NEW POTATOES IN WHITE SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- 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.) Drain some of the water off, if needed, so that the potatoes are less than 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. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with parsley, if desired. Great accompaniment for pork chops or baked ham and cornbread.
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:
- Peel the potatoes, and boil them until tender. Drain, and refrigerate overnight.
- Mash the potatoes well, or pass them through a ricer until smooth. Spread the potatoes on a flat surface, and make a well in the middle. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and pour them into the center of the well. Add the olive oil and salt and pepper. Stir slowly.
- While mixing, knead in the flour and the potatoes a little at a time. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
- On a floured work surface take one-fourth of the dough, and knead until it feels smooth (about 2 to 3 minutes). Roll the dough into a log approximately 1 inch thick. Cut the log into 1/2-inch-long pieces. Dust the pieces with flour. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- To give the dough the traditional gnocchi shape, place a piece of dough over the side of a cheese grater that has three or four long smile-shaped holes. Press the dough down over the hole, and gently roll it out to give it a shell shape. (This takes a few tries to get the technique.) Repeat with all the dough.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi all at once, and stir gently so they do not stick to the pot. When they are done they will float to the top. With a perforated spoon, remove them and serve immediately, or drop them into ice water until needed, then briefly reheat in boiling water.
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium flame and add the garlic. Cook until the garlic is golden. Increase heat to high, and add all of the tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes break open. Lower heat to simmer, and cook for 30 minutes.
- About 10 minutes before the sauce is done, add the basil leaves, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently. Taste for seasonings and serve.

Steps:
- Pierce potatoes in several places with fork. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons basil.
Tips:

- Boiling the potatoes: To prevent the potatoes from breaking apart, add them to boiling water and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently until tender.
- Garlic and basil: Use fresh garlic and basil for the best flavor. Finely chop the garlic and chiffonade the basil leaves.
- Cream sauce: Use heavy cream for a rich and creamy sauce. You can also use a combination of milk and cream for a lighter sauce.
- Grated Parmesan cheese: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Seasoning: Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Serving: Serve the potatoes immediately, topped with the basil cream sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
