HERBED NEW POTATOES
Steps:
- Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook! Toss with the herbs, and serve hot.

Steps:
- Cover potatoes with water then add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium/medium-high heat; cook until just tender. (Do not overcook or they will fall apart in the sauce.) Drain some of the water off, if needed, so that the potatoes are only about half covered. Stir 1 1/4 cups of the milk into the potatoes and bring back up to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup milk and the flour until completely smooth. Once potatoes are boiling again, pouring in a thin stream while stirring rapidly, add the flour mixture to the potatoes and cook until thickened on medium/medium-low heat, stirring frequently. If sauce is not thick as preferred, it can be adjusted by whisking together a little more milk and flour and stirring it into the potatoes and sauce. When thickened, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add butter and cover the pot until it melts. Serve with fried pork chops or baked ham and fresh, hot cornbread!

- Cover potatoes with water then add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium/medium-high heat; cook until just tender. (Do not overcook or they will fall apart in the sauce.)

OVEN-FRIED PATATAS BRAVAS (CRISPY POTATOES WITH TWO SAUCES)
Served with spicy salsa brava and garlicky allioli, crispy hot patatas bravas are traditionally served in tapas bars throughout Spain. The salsa brava is made with pimentón, the smoked Spanish paprika sold as picante (hot) and dulce (sweet). Some cooks include a lot of chopped tomato, but my friends in Madrid tell me they prefer this version, which looks a bit like rusty gravy. As for the allioli, you can mount it by hand with a whisk, or use a stick blender as most Spaniards do. Though patatas bravas are typically pan-fried on the stovetop, I came up with this easier, oven-fried method. The potatoes emerge beautifully browned and crisped, and their flavor is sensational cooked in extra-virgin olive oil. This is not fancy fare. Grab a fork and dip the hot potatoes in both sauces for the optimal experience.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Put potato chunks in a large bowl, season generously with salt and toss to coat. Leave for a few minutes to let potatoes absorb salt. Add olive oil and unpeeled garlic cloves and toss to coat well. (Don't skimp on the oil; it can be strained and saved after cooking for future use.)
- Transfer potatoes (and garlic cloves) and oil to a large cast-iron skillet or heavy roasting pan. Make sure to have potatoes in a single layer without crowding. (If necessary, use two pans.) There should be a good 1/2-inch oil in the bottom of the pan. Add more if required.
- Place pan in oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until potato chunks are well browned on the bottom. With a metal spatula, carefully turn chunks over. Reduce heat to 400 degrees, and continue roasting until potatoes are well browned and crisp, about another 15 to 20 minutes.
- While potatoes are roasting, make the two sauces: For the salsa brava, put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and let sizzle without browning, then stir in flour and let mixture sizzle. Stir in tomato paste, pimentón dulce and pimentón picante, then add chicken broth gradually, stirring well as the sauce thickens. Bring to a gentle simmer, add vinegar and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce has a gravylike consistency, but isn't too thick. Thin with a little more broth or water, if necessary. Season with salt to taste.
- For the allioli, put egg yolks and garlic in a mortar or small bowl and whisk together. (Alternatively, use a mini food processor or stick blender, see note.) Add oil a few drops at a time, whisking vigorously with each addition. As the sauce thickens, add olive oil a teaspoon at a time. If the aioli gets too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon water, then continue to whisk in remaining oil. The finished sauce should have the consistency of softly whipped cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When potatoes are ready, use spatula to transfer to a pan lined with paper towels to blot, then to a warm serving dish. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve warm with the two sauces.
MAMA'S AMAZING CREAMY POTATOES
My mother use to make the best red potatoes in a thick creamy white sauce. The best I remember she simply boiled the potatoes until tender and then she added whole milk and flour to make a white sauce. She seasoned with salt and pepper. I loved these potatoes and especially loved crumbling a piece of cornbread up and spooning...

Steps:
- 1. Cover potatoes (in an appropriate size pot) with water. Add boullion cube, butter, onion flakes and celery (and a little salt). Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and cook until potatoes are tender but not mushy (7 to 8 minutes). I use red potatoes because they are a firmer potato.
- 2. Combine flour and just enough cream to make a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in remaining cream. Once potatoes are tender, pour cream mixture into potatoes and continue cooking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3. NOTE: serve as a side dish or load it with shredded cheese, crumbled fried bacon, sour cream, green onion,...etc and eat as a meal.

Steps:
- 1. WHITE SAUCE: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and stir until the butter and flour are well combined. Pour in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens. Add additional milk depending on desired consistency. You may not want to use all the sauce on your vegies, depending on your taste. This recipe should have a thin white sauce.
- 2. PEAS AND POTATOES: Cook potatoes in a small amount of water for about 5 minutes. Add pearl onions and continue cooking until almost done. Add peas. Cook 2-3 minutes more. Pour white sauce over veggies and mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Small, waxy potatoes work best for this recipe. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Boil them until they are just tender, but not mushy. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should coat the potatoes evenly and not be too runny. If it is too thin, add more flour or cornstarch.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for extra flavor.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when served fresh out of the pot.
Conclusion:
New potatoes in white sauce are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. The creamy sauce and tender potatoes make them a comforting and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish perfectly every time.
