Rosemary Potato Soup With Crispy Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Dump the potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for at least 1 hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
• Add potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
• Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh rosemary)until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
• Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium-to-large-sized soup pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add potatoes, 2 cups of the water and rosemary. Bring to boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and can be pierced with a fork. Remove from heat.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until no lumps remain. (You could also use an immersion blender or a regular blender. This will make the soup smoother.) Add remaining 2 cups of water. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until thickened and to your desired consistency, stirring frequently.
• Crispy Carrots:.
• In a 10 inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil gets hot. Add the carrot ribbons, a few at a time, to the hot oil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack or paper towels and immediately sprinkle with the kosher salt.
• Spoon soup into serving bowls and top with the crispy carrots and sprinkle with some black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F and generously oil 2 large baking sheets.
• Arrange potatoes in 1 layer on sheets. Brush tops with oil and sprinkle with rosemary and salt and pepper to taste.
• Roast potatoes in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and edges are crisp, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, heat olive oil and saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add potatoes, vegetable broth, and water to the pot. Bring to boil and reduce to medium heat.
• Let potatoes cook until tender, about 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove 2 cups of the potatoes and set aside.
• Puree the remaining potatoes with an immersion blender or put potatoes in a blender or food processor.
• In a small sauce pan, melt butter.
• Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes.
• Whisk in milk, bring to a boil and simmer until thickened.
• Slowly stir into large stock pot with the pureed potatoes.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Stir the 2 cups of potatoes back into the soup.
• Stir in feta cheese and fresh rosemary. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a 4 or 5 qt Dutch oven, melt butter over med heat. Add onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent but not brown. Add potatoes, 2 cups water, and rosemary. Bring to boiling, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are fork-tender (abt 20 mins). Remove from heat.
• With potato masher, mash potatoes until no lumps remain. Return to Dutch oven. Add remaining 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer abt 10 mins, until thickened and desired consistency, stirring often to prevent sticking.
• While soup is simmering, in a 10" skillet melt oil over med-high heat. Add carrot ribbons, a few at a time, to hot oil. Cook for 1-2 mins or until crisp. Transfer to cooling rack or paper towels, immediately sprinkle with salt.
• Spoon soup into serving bowls; top with crispy carrots and sprinkle with coarse-ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cover potatoes with 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Boil until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and immediately toss in a bowl with oil and rosemary. (Potatoes will break apart slightly.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, flipping once, until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat an 8-inch baking dish cooking spray.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and garlic together in a bowl.
• Slice 3 or 4 potatoes using a mandolin on the thinnest setting. Slice remaining potatoes using a slightly thicker setting on the mandolin.
• Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with thin potato slices, overlapping them to create a layer that is 2 to 3 slices deep. Stand remaining thin slices along the sides of the baking dish so that half an inch sticks over the rim, overlapping them to create a layer that is 4 slices deep.
• Spread 1/3 of the thicker potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top. Repeat once more. Arrange remaining potato slices in the baking dish. Reserve 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour. Pour in milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in salt.
• Shift potato slices in a few places with a knife to create wells for the sauce to flow through. Pour sauce evenly over potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top. Brush potato edges sticking out of the baking dish with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are soft and edges are crusted, 60 to 75 minutes.
