Dill Mashed Potatoes With Crème Fraîche And Caviar Recipes

Steps:

• Place 2 pounds small red potatoes and 4 smashed garlic cloves in a pot; cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water; drain. Mash the potatoes with 1¿2 cup each cooking water and buttermilk, 3 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons chopped dill and 2 sliced scallions, adding the remaining cooking water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cover potatoes with water; cook until very tender. Drain; mash with milk. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Wash potatoes and place on 2 lightly oiled cookie sheets. Bake for about 30 minutes.
• Cool potatoes before handling.
• Trim either end of each potato and then cut in half, leaving trimmed edges on the end to allow potatoes to sit upright. Using a small melon baller, scoop out inside of each potato half, leaving at least 1/8-inch edge.
• Fill pastry bag, fitted with a star tip, with creme fraiche. Fill each scooped-out potato half with piped creme fraiche.
• Garnish top of each potato with red or black lumpfish roe.

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.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until very tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Return potatoes to pot; mash over low heat until almost smooth. Add crème fraîche and butter; whisk until smooth and fluffy. Stir in dill. Season with salt and pepper. (Potatoes can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat, stirring frequently.)
• Top potatoes with caviar and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the garlic all over the inside of a 3-quart baking dish, then mince it. Grease the dish with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
• Slice the potatoes about 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well). Combine in a large saucepan with the minced garlic, the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, the half-and-half, creme fraiche, flour, thyme, mace, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chives and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, shaking it to distribute the potatoes evenly. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 hour 5 minutes, occasionally spooning some of the liquid over the top. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
• You can also make the scalloped potatoes in individual ramekins; bake about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a food mill, ricer, or bowl.
• Mash the potatoes through the food mill, ricer, or by hand into the pan. Stir in the low-fat milk, buttermilk, and dill warm over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/2 cup of olive oil, rosemary, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Coat a small roasting pan with the remaining olive oil and put the potatoes in the pan, cut-side down. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden on the outside.
• Let the potatoes cool slightly and then arrange on a serving platter. Serve the potatoes with the creme fraiche, caviar, and chives for self-service hors d'oeurves. This goes great with champagne. If you wish, spread each potato with a 1/4 teaspoon of creme fraiche and 1/2 teaspoon caviar instead of dipping.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 15 minutes, or until tender.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic until tender.
• Drain potatoes, and return to the pot. Pour in the cream, and mix in the onion, garlic, and dill. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F. and brush 3 large baking sheets generously with some oil.
• With a mandoline or other manual slicer cut 1 potato crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Immediately arrange slices in one layer on 1 baking sheet and brush with some remaining oil. Sprinkle potatoes with dill and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake slices in middle of oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes, and with a metal spatula immediately transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat procedure with remaining potatoes and baking sheets in same manner. Potato chips may be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Top potato chips with 1 teaspoon each of caviar and crème fraîche or sour cream, side by side.
