CRUSHED NEW POTATOES



Crushed New Potatoes image

Crushed new potatoes with herbs make a wonderful side dish. They're boiled until they're soft and tender, then baked in the oven with all the seasonings until they're crunchy and crispy from the outside, but still have very creamy centres.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound (450 grams) baby potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1 teaspoon parsley or basil
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Boil slightly salted water, then throw your baby potatoes into the pot. Leave them to cook for 15-20 minutes or until they're cooked through and soft.
  • Grease your baking tray with olive oil, and get the potatoes out of the pot and onto the baking tray.
  • Lightly crush the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher, but make sure not to over do it as you don't want really flat pieces of potato all over your baking sheet.
  • Using the excess olive oil on the baking tray, light brush the potatoes with the olive oil.
  • Season with freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt.
  • Sprinkle with either dried or fresh herbs and garlic.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-15 more minutes at 200°C (392°F). The baking time depends on the size of your potatoes, so keep checking on them as they bake.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds large Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
1/3 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Return the potatoes to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Remove from the heat. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and the reserved cooking water to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes, skins and all, with a traditional potato masher to an even consistency. Fold in the herbs and season with salt. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil.

Give mashed potatoes a new edge with some herby flavours

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

750g new potato
6 tbsp virgin olive oil
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
Maldon sea salt

Steps:

  • Cook the new potatoes (with their skins on) in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes depending on their size. They should be quite soft for this recipe.
  • Meanwhile warm the oil and herbs in a small pan - this helps release all the flavours. Drain the potatoes, tip them into a bowl and 'squash' each potato with a fork - it should break up but not fall apart. Be gentle here, as you don't want the potatoes completely collapsing. Pour over the herb oil, gently stir, tip into a serving dish, then sprinkle over a good pinch of Maldon sea salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES



Herby Potato Salad With Smashed Olives image

As with coleslaw, there are two schools of potato salad: the mayonnaise-based and the vinegar-based. This recipe plants itself firmly in the latter camp with bright, punchy flavors. The dressing here is a classic red-wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette that develops great flavor after marinating with capers, smashed green olives and thinly sliced shallots. Just fifteen minutes in the dressing softens the shallot's bite, and a quick soak brings canned olives to life. There may appear to be too much dressing when you add the cooked potatoes, but as the potatoes cool, they'll absorb it beautifully. (The key is to add them to the dressing as soon as they are cool enough to handle.) Any small potatoes will work for this recipe, and a mix of colors looks particularly nice. The most important detail is that the potatoes should be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small (or baby) red or Yukon Gold potatoes, all about the same size
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup Castelvetrano or other green olives, pitted and smashed (about 4 ounces)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
  • While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
  • Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes for different textures and flavors. For example, Yukon Gold potatoes are creamy and smooth, while russet potatoes are fluffy and light.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before boiling to remove excess starch and help them hold their shape.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until they are tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before crushing them.
  • Use a potato ricer or a fork to crush the potatoes. Be careful not to over-mash them, as you want them to retain some texture.
  • Stir in the olive oil, herbs, and seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

These olive oil and herb crushed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give these crushed potatoes a try!
