Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
2 teaspoons paprika
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a big pinch of salt, then cover, and put over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncover, and cook just until the potatoes start to soften but are not cooked all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Shake the potatoes around to roughen up the sides and to let them dry out. Put them into a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  • Add the olive oil, grill seasoning, paprika and pepper, to taste, to the potatoes and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out onto the preheated baking sheet and roast them until they are cooked through and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time. Remove the potatoes from the oven to a serving bowl and serve.

Roasted Potatoes With Figs and Thyme image

A fall walk through New York's Greenmarket with Eleven Madison Park's chef, Daniel Humm, brought the idea for this unusual dish. Hot black tea lends a deeper flavor to dried figs, which are scattered with potatoes on a pan with thyme and then roasted. The recipe calls for fingerling potatoes, but any waxy potato will do. (And for everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound dried black mission figs or other dried figs
1 1/2 cups brewed black tea, more if necessary
2 pounds fingerling potatoes
1 head garlic
5 sprigs of thyme
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place figs in a bowl, cover with hot black tea and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight, depending on initial softness of figs.

  • Use a good quality bourbon: The quality of the bourbon you use will greatly affect the flavor of the potatoes. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: The potatoes are best served hot and fresh from the oven. They can be reheated, but they will lose some of their flavor.
