Anchovy Mashed Potatoes Recipes

MASHED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes in 1/2-inch slices. Rinse under cold water and transfer to a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by an inch and add the salt. Set over medium-high heat, cover, and bring to a simmer. Remove the lid, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
• While the potatoes cook, mash the anchovies, garlic, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with a mortar and pestle, or with a bowl and fork. Combine the anchovy mixture with the cream and warm up for a few seconds in the microwave (or in a small saucepan over medium heat) until hot but not boiling.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Add the anchovy mixture and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set the pan over medium-low heat, and mash the potatoes with a fork or potato ricer, incorporating the other ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and keep warm until ready to serve.

ANCHOVY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• In a steamer set over boiling water steam potatoes, covered, until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a large heavy saucepan cook onion in 4 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add anchovies and cook, mashing them, until they dissolve, about 1 minute. Stir in milk, cream, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and heat until hot but not boiling.
• Force potatoes through a ricer or food mill into pan and stir until smooth. Stir in chives and salt and pepper to taste.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES AND LEMONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Toss potatoes with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep). Roast in lower third of oven, without turning or stirring, until undersides are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• While potatoes are roasting, whisk together anchovies, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon oil.
• Turn potatoes over and roast in lower third of oven 10 minutes more. Toss potatoes with garlic and roast 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in anchovy mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

CRUNCHY BAKED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVY, PARMESAN AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub the potatoes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pierce twice with a fork (don't worry if some salt falls off). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crispy and insides are tender when pierced with a fork, 60 to 70 minutes.
• When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice off tops. Scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4 inch around skin; transfer potato flesh to a bowl. Add cheese, olive oil, rosemary, anchovy, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt to bowl and mash with a fork until combined.
• Stuff potato skins with potato mixture. In the same bowl, mix all topping ingredients, except olive oil, and divide among the potatoes; drizzle tops very generously with olive oil. Return potatoes to oven and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Run under broiler for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until tops are golden brown and crisp. Replace tops on potatoes if you like and serve hot.
