CRISPY BABY YUKON GOLD POTATOES



Crispy Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes image

You can't go wrong with roasted potatoes for a holiday meal. A mix of fresh thyme and nutmeg keeps this version interesting.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Christmas     Side     Potato     Roast     Thyme     Fall     Winter     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Christmas Eve

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl until coated. Arrange in an even layer, cut side down, on two rimmed baking sheets. Roast potatoes, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until crisp and golden brown on the bottom, about 25 minutes. Serve with Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this salad because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. You can also use red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, but they may not hold up as well in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the salad will not be as good.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of the ingredients you use will greatly affect the taste of the salad. Use good-quality mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and truffle oil. The prosciutto should also be of good quality and thinly sliced.
  • Don't overdress the salad: The salad should be dressed just enough to coat the potatoes. If you overdress it, the salad will become soggy and the flavors will be muted.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. The potatoes will start to absorb the dressing and the salad will become less flavorful if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Yukon Gold potato salad with crispy prosciutto and truffle oil is a delicious and elegant side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy potatoes, crispy prosciutto, and flavorful truffle oil combine to create a salad that is both satisfying and sophisticated. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
