Pommes De Terre A La Parisienne Parsleyed Potato Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and let air dry.
• Coat a large saute pan with clarified butter. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and season with salt. Saute until the potatoes are golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• When ready to serve, remove from the heat and stir in the butter and parsley.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. If they are ''new'' potatoes, there should be at least 24. Leave them whole. If they are large Idaho potatoes, cut each of them into four equal-size pieces.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size. Do not overcook.
• Drain and add the butter and parsley, turning the potatoes gently in the butter until they are coated.

Steps:

• Cut rounded balls from the potatoes using a melon baller. They should be around 1 inch in diameter. Plan to serve 5, or 7 per person. (use the remaining bits of potato for soup, or mashed potatoes).
• These can be made the day before. Put them in cold salted water, covered, in the refrigerator.
• When ready to cook, drain and pat dry.
• Saute the potatoes over medium heat in the oil and butter in a large frying pan.
• Stir or shake often. Continue to saute until they are done. (fork tender) this should take 20 - 25 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and the garlic. Saute for another 2 minutes. Don't let the garlic burn!
• Add chopped parsley, and serve on individual plates.

Steps:

• Pat potatoes dry if very starchy or moist. In a sauté pan large enough to fit potato slices in just two layers, spread 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Starting in center, arrange potato slices in a closely overlapping, attractive spiral. When pan is filled, repeat to make a second layer.
• Place pan over medium heat and cover. Slowly cook potatoes until well browned on underside, about 15 minutes, occasionally shaking pan gently to avoid sticking. Wipe inside of lid as needed to keep it dry.
• Press potatoes down with a flat spatula and remove from heat. Place a larger platter over pan and flip it upside down, transferring potatoes to the platter. Check pan to make sure it is clean and has enough oil to keep potatoes from sticking.
• Slide galette, raw side down, back into pan, and return to medium heat. Cover and cook until well browned, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a persillade by combining parsley and garlic in a small bowl. To serve, slide galette onto a serving platter, season to taste with salt, and garnish with persillade or thyme.

Steps:

• In a large pan, saute the shallots and garlic slowly in the olive oil until caramelized.
• Add the fingerling potatoes, stock, and some salt and pepper.
• Cover pan and simmer slowly until the potatoes are tender, approximately 1/2 hour.
• Arrange on serving platter. Remove herb leaves from stalks and garnish the potatoes.
• Ooolala!
