Pommes De Terre Persillade Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Melt half the butter with the olive oil in a saute pan, and gently fry the onions until soft and lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Spread half the onions in the bottom of a casserole. Lay a layer of sliced potatoes on top, season with salt and pepper, and scatter with thyme leaves. Build another layer of onions, then a final one of potatoes, and finally pour over the stock. Cover the pan with foil, and bake until all the liquid has been absorbed, 2 to 3 hours, removing the foil for the last hour if you like a crisp top.

Steps:

• Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Spread on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, then increase the temperature to 450 and bake another 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. If they are ''new'' potatoes, there should be at least 24. Leave them whole. If they are large Idaho potatoes, cut each of them into four equal-size pieces.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size. Do not overcook.
• Drain and add the butter and parsley, turning the potatoes gently in the butter until they are coated.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into small dice, about 3/4 inch and certainly no larger than 1 inch. Rinse the diced potatoes in hot water, drain well, and dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth or paper towels--this seems to prevent the potatoes from sticking together during cooking.
• In a very large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil and butter. Add the potatoes--the pan should be large enough to take them very comfortably more or less in a single layer, otherwise use 2 pans.
• Season liberally with salt and pepper. Over a low heat saute the potatoes until crisp and golden; this may take up to 1 hour. Turn the heat down if the potatoes are browning too much. Stir frequently with a wooden spatula and give the pan an occasional good shake. Snip the parsley into a bowl and add the potatoes. They won't need draining, but if they look even remotely greasy, drain them on paper towels. Check the seasoning, and sprinkle the potatoes with extra snipped parsley. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Using a chef's knife, trim the unpeeled potatoes into rectangular blocks. Cut each into 1/4-inch thick slices. Stack two or more slices together and cut into 1/4-inch julienne strips. Cut these strips into 1/4-inch dice and place in a saucepan, covered with cold water, until ready to cook.
• Place the potatoes in cold water, bring to a boil, then immediately take off the heat and drain. Allow the potatoes to air dry. Meanwhile, prepare the persillade by mixing together the garlic and parsley. It is possible to prepare the dish ahead to this point.
• If the potatoes aren't thoroughly dry, blot them with towels. Heat the oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until they brown lightly, 6 to 8 minutes. You may drain and discard oil at this point, if desired. Add the butter and continue sauteing for another 5 minutes or longer to brown the potatoes completely. Just before serving, toss the potatoes with the garlic and parsley over medium heat for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the potatoes into 3/8-inch cubes. Place in a sieve, and rinse well under cool tap water. Place in a bowl with water to cover until ready to cook.
• 2. 2In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Drain the potatoes, pay dry with paper towels, and add to the hot oil. Sauté over high heat for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are browned on all sides.
• 3. 3Meanwhile, chop the garlic and parsley together until finely minced, and set the mixture aside. (This is a persillade.)
• 4. Add the salt, pepper, and persillade to the potatoes in the skillet, tossing to combine. Serve immediately.
