Garlic Potato Bake With Fresh Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
• Rub a large 3-qt. (3-l) baking dish about 3 1/2 inches deep with a split garlic clove and butter generously.
• Chop the garlic.
• Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Blot the slices dry with paper towels.
• Spread a layer of potatoes in the prepared dish, slightly overlapping them if desired, and sprinkle with salt & pepper; cover evenly with a small amount of cream, and sprinkle with a little chopped garlic (sprinkle layers and top with grated gruyere cheese, if using).
• Repeat the layering until all the potatoes and garlic are used and the potatoes are completely submerged by the cream.
• Dot with small bits of butter.
• Bake in the hot preheated oven for a good hour, then increase the temperature to 400F (200C) for the last 15-20 minutes until the potatoes have absorbed all of the cream and the top has turned a nice golden brown in color.
• Serve in the cooking dish straight from the oven, sprinkling each portion with some of the chives and parsley.
• Menu idea: Serve with steak, peaches in red wine and a beaujolais wine to drink!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pour olive oil into a plastic bag. Measure the garlic salt and pepper onto a plate, and stir around a little. Coat each potato with olive oil by placing in the bag, and moving it around. Remove from the bag, and dip into the seasoning. Rub seasoning into the potato to coat. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the potatoes feel soft when you squeeze them.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, score each head of garlic 1 inch from top, and peel away top inch of skin. Scrub the potatoes well, dry them, and prick each several times with a fork.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub heads of garlic lightly with olive oil, and wrap them loosely in aluminum foil. Bake garlic and potatoes until garlic is very soft and potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Serve each potato with a head of garlic; let guests squeeze roasted garlic from skin, and mix it into baked potato along with salt, pepper, and olive oil as desired.
