THE IRISH POTATOES



The Irish Potatoes image

My sister gave me this recipe years ago and it has become a staple of our holiday or 'company is coming' type of dinner. It's easy to assemble and can be prepared ahead of time. It pairs well with beef, ham, or chicken. Leftovers, if there are any, reheat well. Everyone always loves 'The Irish Potatoes.' Yes, I know 'The Irish Potatoes' are fattening, but without the butter, whipping cream, and half and half it is just not as good. Substituting margarine or frozen hash browns would be a travesty.

CREAMY POTATOES WITH CABBAGE



Creamy Potatoes with Cabbage image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt
1 small head savoy cabbage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 1/2 to 4 cups chicken broth, homemade preferred
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan along with the garlic and onions. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook the onions slowly, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until they are soft and tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage and an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cook until the cabbage wilts, about 2 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and enough broth to cover the mixture. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced by half, the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is silky and soft, 30 to 35 minutes. Using a potato masher or a whisk, crush the mixture until it loosely resembles the consistency of mashed potatoes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup oil and serve sprinkled with chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. However, Russet potatoes can also be used.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a milder flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is thickened and bubbly, but not until it is brown. Overcooking the sauce will cause it to lose its flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Creamy Irish potatoes are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Creamy Irish potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give Creamy Irish Potatoes a try!
