Purple Majesty Fork Crushed Potatoes Recipes

MICHAEL ANTHONY’S FORK-CRUSHED PURPLE MAJESTY POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, cook potatoes with skins on in heavily salted boiling water until tender, approximately 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from pot, and peel them while still warm. Place potatoes in a large bowl and, using a fork, gently smash them, maintaining a fairly chunky consistency. Fold in minced shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, fleur de sel, and white pepper. Finish with parsley.

PURPLE MAJESTY FORK-CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Note: If you prefer, the potatoes can be boiled first in their skin then peeled.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the potatoes until tender, approximately 25 minutes.
• Drain.
• Place the potatoes back in the pot and using a fork, mash the potatoes.
• Fold in the remaining ingredients, sprinkling the lemon juice on top of the potatoes last.
• Did you notice what happened? The citric acid in the lemon juice "bleached" some areas of the potatoes a "lighter and brighter" shade of purple! Nifty, huh?!
• This concludes this week's science experiment.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Halve the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Cover them with water if you cut them ahead of time.
• In another bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well. Drain potatoes well and add them to the oil mixture. Toss with olive oil mixture. Spread the potatoes on a sheet pan. Roast for 30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
