Smashed Fingerling Potatoes With Onion Dip And Caviar Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan and cover with cold water. Place over medium heat and bring to the boil. Simmer until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes, then drain.
• Smash the potatoes with a potato smasher for a minute or so to break them down a little. Add the butter, sour cream and heavy cream, then mix thoroughly. Stir in the bacon, green onions and grated cheese. Season to taste. Serve hot, topped with some extra green onions for garnish.

Steps:

• Bring 2 inches of salted water to a boil in a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes and season with salt. Cover and steam until the potatoes are totally tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (Check one of the smaller ones after 8 minutes to see how tender it is; you should be able to insert a fork into it easily.) If you don't have a steamer basket, boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the steamer and let them cool slightly. Using the bottom of a bowl or cup or the palm of your hand, smash the potatoes until they're just crushed to expose the inside, but not so much that they fall apart. You're going for maximum crispy surface area here.
• Heat the chicken fat (or olive oil or peanut oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes in a single layer (work in batches, if you need to) and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook until both sides are very browned and very crispy, about 5 minutes per side.
• Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon or spatula and transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Add the butter to skillet and let it melt and foam. Add the onion rings in a single layer and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook, swirling skillet occasionally until the onions have turned golden brown and started to crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, swirling the skillet a few times to combine. Pour the onions and any butter in the skillet over the potatoes and top with flaky sea salt and parsley.

Steps:

• Boil the fingerlings in a pot of salted water until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and then spread the fingerlings out on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Cover with a sheet of parchment or wax paper and then baking sheet. Press down on the baking sheet to squash the fingerlings to a 1/3-inch thickness. Set aside to cool completely.
• Combine the wing sauce, cider vinegar, agave, hot sauce and sriracha in a bowl. Mix well.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy pot.
• Working in batches, fry the smashed fingerlings until golden and very crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. (It's OK if they break up a little; it just means more crispy edges!) Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the BBQ sauce.

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Lightly scrub potatoes. In pot of boiling, salted water, cook potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• On cutting board, and using bottom of heavy saucepan, gently smash each potato until slightly flattened but not falling apart. Transfer to baking sheet. (Make ahead, Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours).
• Drizzle with half of the olive oil, sprinkle with half each of the salt and pepper. Roast in 450F oven for 15 minutes.
• Turn potatoes over; sprinkle with remaining oil, salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crispy, about 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Slip the potatoes into a large pot of cold water, and bring to a boil. Add a few large pinches of salt, and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and let cool for about 20 minutes.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, place them on a sheet tray and gently press them down to flatten. (It helps to use the edge of a large clean chef's knife, pressing the potatoes down flat one at a time, until they flatten to a 1 1/2-inch thickness.) Drizzle on the olive oil, and add the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Gently toss until the potatoes are well coated.
• Heat your grill to medium heat. Remove the potatoes from the sheet tray, and grill them until they are golden brown and crisp, about 4 or 5 minutes per side.
• Remove the crispy potatoes to a platter. Give them a taste, and add more salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
• NOTE
• The trick here is to not overboil your potatoes. You don't want the potatoes to crumble and fall through your grill grates!
