Maple Glazed New Potatoes Recipes

MAPLE-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, and slice each half crosswise into 1-inch-thick half-moons.
• Melt butter in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes; toss to coat evenly. Add maple syrup; toss potatoes to coat, and bring to a boil.
• Transfer skillet to oven; cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden, well glazed, and tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with thyme.

MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN AND CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 15 minutes. (This is a good time to start the chicken.)
• Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large skillet (not nonstick). Gently flatten the potatoes so the skin bursts but the potatoes still hold together (see Cook's Note).
• Drizzle the olive oil all over the potatoes and set the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle all over with the seasoned salt and gently toss to coat.
• For the chicken: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet and make sure it gets very hot. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with the seasoned salt. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Without flipping the chicken over, bake until firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part (avoiding the bone) registers 165 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. (This is a good time to finish the potatoes.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and flip the chicken. Brush the skin with the maple syrup. Drizzle any of the remaining maple syrup over the chicken.
• For the salad: Whisk the vinegar, garlic, mustard, maple syrup, salt and olive oil together in a medium bowl until combined; season with pepper. Set aside so the garlic can infuse the dressing, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic and lightly toss the lettuce with the dressing in the bowl.

MAPLE CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• To cook the sweet potatoes, wash them and prick all over with a fork. Wrap in foil and bake in a 375-degree oven until very tender. This can take anywhere from 50 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending upon the girth of the potato. Thinner ones cook more quickly. Cool. Peel just before using.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small pot, combine syrup, cider, butter, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until somewhat thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour syrup over sliced sweet potatoes and bake, uncovered, until bubbling and brown, 25 to 40 minutes.

MAPLE-GLAZED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Halve or quarter any large potatoes.
• In shallow dish large enough to hold potatoes in a single layer, toss potatoes with butter; season with salt and pepper.
• Spread in single layer and roast potatoes, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring once or twice during roasting.
• Meanwhile, in small dish, stir together vinegar, maple syrup, and sliced garlic.
• Drizzle potatoes with vinegar mixture, gently tossing with a spoon or spatula to coat.
• Continue to roast about 10 to 20 minutes more, until potatoes are fork-tender and glazed, stirring once or twice.
• To serve, sprinkle potatoes with green onions, thyme, and lemon peel. Makes 6 servings.

MAPLE-GLAZED PARSNIPS AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel and cut parsnips as directed above; then cut on a diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet (or two smaller baking sheets), toss parsnips and sweet potatoes with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer. Roast until tender and golden, tossing once or twice, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup and mustard. Pour over vegetables; toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Set 2 oven racks in the middle and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 rimmed half-sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
• In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and maple syrup, making sure they're all evenly coated. Sprinkle with the salt, cinnamon, pepper and orange zest, and, using your hands, toss the vegetables to coat them evenly in the oil and spices.
• Transfer to the baking sheets. Roast, switching the baking sheets on their racks and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking, until the largest piece of squash is tender all the way through, about 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Take turns placing each baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the vegetables. Serve hot, warm or cold tossed in salad.

MAPLE GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
• Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
• Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.

MAPLE-GLAZED SWEET POTATO WEDGES WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick.
• In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and salt. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between the pieces. (Use two baking sheets if you need to).
• Bake for 20 minutes, then drizzle with the maple syrup, toss, and return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the wedges are deeply brown on both sides.
• Once you've tossed the potatoes, place the bacon on an unlined sheet pan. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until crisp and cooked through. Place on a paper towel to drain (pour fat from the sheet pan into a jar and store in your refrigerator to use later, or discard), then chop into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with sweet potato wedges and the remaining teaspoon maple syrup. Garnish with flaky salt and serve immediately.
