Pioneer Womans Fluffy New Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and toss them to coat. Roast until the potatoes are tender and the skin is slightly crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Use a spoon or small scoop to remove the insides, leaving a small margin of potato intact.
• To the scooped out potatoes, add the Monterey Jack, cream cheese, sour cream, chives, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until the mixture is totally smooth. Give it a taste and add more salt if necessary.
• Scoop the mixture into the potato shells. At this point you can cover and refrigerate them until dinnertime. When you're ready, bake the potatoes in the oven until golden brown on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Take the potatoes out of the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, then melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in it. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute or 2 to cook out the raw flour, but do not let it color. Whisk in the milk, making sure to get out all the lumps. Add the broth and whisk again if there are still lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack, sour cream and Cheddar. Add the hash brown potatoes and mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan. Put the potato chips and Parmesan in a bowl and crush the potato chips. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the potatoes.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
• Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
• Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Rinse and dry the potatoes; place potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and massage to coat. And don't get too attached- you know how this will end.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Set aside for 15 minutes.
• Place the sour cream, cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chives, pressed garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
• Cut each potato in half lengthwise.
• With a spoon or melon baller, scoop out inside of the potatoes, leaving a very thin rim of potato inside the skin.
• Add the potato pulp to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
• Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash the ingredients together until fluffy and smooth.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning; be sure to salt it adequately.
• Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.
• At this point, you can flash freeze the potatoes if you want:
• Stick the pan in the freezer, uncovered, and allow them to harden on the outside for about 20 minutes or so then simply throw them into a couple of large Ziploc bags, seal tightly, and freeze until you need them.
• When you're ready, bake the potatoes in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven until thoroughly warmed through.
• The potatoes will soften, "melt", and fill the potato shells as they bake. Yummmmmm.
