Potatoes Braised In Aromatic Broth Recipes

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients except the potatoes in a saucepan with a cover, seasoning the broth well with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil, cover, decrease heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the potatoes, cover, and simmer until they can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes.
• The time will vary with the type and size of the potatoes, so check a little before the 15 minute mark and then check frequently after it.
• If you'd like to serve some of the cooking liquid with the potatoes, lift the potatoes from the pan with a slotted spoon; put them in a warm bowl and cover them; turn the heat up under the broth; cook the broth for a few minutes until it reduces slightly and the flavors are more concentrated.
• Taste for salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the potatoes and garlic in a 12-inch round casserole, at least 3 inches deep. Scatter the shallots, bay leaves, thyme, parsley and peppercorns over the top. Sprinkle with the salt and drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top. Pour in the chicken broth. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Turn the oven up to 450 degrees. Bake until most but not all of the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes longer. Discard the bay leaves and herbs. Serve, spooning a little of the remaining liquid over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil and butter over medium-low heat in a large ovenproof skillet. Add onion, and cook until very soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and shallots and half the rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high, and cook until potatoes begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and add remaining rosemary and the stock.
• Cover skillet, and transfer to the oven; cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes (timing will vary with size of potatoes). Uncover, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 5mm thick slices.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan. Add onions and bacon & cook, stirring until onions are golden brown & bacon is cooked. Remove from pan.
• Heat remaining oil and butter in the same pan. Add potatoes & cook, turning occasionally until browned all over. Remove from pan.
• Drain oil mixture from pan. Return potatoes & onions to the pan with garlic and stock.
• Bring to the boil and then simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Stir in frozen vegetables and mushrooms and cook, covered, for a further 5 minutes.
• Stir in parsley & season with salt & pepper.
• Serve with grain mustard.

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes, then cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a deep skillet or broad pot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, onions, garlic, a sprig of thyme or rosemary, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until potatoes begin to turn golden, 10 minutes.
• Add good stock to barely cover the potatoes (about 2 cups). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and liquid is reduced, about 30 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve garnished with thyme or rosemary.

Steps:

• Pour the oil into the pot, and set over medium-high heat. Let the oil get quite hot, but not smoking.
• Dump in the potatoes, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of the salt, and toss them in the oil until well coated. Cook them for 6 minutes or more, until lightly crusted and caramelized without taking on any color. Lower the heat to prevent burning and alternately stir the potatoes.
• When the potatoes are leaving a crust on the pan bottom (about 3 to 5 minutes), toss in the celery and carrots. Stir up everything well, scraping up any potato crust, raise the heat a bit, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until all the vegetables are hot and steaming. Push them aside to clear the pan bottom in the center, and drop in the tomato paste. Toast it in the hot spot for a minute or two, stirring, then work the paste into the vegetables.
• Pour the gallon of hot water into the pan, drop in the bay leaves and pieces of cheese rind, grind in 1/4 teaspoon or more of black pepper, add the remaining teaspoon of salt, and stir well. Cover the pot and bring the broth to a boil, adjusting the heat to keep a steady but not violent bubbling, and let cook for an hour, covered. Stir occasionally.
• Uncover the pot and cook the broth for another hour or so, still at a low bubbling boil, until it has reduced to 4 quarts. (If you're in a hurry, raise the heat and concentrate the broth quickly; stir now and then to prevent burning.)
• Remove the bay leaves but leave the cheese rind, whole or chopped up, for those who like it.
• You can use the broth right away, or any part of it, for the finished soups that follow. Or let it cool and pack it in measured containers. Keep it refrigerated for 3 or 4 days, or frozen, in filled and tightly sealed containers, for 4 to 6 months.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, arrange potatoes in a single layer. Add broth and butter. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 12 minutes., Uncover; cook until potatoes are tender and broth is evaporated, 7-10 minutes. Press each potato with a turner to crush slightly. Sprinkle evenly with the dill, salt and pepper. Cook until bottoms are lightly browned, 2-3 minutes longer. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut off ends of russet potatoes, stand potatoes on end, and peel potatoes from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders about 2 inches long.
• Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from outsides; pat dry with paper towels.
• Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (such as a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil; heat oil until it shimmers slightly.
• Place potato cylinders with best-looking ends into the hot oil, lower heat to medium-high, and pan-fry potatoes until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Flip the potatoes onto the opposite ends. As they cook, use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully blot out the oil from the skillet. Add butter and thyme sprigs to skillet.
• Pick up a thyme sprig with tongs and use it to paint butter over the top of the potatoes. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with more salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock into skillet.
• Transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. If potatoes aren't tender, add 1/4 cup more stock and let cook 10 more minutes.
• Place potatoes on a serving platter and spoon thyme-scented butter remaining in skillet over potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.
