Potatoes Noisette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. To prepare the potatoes, use the small end of a melon baller to scoop out at least 24 nut-size balls of potato flesh. Heat the butter in an ovenproof pan or skillet and saute the potato balls over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
• Transfer to the oven and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown all over. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the parsley just before serving.
• ** I don't like to waste the bits of potato that are left after making the potato balls, so I shred them in the food processor and fry them into hash brown patties. I refrigerate them to eat with breakfast in the next day or so; they turn out well when I reheat them in the microwave or in a skillet briefly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Scoop the potatoes into balls, rinsing well once all are cut. The potatoes can now be dried on a clean tea towel ready for pan-frying.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in large frying pan and pan fry 2-3 handfuls of potatoes on a medium to high heat until golden brown, then transfer to a roasting tray. Repeat until all are coloured. The potatoes can now be finished in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they're tender.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the tray from the oven, add the butter and season with salt and pepper. The Noisette potatoes are now ready to serve.
