Evas Potatoes Recipes

EVA'S POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saute pan.
• Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Spread the potatoes evenly in one layer over the bottom of the saute pan.
• Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper over the potato slices.
• Heat over medium high heat until a nice golden brown crust forms on bottom of potatoes.
• Degalze the pan with white wine and add the chicken stock.
• Cover and cook over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed and the potatoes are tender, add more chicken stock if needed.

ROASTED BABY POTATOES WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes into a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the herbs, garlic, and oil together until blended, and then pour over the potatoes. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Transfer the potatoes to a heavy large baking dish, spacing them evenly apart.
• Roast the potatoes until they are tender and golden, turning them occasionally with tongs, about 1 hour. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a decorative platter and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and herbes de Provence, if desired. Serve hot or warm.

DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon baking mat.
• Lay the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet and place into the oven until slightly dried on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and process through a ricer or food mill. Allow to cool in a bowl for about 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, butter, a couple generous pinches of salt, a generous pinch of pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and 3/4 cup cream. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Taste and make sure the potatoes have been adequately salted.
• Transfer to a large pastry bag and pipe through a large star tip in a circular/upward spiral motion onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Make an egg wash by mixing the whole egg with the remaining 1/2 cup cream. Lightly brush the piped potatoes with the egg wash. (This is a little easier if you chill the piped potatoes for half an hour or so.)
• Bake until golden brown around the edges. Serve on a pretty platter!
