POTATOES ROMANOFF

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl combine the potatoes , onion, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese (reserve about a 1/2 cup of cheese for the top), and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Gently fold in the sour cream until just combined.
• Butter a casserole dish, or individual ramekins , and spoon in the mixture. (You want as an irregular a surface as possible, with lots of nooks and crannies.)
• Top with the remaining cheese and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
• Serve and enjoy.

STEAKHOUSE POTATOES ROMANOFF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a casserole dish.
• Wrap each potato in foil and place on a baking sheet. Poke holes into potatoes using a knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until very tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let potatoes cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes. Unwrap. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Shred potatoes into a large bowl using a cheese grater. Mince shallots to get 1/4 to 1/3 cup.
• Add shallots in with the potatoes; season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne. Toss with two forks until well combined. Add Cheddar cheese and mix well. Gently toss in sour cream until barely combined. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish, piling it up high, then patting it down very lightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until piping hot and top is browned, 30 to 35 minutes.

CHEF JOHN'S POTATO ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter, reserving the rest for the potatoes.
• Slice potatoes to about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Discard end pieces that are mostly skin. Place slices in a bowl and add rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle in the remaining melted butter. Toss with your hands to evenly distribute, about 2 to 3 minutes, trying to separate all the potato slices. Grate about a quarter of the cheese over the potatoes. Toss. Add more cheese; toss again. Continue until all cheese is incorporated.
• Stack potato slices in uneven layers (to resemble flower petals) in prepared muffin tin, ending with some of the smaller pieces.
• Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes, testing with a metal skewer for doneness. Potatoes should be very soft. If potatoes look too brown but aren't yet cooked through, cover pan with foil for the final minutes of baking.
• Loosen edges of potato roses with a fork and lift out of pan to serving dish.
