Sweet Potato Tottine Recipes

Steps:

• For the pickled red onions: Bring the vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns and 1 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan. Put the onion slices in a heatproof container and pour the hot vinegar mixture over them. Let sit for at least 1 hour before serving.
• For the sweet potato tottine: In a deep fryer or large Dutch oven, heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, heat the beef stock in a saucepan until slightly simmering. In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once the bubbling subsides, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in the flour while whisking vigorously to prevent clumps. Cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add in the hot stock while whisking. Bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.
• Fry the tots in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
• Add the tots to a bowl, place the cheese curds on top, cover in a ladleful of gravy and top with pickled red onions and fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Push potatoes through a French fry cutter, or hand cut so that pieces are uniform in size. Soak in ice water for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat a pan on medium, melt butter. Add the flour and whisk vigorously for about 8 minutes until the roux is amber colored. Remove the pan from the heat.
• In another pan, saute the shallots in olive oil over medium heat for a few minutes until the edges are crisp and golden. Add the sea salt and pepper. Deglaze with organic beef stock, add thyme, brown sugar, and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the roux and let reduce on medium low for 15 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in fresh, minced parsley.
• Heat enough peanut oil to come half-way up the side of a heavy pot to 375 degrees F, or use a deep-fryer. Strain the chilled sweet potato fries and dry them in a salad spinner.
• Using a fry basket, fry the potatoes in small batches for 5 minutes, then lay them on a wire rack, set over a paper-towel lined sheet pan to drain the excess oil.
• Place the fries on a plate, top with the cheese curds and smother with hot gravy.
