Molly Yehs Roasted Potatoes With Paprika Mayo Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork. Brush lightly with the oil. Roast on a sheet tray until tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• While still hot, split the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the potato flesh into a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell all around. Season the insides of the potato shells lightly with salt and pepper. To the bowl with the potatoes, add the sour cream, half-and-half and butter. Use an electric hand mixer or potato masher and mix until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, the jalapenos and scallions. Mound into the potato shells. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

Steps:

• For the fries: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir the salt into a large bowl of cold water until dissolved, then add 1 cup ice cubes. Submerge the potato wedges and soak for 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
• Toss the potatoes in the oil on the baking sheet. Bake, tossing halfway through, until browned, about 1 hour.
• Combine the paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. When the potatoes are done baking, toss with the spice mixture and season as desired with salt and pepper.
• For the dill mayo: Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the fries.

Steps:

• Shred the potatoes and onion in a food processor or with a grater or mandoline. Place in a strainer that has been lined with cheesecloth or a damp kitchen towel. Toss with 3/4 teaspoon salt and let sit over a bowl to drain for 30 minutes.
• Gather the top of the cheesecloth and use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. Transfer the vegetables to a clean bowl; mix in the eggs, lemon juice, flour and some pepper.
• Heat 1/4 inch canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, fry loosely packed rounded tablespoons of the potato mixture until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add more oil to the pan and adjust the temperature as needed. Transfer to a paper towel?lined plate, season with salt and set aside.
