Dirty Potatoes Recipes

DIRTY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400℉.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (lined with parchment for easier cleaning).
• Add the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to the potatoes and toss with your hands.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes. After about 25 minutes, turn each potato over so that both sides bake to a golden crispy brown.
• While the potatoes are roasting, in a small pan sauté the onions and mushrooms in one teaspoon of olive oil or butter for about 3-4 minutes - just until the mixture starts to turn a slight golden brown.
• Add the pureed or minced olives to the sauté pan of onions and mushrooms. Stir together and warm together over medium heat. Voilà! You have made "dirt"! Set this aside until the potatoes are done.
• When the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the outside remove from the oven and add to a serving bowl. Add the "dirt" to the potatoes and gently toss together. Serve warm.

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

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.

SALT AND VINEGAR ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, kosher salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, pour the oil and vinegar mixture over them, and toss well. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down.
• Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes, tossing potatoes two or three times during roasting process.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the cooked potatoes and toss. Season to taste, and add more vinegar if desired. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and chives, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
