Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound mixed small Yukon Gold and red new potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Fleur de sel or sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 17 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a skewer. Drain the potatoes and place on a sheet pan. With a potato masher or metal measuring cup, press each potato until it's about 1/2 inch thick (they will be messy). Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the skins have become nicely browned. Sprinkle the potatoes with the Parmesan cheese and roast for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Sprinkle the potatoes with the chives and fleur de sel and serve hot.

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds red potatoes (large or baby)
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped chives or fresh thyme, oregano, Italian parsley or dill (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for boiling)
Other seasonings: Grated or shredded Parmesan cheese, Pecorino cheese, or feta cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  • Wash the potatoes. Dice them into 3/4 to 1″ wide bite-sized pieces if they're large, or cut them in half if they are small (you can also boil baby red potatoes whole). Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and boil 12 to 15 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork (you may need longer if boiling whole).
  • Drain and remove the potatoes to a bowl. Gently toss them with the butter, herbs, fresh ground black pepper and ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (or more or less to taste: add salt until the flavor pops!).

Tips:

  • Choose the right variety of potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or Red Bliss are best for boiling because they hold their shape and don't get too mushy. Russet potatoes can also be used, but they may fall apart more easily.
  • Scrub the potatoes well before boiling: This will remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Drain the potatoes well before serving: This will prevent them from becoming waterlogged.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Boiled potatoes are best served hot and fresh.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Boiled potatoes can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, salt, pepper, chives, sour cream, or gravy.

Conclusion:

Boiling potatoes is a simple but versatile cooking method that can be used to create a variety of delicious dishes. Whether you are serving them as a side dish, a main course, or an ingredient in another recipe, boiled potatoes are sure to please everyone at the table.
