Garlic Lemon Thyme Poached Potatoes Recipes

GARLIC & LEMON THYME POACHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a casserole dish, add the potatoes, peppercorns, garlic, lemon slices and thyme sprigs with 1 tsp flaky sea salt, then pour over the oil. Put the lid on and cook for 45 mins.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven and leave to stand for 20 mins or so. To serve, remove the potatoes and garlic cloves from the oil and scatter the thyme leaves on top.

ROASTED LEMON-GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place potatoes in a 9x13-inch baking dish and season with garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Pour in water, oil, and lemon juice and mix for a few seconds with a wooden spoon to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Turn the potatoes and continue to cook until all sides are golden brown, about 25 minutes more.

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, THYME AND LEMON

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into quarters lengthwise.
• Fill a medium frying pan with about 1/4 inch olive oil and heat to very hot; add sliced garlic until browned and fragrant.
• Remove garlic with slotted spoon.
• Oil should be quite hot, but not smoking.
• Add potatoes and let sit over moderately high heat for about 2 minutes.
• Toss potatoes, and let sit 2 minutes more (this sears the outside and helps prevent them sticking to the pan).
• Continue sauteeing, tossing fairly frequently for 7-8 minutes more, until the potatoes are lightly browned all over.
• Add the unpeeled garlic cloves and toss the potatoes with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Cover pan and cook over moderately low heat, tossing occasionally, for 8-10 minutes more, until potatoes are tender.
• *Ifnot serving immediately, keep warm on asbestos mat or warming device, but do not cover pan or potatoes will loose their freshly cooked taste.
• *(Just before removing from pan, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, and correct seasoning as neccessary.) At serving time, raise heat and toss the potatoes again for a moment or two.
• Remove from pan with slotted spoon to paper bag.
• Serve with whole clove of garlic: each person can crush the clove with their fork and mix into their potatoes.

GARLIC SOUP WITH POTATOES AND POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil and 2 Tbsp. butter in a large saucepan over medium. Add garlic, white and pale green parts of leek, and thyme and cook, stirring often, until garlic is softened, about 5 minutes (reduce heat if garlic starts to brown). Add potatoes and 4 cups broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then add crème fraîche.
• Transfer soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in saucepan) and blend until very smooth; season with salt and pepper. Transfer soup back to saucepan and set aside.
• Pour water into another large saucepan to come 4" up sides and bring to a boil, then reduce heat so water is at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until whites are opaque before adding the next one (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels as they are done; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Add reserved dark green parts of leek and 2 Tbsp. water and cook, stirring often, until leeks are softened and very bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer leek mixture to a platter and top with parsley leaves and lemon zest.
• Gently reheat reserved soup over medium-low, thinning with more broth if needed; divide among bowls. Carefully place a poached egg and some leek mixture in the center of each bowl of soup and drizzle with oil.
• Do Ahead
• Soup (without eggs and toppings) can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Eggs can be poached 1 day ahead; place in a bowl of ice water, cover, and chill. Reheat gently in simmering water 1 minute just before serving with soup.
