Baltimore Crab Boil Omelet With Crispy Smashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the milk, horseradish and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the horseradish is tender and infuses the milk, about 10 minutes (it's OK if the mixture looks curdled). Cover to keep warm.
• Drain the potatoes well, then return to the pot over low heat. Cook until the excess liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and butter and smash with a potato masher until the butter is melted and the potatoes are mostly smooth but with some chunks. Mash in the milk mixture and parsley until creamy; season with salt and pepper. If the potatoes still seem thick, add more warm milk as needed. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Combine the potatoes, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons salt and enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a paper towel?lined plate with a slotted spoon; gently blot dry (it?s OK if some of the potatoes crumble). Let cool completely.
• Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Melt the schmaltz in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (you should have about 2 inches in the pot) and heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the potatoes until browned and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to the rack with a slotted spoon and immediately sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in the oven between batches.
• Add the parsley and sage leaves to the hot schmaltz and fry a few seconds until just crisp. Remove to a paper towel?lined plate with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt. Top the potatoes with the fried herbs.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Heat the milk and butter in a small small saucepan until hot. With a potato masher or large fork, roughly smash the potatoes, while adding the hot liquid. Stir in half of the scallions, season with the salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and scatter the remaining scallions on top before serving.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in saucepan. Cover with cold water. Add pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes and transfer back to saucepan. Smash with potato masher. Add butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
