Provided by Raquel Smith

Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds red potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Wash the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks with a sharp knife and cutting board. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes or so, until the chunks can be pierced easily with a fork, but not falling apart.
  • While the potatoes are in the microwave, preheat your broiler. Place an oven rack on the second position below the broiler - not the top position.
  • Whisk together all the remaining ingredients (from the olive oil to the sea salt) in a separate small bowl to make the sauce. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tender potatoes and the sauce, and toss to coat.
  • Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a Silpat pan liner. I think aluminum is best for browning. Broil until brown and crispy, tossing often. Keep your eye on them as they cook so they don't burn! Serve warm.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, plus softened butter, for the baking dish
5 to 6 medium russet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely diced
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
3 green onions, light green and medium green parts, thinly sliced
1 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with softened butter.
  • Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly. They'll cook better that way. Place the potatoes in the baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and onions and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Cut the bar of cream cheese in half and add the halves to the skillet, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and combined, about 3 minutes. Pour in the half-and-half and stir to combine. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary. Do not undersalt! Add the rosemary and green onions and stir to combine. Finally, mix in 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top of the potatoes. Scrape out the skillet to get every last drop. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup grated Parmesan generously over the top and bake until golden brown and bubbly, at least 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, smashed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Put the butter, rosemary and red pepper flakes in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Add the potatoes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper and toss together.
  • Put the potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking dish in a single layer (a glass baking dish should not be used at this temperature). Bake until the potatoes are a deep golden brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until a deep golden brown on the second side, another 15 minutes. Add the chicken broth and garlic and continue to bake until the potatoes are soft and the liquid is almost completely reduced, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter.

Crispy Rosemary Potatoes image

You must use fresh potatoes for this. These potatoes develop a crisp crust when seared in olive oil. They can be served with dinner or breakfast. Recipe from Vegetarian Planet. Cooking and prep times are an estimate.

Provided by cookiedog

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb potato (Yukon Gold, Yellow Finn, or new potatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil.
  • While the water heats, cut the potatoes in half (do not peel them).
  • Put them into the boiling water, and simmer them just until they are tender (check them often; they must not overcook, or they will break into pieces).
  • When the potatoes are done, immediately drain them, and put them into a large bowl filled with water and ice; let them sit in the water for at least 5 minutes, then drain them.
  • Cut them into large crosswise slices, about 1/2 inch thick, and place the slices on a kitchen towel to absorb any excess water.
  • Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the olive oil, then quickly add the potatoes.
  • Salt and pepper the potatoes well.
  • Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes, until they are a deep golden color on their undersides.
  • Turn the potatoes over, either by shaking the pan or by using a spatula; try not to break them.
  • Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes more; sprinkle them with the garlic and rosemary.
  • Shake the skillet or use a spatula to turn the potatoes again, and cook them another 2 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes hot.

Tips:

  • Use small to medium potatoes: These cook more evenly and consistently, reducing the likelihood of having undercooked or overcooked potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This ensures that they cook at the same rate and prevents some pieces from becoming mushy while others are still firm.
  • Do not overcrowd the microwave: Potatoes need space to cook properly and evenly. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking and soggy potatoes.
  • Toss the potatoes well with oil and seasonings: This helps to ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated and flavorful.
  • Use a microwave-safe dish: Make sure to use a dish that is large enough to accommodate the potatoes and allow for even cooking.
  • Cover the potatoes loosely with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid: This helps to create a humid environment that promotes even cooking and prevents the potatoes from drying out.
  • Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking: This helps to ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and prevents them from sticking together.
  • Let the potatoes stand for a few minutes before serving: This allows the potatoes to rest and redistribute their moisture, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.

Conclusion:

Rosemary potatoes made in the microwave are a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can complement various main courses. By following the tips and steps, you can achieve perfectly tender and flavorful potatoes with a crispy exterior. Experiment with different herbs and seasonings to create unique and tasty variations of this classic dish. Whether you're looking for a hassle-free weeknight meal or a side dish for a special occasion, these rosemary potatoes are sure to impress with their simplicity and deliciousness.
