Crispy Baby Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until just fork tender, about 10 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the potatoes.
• Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Add parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to the hot oil. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until potatoes are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

Steps:

• Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl until coated. Arrange in an even layer, cut side down, on two rimmed baking sheets. Roast potatoes, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until crisp and golden brown on the bottom, about 25 minutes. Serve with Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook for 8 minutes so they are tender but still slightly firm. Strain and let them cool. When they are cool, cut them in half and carefully scoop out the insides using a teaspoon or melon baller to form a cup. (Reserve the scooped out insides for Round 2 Recipe Shrimp and Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Bacon Dressing).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the potato cups into a large bowl, add the oil, rosemary and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Carefully toss the potato cups to coat them with the oil. Arrange the potatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet and bake until the cups are browned and crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are baking, put the bacon into a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp. Drain the bacon well on a baking sheet lined with a brown paper bag. (Reserve 2 pieces of bacon for Round 2 Recipe Shrimp and Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Bacon Dressing.) Chop the remaining 6 pieces.
• In a bowl stir together the sour cream, mustard, 1 tablespoon chives, the chopped bacon, and salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the potatoes onto a serving plate and fill each with a spoonful of the sour cream and bacon mixture. Garnish with the remaining chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes.
• Boil potatoes about 15 minutes or until just tender, and drain.
• Coat with olive oil and let cool until cool enough to handle.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Using the flat bottom of a small saucepan gently press down on each potato until it flattens slightly and the skin splits
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I prefer kosher salt.
• Bake for 20 - 30 minutes until the potatoes are browned to your taste.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes.
• Place them in a sauce pan and cover with water.
• Boil until soft (approximately 20 minutes).
• While potatoes are boiling put olive oil, garlic cloves (cut in large pieces), rosemary and garlic salt in heavy skillet.
• Heat the oil on low until potatoes are done.
• When the potatoes are done remove them from water and dry on paper towels.
• Increase the skillet heat to medium and remove garlic cloves.
• Add potatoes to skillet and saute about 10 minutes or until just browned, turning occassionly.
• To serve remove potatoes to a serving bowl, pour remaining oil over them and dust with chopped parsley and grated romano cheese.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10 mins until tender, then drain and leave to steamdry. While the pork is resting (see left), lower the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Drizzle half the oil over a flat, sturdy baking tray and tip in the potatoes. Add the fennel seeds, and season with the flaky sea salt and some black pepper, tossing everything to coat. Gently squash the potatoes with a potato masher to just break the skins. Drizzle with the extra oil and bake for 45 mins until crispy and golden.
