POTATO TART WITH GOAT CHEESE AND THYME



Potato Tart With Goat Cheese and Thyme image

Store-bought puff pastry is the true workhorse in this elegant recipe, which involves three basic components: puff pastry, cheese and potatoes. When cooking with limited ingredients, quality is key, so use puff pastry made with real butter if you can get it - the flavor is better and the puff is, simply put, puffier. The dough is formed by a process called "lamination" in which alternating layers of butter and dough are folded together. As it bakes, the butter creates steam between the layers, providing the puff. Be sure to use the tines of a fork to "dock" the dough before baking; this creates little chutes for steam to escape instead of getting trapped and forming unsightly bubbles. Master the puff pastry part and this tart is easy and versatile: Play around with various spices and top with any fresh herbs you have on hand.

Categories     dinner, easy, pies and tarts, main course

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 (14-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 pound baby potatoes, preferably in different colors
8 ounces fresh ricotta
1 (4-ounce) log firm goat cheese
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Place puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife, lightly score a border around the perimeter of the puff pastry, about a 1/2 inch away from the edges. Using a fork, prick the pastry every few inches inside the border to prevent puffing, then bake on top rack until puffy and lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, fit a large pot with a steamer basket. Add enough water to come just below the steamer basket and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and steam until potatoes can be pierced with the tip of a knife, but are still firm, about 20 minutes. Transfer steamer basket to a large bowl and allow to cool until you can handle the potatoes. Slice potatoes crosswise 1/4-inch thick and season with salt and pepper.
  • While potatoes cook, blend ricotta, goat cheese, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth. Working within the border, spread the cheese mixture evenly on the puff pastry. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on top of cheese mixture and brush the potatoes with the melted butter.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the edges of the cheese are slightly golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve.

BAKED POTATO PUFFS



Baked Potato Puffs image

The hardest line cook job I ever had was at the Carnelian Room, where on a busy night I'd prepare over 250 steaks and chops. The biggest challenge was frying French potato puffs to order. Called pommes dauphine, it's one of the finest foods ever invented. To save your kitchen from that deep fryer smell, I wanted to try a baked version. I was very happy with the results. Even though they weren't as dark and crispy as the fried version, the inside was virtually identical. Enjoy these as a warm snack with a dip, or to go alongside some eggs or grilled steak.

BAKED CHEESY SAMOSA PUFFS

Snacks are a crucial component of every Diwali party, and these baked samosa puffs have crispy pastry encasing a cheesy, potato-stuffed interior.

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb. russet potatoes (about 2 large), scrubbed
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
2 Tbsp. avocado oil or vegetable oil
½ tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. mustard seeds
⅛ tsp. asafetida
1 medium serrano chile or 2 green Thai chiles, finely chopped
1 1" piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground turmeric
6 oz. cheddar, cut into ¼" cubes
3 Tbsp. coarsely chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. garam masala
1 tsp. sugar
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (two 14-oz. packages or one 17.3-oz. package), thawed
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Peel potatoes, then place in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth with some pea-size pieces remaining.
  • Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafetida, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chile and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in coriander, turmeric, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and mix until spiced oil is thoroughly incorporated. Return potato mixture to bowl and let cool.
  • Stir cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garam masala, and sugar into potato mixture. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into eighteen 2½" squares. Roll out each square to about 4½", then divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Working one at a time, brush edges of pastry with egg. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture onto center of each square. Fold pastry in half by bringing one of the top corners up and over filling and matching it up with the opposite bottom corner to make a triangle. Pinch edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork. Brush tops with egg. Chill puffs 15 minutes.
  • Bake puffs until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. (Some cheese may ooze out and that is okay.)
  • Serve puffs with ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, select small, waxy potatoes like baby potatoes or new potatoes. These hold their shape well and puff up beautifully in the oven.
  • Parboil the potatoes first: This step is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior and tender interior. Parboiling the potatoes helps them cook evenly and prevents them from becoming dry.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil: This will help the potatoes brown evenly and give them a delicious flavor.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the potatoes, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. You can also add fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
  • Don't overcrowd the potatoes: Make sure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't overcook.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy, right out of the oven. You can top them with cheese, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Puffed potatoes with cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed as part of any meal. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion gathering. With their crispy exterior, tender interior, and cheesy topping, these potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple yet satisfying side dish, give puffed potatoes with cheese a try.
