Pit Stop Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Put the butter, rosemary and red pepper flakes in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Add the potatoes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper and toss together.
• Put the potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking dish in a single layer (a glass baking dish should not be used at this temperature). Bake until the potatoes are a deep golden brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until a deep golden brown on the second side, another 15 minutes. Add the chicken broth and garlic and continue to bake until the potatoes are soft and the liquid is almost completely reduced, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter.

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:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to reach 300 degrees F.
• For the potatoes: Lay out 2 pieces of parchment paper on top of 2 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, making an X. Add the potatoes to the center along with the rosemary, garlic and olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper, then bring up all 4 edges of the foil. Pour in the white wine and seal the foil and parchment, making a packet.
• Place the potato packet onto the indirect heat side of the grill. Close the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the grill when ready and set aside. They will keep warm in the packet.
• For the steak: Mix together the kosher salt, pepper and chopped rosemary. Season the steaks liberally with the seasoning mix, patting down to ensure the seasoning really sticks. Place the steaks on the indirect side of the grill, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 110 to 120 degrees F, or rare, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the steaks from the grill, then carefully remove the grill grate and set aside.
• Brush the steaks with olive oil and place directly onto the coals. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the desired temperature. Remove the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the potatoes into a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Slice the steak and serve together with the potatoes.
