Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds small yellow-fleshed potatoes (preferably fingerling)
5 large garlic cloves, smashed with flat side of a large knife
3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 pound baby zucchini, halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 4-quart saucepan, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise.
  • Cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic, then stir potatoes and red pepper flakes into oil and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While sautéing potatoes, cook zucchini in a pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain in a colander.
  • Transfer potatoes with a slotted spoon to a bowl, then add zucchini to oil in skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Return potatoes to skillet and stir in salt.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large red frying pepper or red bell pepper, for roasting
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 1 1/4 pounds small zucchini, very thinly sliced into discs
2 chile peppers, Fresno or other, tops removed, seeded and sliced into very thin rings
2 mild green frying peppers (cubanelle), thinly sliced into rings
1 medium yellow or red onion, peeled and thinly sliced into rings
5 to 6 baby Yukon gold potatoes, very thinly sliced into discs (like potato chips)
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary
A few sprigs thyme, leaves picked and finely chopped
2 pounds peeled fresh heirloom tomatoes, chopped OR 1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, stewed tomatoes or chunky-style crushed tomatoes
2 to 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
Fresh sweet basil leaves, shredded or torn, for garnish
Crusty bread or fresh baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Char sweet frying pepper over open flame on stovetop or under hot broiler with oven door cracked to allow steam to escape. Once the skin is evenly charred and blackened all-over, place the pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic until pepper is cool enough to handle. Wipe or scrape the char off the pepper removing the skins. Seed the pepper and thinly slice.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add the zucchini, chiles, frying peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and saute the vegetables until tender-crisp, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and roasted peppers and allow the tomatoes to breakdown a few minutes. Stir in enough stock to desired consistency - as thin or thick as you like.
  • Cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
  • Reheat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Serve in shallow bowls with shredded or torn sweet basil and crusty, warm bread.

SPICY POTATOES WITH GARLIC AIOLI



Spicy Potatoes with Garlic Aioli image

This is my take on Spanish patatas bravas. The potatoes are tossed in a flavorful spice mix and then finished to a crispy golden brown. The garlic aioli takes it over the top for an unconventional potato salad that'll be a hit at any party. -John Stiver, Bowen Island, British Columbia

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss for the best texture and flavor. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russet, which tend to fall apart during cooking.
  • Uniformly Sized Vegetables: Cut the potatoes and zucchini into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. This will prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Generous Garlic: Don't skimp on the garlic! It's a key ingredient that adds a delicious savory flavor to the dish. If you love garlic, feel free to add even more.
  • Crispy Potatoes: To achieve crispy potatoes, make sure the pan is hot before adding them. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it will prevent the potatoes from getting crispy. Give them enough space to sizzle and brown.
  • Taste and Adjust Seasoning: As the potatoes and zucchini cook, taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or chili flakes if needed.
  • Garnish for Vibrance: Before serving, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the dish for a pop of color and added freshness.
