SAVORY POTATO BROTH



Savory Potato Broth image

This versatile soup base is not really a broth, in the way my turkey broth is-that is, a clear liquid strained of all the ingredients that gave it flavor. In truth, the base starts cooking with several pounds of potatoes, carrots, and celery, and they stay in there. Yet, remarkably, it ends up light, clear, and clean-tasting, like a broth. To enjoy the clarity and consistency of the base, often I'll add nothing more than rice, for texture and flavor. Onion and poached garlic make a flavorful yet light cream soup. On the other hand, I might fill the base with lots of textured ingredients, like mushrooms and barley, or lentils and ditalini pasta. And vegetables that break down during cooking and melt away, such as parsnip or winter squash and chestnut, utterly transform the texture.

Yield About 4 quarts of soup base, enough for 2 batches or more of finished soups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes (6 cups)
2 teaspoons salt
2 stalks celery, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 quarts water, heated to boiling
3 bay leaves
1 or 2 pieces outer rind of Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano (2 or 3 inches square), rinsed (see box, page 66)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
A heavy-bottomed soup pot, saucepan, or Dutch oven, minimum 6-quart capacity, 8-quart preferable, with a cover

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into the pot, and set over medium-high heat. Let the oil get quite hot, but not smoking.
  • Dump in the potatoes, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of the salt, and toss them in the oil until well coated. Cook them for 6 minutes or more, until lightly crusted and caramelized without taking on any color. Lower the heat to prevent burning and alternately stir the potatoes.
  • When the potatoes are leaving a crust on the pan bottom (about 3 to 5 minutes), toss in the celery and carrots. Stir up everything well, scraping up any potato crust, raise the heat a bit, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until all the vegetables are hot and steaming. Push them aside to clear the pan bottom in the center, and drop in the tomato paste. Toast it in the hot spot for a minute or two, stirring, then work the paste into the vegetables.
  • Pour the gallon of hot water into the pan, drop in the bay leaves and pieces of cheese rind, grind in 1/4 teaspoon or more of black pepper, add the remaining teaspoon of salt, and stir well. Cover the pot and bring the broth to a boil, adjusting the heat to keep a steady but not violent bubbling, and let cook for an hour, covered. Stir occasionally.
  • Uncover the pot and cook the broth for another hour or so, still at a low bubbling boil, until it has reduced to 4 quarts. (If you're in a hurry, raise the heat and concentrate the broth quickly; stir now and then to prevent burning.)
  • Remove the bay leaves but leave the cheese rind, whole or chopped up, for those who like it.
  • You can use the broth right away, or any part of it, for the finished soups that follow. Or let it cool and pack it in measured containers. Keep it refrigerated for 3 or 4 days, or frozen, in filled and tightly sealed containers, for 4 to 6 months.

BRAISED POTATOES



Braised Potatoes image

Found in an old magazine. This is a great recipe - that is a terrific side or a meal in itself. To re-heat, don't microwave, but reheat in the frypan after cooking meat, etc., so that it picks up some of the flavours. This is also great when made part of scrambled eggs!

FONDANT POTATOES



Fondant Potatoes image

The texture this old-school method provides for russet potatoes is unlike anything you get by just roasting: so dense, moist, and rich. The way the crusty, crunchy edges outside contrast with the uniquely rich and creamy inside is truly a magical thing.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Roasted Potato Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large whole russet potatoes
2 tablespoons high-heat-resistant vegetable oil, such as grapeseed oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
4 sprigs thyme, plus more for garnish
½ cup chicken broth, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Cut off ends of russet potatoes, stand potatoes on end, and peel potatoes from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders about 2 inches long.
  • Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from outsides; pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (such as a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil; heat oil until it shimmers slightly.
  • Place potato cylinders with best-looking ends into the hot oil, lower heat to medium-high, and pan-fry potatoes until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Flip the potatoes onto the opposite ends. As they cook, use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully blot out the oil from the skillet. Add butter and thyme sprigs to skillet.
  • Pick up a thyme sprig with tongs and use it to paint butter over the top of the potatoes. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with more salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock into skillet.
  • Transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. If potatoes aren't tender, add 1/4 cup more stock and let cook 10 more minutes.
  • Place potatoes on a serving platter and spoon thyme-scented butter remaining in skillet over potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.

SIMPLE BRAISED POTATOES



Simple Braised Potatoes image

One doesn't usually think of braising as a technique for cooking potatoes, but one should. It's so easy, and yields the same comfort quotient of the mashed sort without all of the peeling, boiling and mashing. Onion, garlic and your choice of thyme or rosemary give them a little oomph. As with all potato dishes, don't forget to season well with salt.

BRAISED POTATOES



Braised Potatoes image

Braising maximizes the potatoes' flavor and ensures that they're perfectly tender. Serve this alongside our Crisp Mustard-Glazed Chicken Breasts.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds fingerling and very small new white potatoes
6 small shallots, peeled
2 to 3 sprigs rosemary, plus 1 tablespoon roughly chopped for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil and butter over medium-low heat in a large ovenproof skillet. Add onion, and cook until very soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and shallots and half the rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high, and cook until potatoes begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and add remaining rosemary and the stock.
  • Cover skillet, and transfer to the oven; cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes (timing will vary with size of potatoes). Uncover, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select firm, waxy potatoes that hold their shape well during cooking, such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or Fingerling potatoes.
  • Cut Potatoes Evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will distribute heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Brown the Potatoes: Before adding the broth, brown the potatoes in a little bit of oil or butter. This will add flavor and color to the potatoes.
  • Use a Flavorful Broth: The broth is the key to flavorful braised potatoes. Use a high-quality broth that is packed with flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Add Aromatics: To enhance the flavor of the broth, add some aromatics such as onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and herbs. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Simmer Gently: Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the potatoes gently until they are tender. This will take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the potato pieces.
  • Season to Taste: Once the potatoes are cooked, season the broth to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Braised potatoes are a simple but flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make braised potatoes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
