Catalan Potatoes

These potatoes get a generous dose of garlic from both chopped garlic and garlic-infused oil. If you cook this dish in a nonstick pan, you can use less oil. Active Time: 20 Minutes Total Time: 55 Minutes Yield: Serves 6

½ cup olive oil
3 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1 large Spanish onion, diced
1 lb Idaho potatoes peel slice ¼’ thick
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
4 plum tomatoes, peel, seed, and dice
1 tsp salt; more to taste
½ tsp black pepper; to taste

Heat an 8- or 9-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil and add the whole garlic cloves. Cook the garlic until browned, about 8 min. Discard the cloves.

Add the diced onion to the pan. Sauté in the oil until light brown, about 12 min. Remove the onions from the pan with a slotted spoon.

Add half of the potato slices to the oil. Top them with an even layer of the onions, chopped garlic, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Top with the remaining potato slices.

Cook the potatoes until browned, about 15 min., and then turn the potatoes over, pressing down on them with a spatula. (You don’t have to turn all the potatoes at once; the potato cake will still keep its shape.) Continue cooking until the underside is brown and the potatoes are tender throughout, about another 15 min. Slide from the pan onto a serving platter and serve immediately.

Darphin (Paillasson) Potatoes - Also known as Rosti Potatoes
by Jacques Pépin - Episode 101: Savory Staples

Darphin (Paillasson) Potatoes

Literally translated, paillasson means “doormat.” Raw potatoes are shredded, pressed into a nonstick pan, and cooked to create a compact cake that is excellent with any kind of roast or on its own with a salad. The dish, also called pommes Darphin, after the chef who created it, is similar to what the Swiss call rösti potatoes.

If you are reluctant to attempt flipping the compacted potato cake over in the skillet with a spatula, loosen it (it should be a solid mass) around the edges and underneath, cover the pan with a flat lid or plate and, holding the lid in place, invert the pan. Then slide the potato cake, crusty side up, back into the skillet to cook on the other side. Serves 4

24 Oz baking (Idaho) potatoes
2 Tblsp corn oil
1 Tblsp unsalted butter
4 whole scallions, trim, mince (½ cup)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Peel the potatoes and, using the large holes of a box grater, shred them. (You should have about 4 cups.) Squeeze the potatoes gently with your hands to remove some of the liquid.

Heat the oil and butter in a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet until hot. Add the potatoes, scallions, salt, and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes, until the potatoes are well mixed with the seasonings. Press on the mixture with the back of a spoon to compact it, cover, reduce the heat, and cook gently for about 12 minutes.

Flip the potato mixture over and cook it for 10 minutes on the other side.
Invert it onto a serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve.

**************************

Fingerling Potatoes with Bacon

The secret to this simple dish is to use the best quality bacon available. Serves 6


2 lbs. fingerling potatoes
6 slices thick-cut lean bacon
1 garlic clove, peel, mince
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Kosher salt, to taste


Cut 6 slices thick-cut lean bacon crosswise into ½"-thick pieces. Put bacon into a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet and gently cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is pink but not crisp, 35–40 minutes. Meanwhile, put 2 lbs. fingerling potatoes (cut larger potatoes in half crosswise, leaving smaller ones whole) into a medium pot.

Add 2 large pinches salt, cover with cold water, and boil over medium-high heat until soft, 10–15 minutes. Drain well and add to skillet with bacon. Add 1 minced peeled garlic clove and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and cook about 5 minutes more.

Papas Chorreadas - Colombian Potatoes with Cheese Sauce


Papas chorreadas is a delicious Colombian specialty. Boiled red potatoes are smothered in a rich cheese sauce seasoned with onions and tomatoes. The verb chorrear means to flow or pour - the sauce in this dish is meant to be "gushing" over the potatoes.

The simplest form this dish has only six ingredients: red potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cream, and a melting cheese like mozzarella. Many recipes call for scallions, cilantro, cumin, or chile peppers - feel free to experiment with flavors. Although not traditional, a garnish of crumbled bacon seems like a good idea. Serves 4-6 people as a main dish


6 Oz whole milk Mozzarella, or other salted white cheese that melts well
3-4 lbs red potatoes
3 shallots or 1 small white onion
1 bunch scallions
1 tsp chile powder (optional)
½ tsp cumin
3 Tblsp butter
1 Tblsp flour
2 medium tomatoes, diced
¾ cup cream
¼ cup chopped cilantro


Scrub the potatoes and place in a large pot boiling, salted water. Boil until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly.

Finely chop the shallots or onion. Chop the white part and a inch or two the green part the scallions into ½ inch lengths. Finely chop the rest the green parts the scallion and reserve for a garnish.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Sauté the ½-inch pieces scallion, the shallots, the cumin, and the chile powder in the butter until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes and cilantro, and cook until the tomatoes are soft and fragrant. Add the Tblsp flour and stir briefly.

Stir in the cream and cheese, and heat until sauce just comes to a boil and cheese is mostly melted. Remove from heat.

Slice potatoes into halves or wedges, and arrange potatoes onto a platter. Pour sauce over potatoes. Garnish with chopped green onion.
