Golden Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Pour butter over potatoes. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, cheese and parsley. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a deep skillet and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover potatoes halfway with chicken stock, about 3 cups, add the butter and cover skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes in the stock until almost tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the potatoes. Remove the lid and allow the stock to evaporate, about another 5 minutes. Once the stock has evaporated pop each potato using a ladle or large spoon, creating a small crack in each, but do not smash. Allow the potatoes to brown on each side, another 5 minutes, and re-season with salt and pepper, if necessary or desired. Remove the browned potatoes from the skillet and place onto a serving platter, garnished with the parsley.

Steps:

• Place the oven rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk creme fraiche and whipping cream until combined.
• In a large baking dish, approximately 9 by 13-inches, arrange 1/3 of potato slices, overlapping slightly. Generously season with salt, pepper, and some fresh thyme leaves. Drop 1/3 of the cream mixture in dollops over potatoes, and spread evenly, (layer will be very thin). Repeat with another layer. Layer for a 3rd and last time, covering the top of the potatoes with the cream mixture, then mini cauliflower florets, and generously season with salt, pepper, and remaining thyme.
• Bake 30 minutes and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue to bake until top is golden brown, about 20 minutes longer.
• Do your best to let gratin rest 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Eat and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook the peeled and cubed potatoes in large pot with salted boiling water just until tender; about 15 minutes.
• Drain.
• In a seperate saucepan combine butter, soup and sour cream, heat until just melted.
• Layer in a spray coated 13x9" baking dish; potatoes, soup mixture, cheese and onions (in that order).
• Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.
• Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Steam the potatoes, whole, for 20 minutes, until they are still firm yet easily pierced with a fork. Drain.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place a potato on the tray, cut a small cross about 1/4-inch deep into the potato and crush the potato with the back of a wooden spoon to flatten into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Try to crush it just enough so it stays together with most of its skin intact. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Brush the tops of the potatoes with the oil, sprinkle with salt and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Whisk crème fraîche and whipping cream in medium bowl to blend.
• Arrange 1/3 of potato slices in bottom of prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Drop 1/3 of crème fraîche mixture (about generous 1/2 cup) in dollops over potatoes, then spread evenly over (layer will be very thin). Repeat layering 2 more times.
• Bake gratin 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown, about 25 minutes longer. Let gratin rest 20 minutes before serving. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover loosely with foil. Let stand at room temperature. Before serving, rewarm in 350°F oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°.
• Scrub the potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut each half in thirds lengthwise.
• You'll have 6 long wedges from each potato.
• Place the potatoes on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Toss all the ingredients together, making sure the potatoes are covered with oil.
• Spread the potatoes in a single layer with 1 cut-side down.
• Bake the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, turning to the other cut side after 20 minutes.
• Bake until they are lightly browned, crisp outside, and tender inside.
• Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and garlic in a medium sauce pan and cover with cold water. Add a generous amount of salt to the pan (I use 1 - 2 tbsp). Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes). Drain the potatoes and garlic. Mash them with a potato masher or pass through a ricer or food mill. Important - don't use a food processor or mixer if you don't want a pasty result.
• While mashing the potatoes, heat the cream for a few seconds in the microwave until it's warm. Add about a third of the cream to the potatoes along with a tbsp of butter. Stir until incorporated. Repeat the process two more times.
• Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. If you need to keep them warm until the rest of the meal is finished, cover and place in a 200 degree oven.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter baking dish.
• Peel and thinly slice potatoes into a large bowl and toss with butter. Spread potatoes in an even layer in the baking dish.
• Put flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a heavy medium saucepan and slowly whisk in milk until the mixture is smooth.
• Bring milk mixture just to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly (it will thicken slightly), and pour it over the potatoes. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake in oven until potatoes are tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove foil and sprinkle with cheese, if using. Reset oven to broil and broil potatoes, about 4 to 5 inches from heat, until browned and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Shred peeled potatoes with grater.
• Put shredded potatoes in colander, then rinse and squeeze potatoes under running cold water in sink for a minute or two.
• Squeeze out excess water until potatoes are fairly dry, then dump them into a large mixing bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix with hands until incorporated.
• Pat into patties the size of your hand.
• Fry with a few tablespoons butter in a non-stick frying pan until golden, turning once.
• Serve as-is or with ketchup or a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. If using unsalted butter, heat in a small saucepan over medium, skimming off white foam that rises to the surface, until butter is melted and milk solids have settled to the bottom of the pan. Spoon clear (clarified) butter into a small bowl. Discard milk solids.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. clarified butter (or ghee) in a medium skillet, preferably ovenproof nonstick or cast iron (you will need to cover it; use a baking sheet if you don't have a lid), over medium-high and add half of potatoes, tossing to separate slices and coat in butter. Cook, tossing often, until some of the slices are browned around the edges, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with another 1 Tbsp. butter and remaining potatoes; transfer to same bowl. Let cool slightly.
• Arrange some potato slices in an overlapping pattern in a single layer in bottom of skillet. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with some of the remaining clarified butter. Repeat with remaining potatoes, building a layer at a time, seasoning with salt and pepper and drizzling with clarified butter as you go. When you are finished layering the potatoes, pour any remaining clarified butter over top and cover skillet.
• Cook potatoes over low heat until barely tender, 10-15 minutes. Uncover skillet and transfer to oven. Bake until potatoes are very tender in the middle (if you have a cake tester, that's a good way to check, or use the tip of a paring knife) and browned and crisp around the edges, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Slide a rubber spatula underneath potato cake to loosen, then invert onto a platter. Season with more salt.
• Do Ahead
• Potato cake can be made 3 hours ahead. Leave in skillet at room temperature. Reheat at 350°F for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Rinse potatoes; pat dry with paper towels.
• Brush 1 Tbsp. butter onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Toss potatoes with remaining butter and 1/4 cup cheese; layer on bottom and up side of pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Loosen potatoes from side and bottom of pie plate; invert immediately onto serving plate.

