Potato Gruyere Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Bake half a 28-ounce bag frozen potato puffs in a 2-quart baking dish at 425˚ until crisp, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook 1 tablespoon each butter and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking, until melted. Whisk in 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 small grated garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of cayenne. Simmer until thickened, 10 minutes. Off the heat, stir in 1/2 cup grated gruyère. Pour over the potato puffs. Broil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Top with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl or mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Combine the milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Return the saucepan to the stove and cook over low heat, stirring, until the mixture comes together and pulls away from the side of the pan, about 1 minute. Continue stirring until the mixture is slightly shiny, about 4 more minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, about 1 minute. Add half of the mashed potatoes and the whole egg and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining potatoes and the egg yolks and beat until creamy and smooth, about 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Set a large piece of parchment paper on a cutting board. Pipe about 24 mounds (1 to 1 1/2 inches each) of the potato mixture on the parchment. Cut the parchment between the mounds with a paring knife so each puff sits on its own piece of paper.
• Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Working in batches, carefully invert each puff into the oil, leaving it on the parchment. The parchment will fall off as the puffs cook; remove with tongs. Fry until golden, turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; season with salt.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper in bowl until smooth. Stir in cheese.
• In 9-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter. Swirl to coat all sides. Pour in batter. Transfer to oven. Bake until puffed and dark golden, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil. Remove from the heat., Combine the flour and potato flakes; slowly stir into pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Stir in cheese., Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until soft; drain.
• Mash and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Mix in the flour.
• Form into little dumplings using two soup spoons dipped into melted butter before forming each dumpling.
• Place the puffs into a baking dish.
• Pour the cream over and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake for 10 minutes on the middle rack of a preheated 450°F.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter inside of 2-quart casserole dish with 2 T. butter.
• Start bringing broth to a boil after all of your ingredients are ready to go.
• Pat dry half of potatoes. Overlap slices on bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle with some pepper, half of onion slices, and half of both cheeses. Dot with the rest of the butter.
• Repeat layering for a second layer. Last layer isn't topped with butter, though.
• Pour boiling broth over the potatoes.
• Bake for 55-60 min or until done (potatoes are tender, top is brown and broth is absorbed).
• Great on Day 2 also.

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 425°F. Butter and flour 2 large baking sheets. Combine 1 cup water, butter, salt, and pepper in heavy medium saucepan; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Add flour and stir vigorously with wooden spoon until mixture forms smooth ball. Continue stirring until film forms over bottom of saucepan, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Beat in mustard. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in cheese.
• Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart; bake 15 minutes. Reverse position of sheets and bake until puffs are golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat water, butter, salt, and chili powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter is melted.
• Dump in flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides into a smooth ball. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes, to cool it down a bit. At this point, you can scrape the dough into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. If you don't have a mixer, let it cool in the pan, stirring it a few times to let the heat escape.
• Add eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to make sure the eggs don't cook. The batter will first appear lumpy, but after 1 minute or so, it will smooth out. After the eggs have been added, let cool until tepid.
• When the dough has cooled, stir in a generous 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese until well mixed. (If dough is not cool, the cheese will melt.)
• Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a wide, plain tip. Pipe into mounds, evenly spaced apart, making each about the size of a small cherry tomato. Top each puff with a bit of the remaining cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue to bake until completely golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray cups of two 12-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges of the onion begin to brown and caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
• Roll out puff pastry sheet into a horizontal rectangle on a large, lightly floured cutting board. Use a pizza slicer to cut pastry into 4 rows horizontally and 6 rows vertically so that you have 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press each dough square into each mini muffin cup and prick with the tines of a fork.
• Divide mushroom mixture amongst pastry cups. Top with shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle with thyme.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed up and the corners are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 3 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.
