Salt Roasted Potatoes Shallots And Chestnuts Recipes

SALT-ROASTED POTATOES, SHALLOTS, AND CHESTNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour 1 cup salt into a 2-quart baking dish. Stand potatoes, chestnuts, and shallots upright in salt, nestled together with rosemary in between. Pour remaining 2 cups salt over top; shake dish gently to distribute evenly. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake until potatoes and shallots are tender, about 2 hours. Keep covered at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Remove potatoes, chestnuts, and shallots from dish, rubbing off any large bits of salt. Discard salt and rosemary. Slice potatoes and shallots in half (or quarters, if large) and arrange on a serving platter with chestnuts (also cut in half, if large). Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

ROASTED POTATOES AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in lowest position.
• Toss shallots with 1 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 13-by 9-inch baking pan, spreading evenly.
• Roast, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden, about 30 minutes.
• Toss potatoes with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then add to shallots.
• Roast, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and potatoes are crusty, 40 to 50 minutes.

CREAMY POTATO & SHALLOT GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat most of the butter in a shallow pan. Add the shallots, bay leaf and thyme, and cook for 10 mins until soft, golden and sticky. Pour in the cream and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat, season with nutmeg and cayenne and leave to infuse.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil, then drain. Butter a large gratin dish, then layer it up with potatoes and cream, finishing with a good ladle of cream and shallots. Use a fish slice to press everything down. You can now cover and chill it for up to a day before baking, if you like. Bake for 40 mins or until golden and the shallots are starting to crisp.

THYME & CHESTNUT ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 mins until just tender. Drain.
• Put the oil in a large roasting tin, then transfer the tin to the oven with the turkey for 10 mins. Remove the tin from the oven and carefully tip in the potatoes and thyme, turning to coat in the hot oil. When the turkey is cooked through, turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast the potatoes for 40 mins. Turn the potatoes over and roast for 10-15 mins more until golden all over. Sprinkle over the chestnuts and roast for a final 10 mins until the chestnuts are heated through.
