Cranberry And Thyme Potato Salad Recipes

RED POTATOES AND THYME

Steps:

• In a deep, medium skillet, bring water to a boil. Add quartered potatoes and simmer 12 minutes, until fork tender. Begin other recipes in your menu.
• Drain potatoes in a colander set over a pot. Allow the stock to cool and refrigerate for another use. Return the pan you cooked the potatoes in to heat over medium high. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter, then, when butter melts add potatoes. Season potatoes with salt, pepper and chopped thyme. Coat and brown the potatoes, turning only occasionally, 7 or 8 minutes.

CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, orange, mint, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse just until chopped but not watery, 12 to 15 times.
• Whisk cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl to stiff peaks. Add yogurt and continue whisking until stiff peaks form again. Gently fold in cranberry mixture and pecans, just until combined and no streaks of white remain.
• Transfer to a 2-quart serving dish or individual serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Serve chilled, dolloped with whipped cream, and, if desired, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND DELICATA SQUASH WITH CRANBERRY AGRODOLCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss squash, sweet potatoes, and oil in a very large bowl. Add red pepper flakes and 2 tsp. salt and toss to combine. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet with 12 thyme sprigs. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until squash is golden brown and fork-tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cook cranberries, vinegar, sugar, and remaining 3 thyme sprigs and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries are soft and sauce is thick and syrupy, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer vegetables to a platter, then drizzle some agrodolce over. Serve remaining agrodolce alongside.

LIME AND THYME POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a covered large saucepan, cook potatoes in enough boiling salted water to cover for 10-12 minute or just until tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile, for dressing, in a large bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime peel, lime juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the cooked potatoes; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill for 6 to 24 hours.
• To serve, if the salad seems too stiff after chilling, stir in a little milk to moisten. If desired, garnish with lime peel and additional fresh thyme.
