Salt Crusted Fingerling Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, water, and Kosher salt into a pot and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. With a wooden skewer, test to see if they are tender. Pour off most of the water, reserving as much salt as possible.
• Lower the heat and keep a watchful eye on the potatoes. The goal is to let the water evaporate so the potatoes are coated in salt. Be careful not to burn the salt or the potatoes. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, then remove the potatoes and let cool.
• Use a kitchen towel to wipe the excess salt off each potato, leaving only a light dusting of salt on each. Clean the potatoes one by one so the skins don't break.
• To make the dipping sauce, start by putting the garlic cloves on a skewer. Char them on an open flame. Brush off the blackened skins and roughly chop. Place the parsley and cilantro leaves, the roasted garlic, black pepper, and olive oil into a mini-blender and puree to a smooth consistency.
• Pour the sauce into a small bowl. Serve the potatoes and sauce at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat a large ovenproof gratin dish or skillet in the oven for 15 minutes. Combine salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary in a small bowl.
• Toss potatoes in a medium bowl with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with seasoned-salt mixture, and arrange potatoes in a single layer in preheated pan.
• Roast until they are golden on the outside and tender when pierced with a sharp knife 25-30 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and serve hot with additional seasoned salt on the side.

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed, wide saute pan over high heat, add the potatoes and just barely cover with cold water. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Lower the heat and continue to cook, keeping a watchful eye, so the water evaporates completely and the potatoes are left covered in salt, about 30 minutes. Once the water has evaporated, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, lightly tossing; the oil left in the pan will help prevent the potatoes from sticking. Remove the potatoes from the pan, discard the herbs and garlic and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the salt, water, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the pot to a cooling rack and let stand for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve as is or with butter, pepper, or chives.

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and set aside. Fill a large pot with water; stir in salt until it no longer dissolves and settles on the bottom. Place potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain; cover to keep hot.
• While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium high heat, or in microwave. Serve immediately poured over potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Toss potatoes, garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again until evenly combined.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and heat until melted. Add potatoes; cook and toss until evenly coated with butter, about 2 minutes. Move skillet to the preheated oven.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until soft, tossing potatoes halfway through. Remove from oven and top with parsley.

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the salt, water, and potatoes and bring to a boil.
• Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from the pot to a cooling rack and let stand for 5 to 7 minutes. The salt crystals will form on the outside of the potatoes.
• Serve as is, or with butter, pepper, chopped scallions, or Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Rub the garlic over the bottom and sides of a 12-inch-round gratin dish or a cast-iron skillet. Brush a thin layer of olive oil over the pan. Sprinkle the rosemary over the bottom of pan, and place potatoes in a snug layer on top.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the salt and flour. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup water until thoroughly combined. Pour the salt mixture over the potatoes in an even layer, making sure to fill in any gaps between the potatoes.
• Roast potatoes 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and let potatoes cool 5 minutes. Invert pan onto a serving platter or into a large bowl. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil, and serve with sour cream.
