash coarsely. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and serve.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CRéME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in center. Bake potatoes directly on rack until darkened slightly, beginning to wrinkle, and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (depending on size).
• Working one at a time, immediately wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and slam down onto a countertop (this ensures a light, fluffy texture). Slash potatoes to open, season, and top generously with dollops of crème fraîche and scoops of caviar. Serve immediately.

YUKON GOLD POTATO KNISHES WITH OSETRA CAVIAR

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook at barest simmer until a skewer glides easily through potatoes, about 1 hour. Drain potatoes, cool slightly and peel. Run potatoes through a food mill and into a bowl. Grate onion on the large holes of a box grater directly into bowl with potatoes. Season with plenty of salt and some pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup creme fraiche. Cool to room temperature. (Potatoes can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
• Set one wrapper on a work surface with one corner facing you. Spread scant 1/4 cup potatoes about 2 inches above bottom corner so that potatoes form 1-inch-wide strip that extends almost from one side of wrapper to the other. Fold bottom corner of wrapper over potatoes. Roll wrapper, folding in sides to enclose potatoes. When you get three-quarters of the way to the top, brush remaining edges with beaten egg and continue rolling to seal. Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling. (Knishes can be refrigerated, uncovered, for up to 1 day.)
• Heat 1 inch oil in a large, deep saucepan until very hot but not quite smoking, about 375 degrees. With tongs, add several knishes, and fry, turning once or twice, until golden brown all over, about 1 minute. Remove from oil, and drain on paper towels. Fry remaining knishes in batches.
• With serrated knife, trim a thin slice from either end of each knish. Cut each knish crosswise into three pieces. Arrange pieces, with one cut side up, on a platter. Top each piece with a dollop of remaining creme fraiche and a little caviar. Serve immediately.

CRISP GARLIC YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the gold potatoes on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for 45 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until crisp and lightly browned; do not let the garlic get too brown or it will be bitter.
• Pour the garlic and oil over the potatoes, add the parsley and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