Steps:

• Up to 2 days ahead, boil the potatoes for 2 mins, then drain and leave to cool.
• Thirty mins before serving, melt the duck fat in a large frying pan and add the potatoes. Start them on a high heat to get some colour, then turn the heat down to sizzle the potatoes slowly for 20 mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until completely golden and crisp.
• Just before serving, toss through the parsley and garlic, season with salt and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Rinse potatoes; drain on paper towels.
• Pat dry.
• Brush 1 T of butter onto bottom and side of 9" pie plate.
• Toss potatoes with combined remaining 2 T butter and 1/4 c cheese; arrange potato slices, in several layers, on bottom and up sides of pie plate.
• Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c cheese.
• Bake 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
• Loosen potatoes from side and bottom of pie plate.
• Invert immediately onto serving plate; sprinkle with chives.
• Cut into 8 wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into a ½-inch dice. To prevent potatoes from wobbling as you dice, cut a flat base for the potato to rest on as you make your slices. (Note: Potatoes can be peeled and diced 1 day in advance. Store completely submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours to prevent browning.) Place potatoes in a pot filled with cold salted water (as "salty as the sea"). Bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then add back to the pot. Turn heat to low and let the potatoes release additional moisture, 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat.Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Work all the potatoes through the ricer and back into the pot.
• With the pot over low heat, gently fold in butter and sour cream, mixing just enough to melt and incorporate; overmixing will result in a gluey texture. Add the milk a splash at a time, gently mixing to incorporate; repeat until you reach your desired consistency. (You may have milk left over.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; garnish with extra butter and/or freshly chopped chives, optional. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a shallow pan and cook the onions with the thyme and bay for 20 mins until very soft, then turn up the heat to medium and cook for 5 mins more until sticky and golden.
• Add the olive oil to the pan, scatter in the potatoes and fry for about 10 mins until golden. They won't crisp because of the onions but you want them soft around the edges; add more oil to the pan if necessary. About 30 secs before serving toss through the parsley and season.
