Prosciutto Sage Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and halve 3 medium russet potatoes. Put in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and make a small hole in the plastic with a knife. Microwave until tender, 12 to 15 minutes; let sit, covered, 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes with 1 to 1 1/4 cups hot milk, and salt to taste. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook until golden brown; add 8 to 10 sage leaves and cook 30 more seconds. Pour over the potatoes.

Steps:

• Bring large pot of water to boil, add 1/4 tsp salt. Cook potatoes and garlic until potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain and mash potatoes and (with a potato ricer); return to same pot.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped prosciutto and sage and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add prosciutto mixture and broth to potatoes and garlic.
• Mix in cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place potatoes in a pot, cover them with water, then bring water up to a boil; salt it and cook potatoes until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes or so.
• While the potatoes are working, combine veal with egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup cheese, sage, salt, and black pepper. Form 4 (1-inch thick) oval shaped meat loaves. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Brown meatloaves 2 to 3 minutes on each side then transfer to a nonstick baking sheet and finish in the oven, 6 to 8 minutes. Return skillet to heat, add another turn of extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and the mushrooms and the garlic. Cook mushrooms until dark and tender, 5 to 6 minutes, then add salt and pepper and 1 cup chicken stock to deglaze the pan.
• While the mushrooms cook, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepot. Add flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Reduce the sauce a few minutes to thicken a bit.
• Drain potatoes and add them back to warm pot. Add half of the milk sauce to potatoes with prosciutto and remaining 1/2 cup cheese, a couple of handfuls. Smash the potatoes to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the remaining milk sauce to the mushrooms, stir in Gorgonzola cheese to melt, then add the broth and combine. Serve the meatloaves with Gorgonzola-mushroom gravy over top and prosciutto potatoes alongside. Serve with green salad or wine steeped greens, recipe follows.
• Heat a deep skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, and garlic. Cook garlic a couple of minutes while you chop kale then remove the clove. Crank heat up a notch them add greens to wilt them down, 2 to 3 minutes of turning is involved here. Add wine, salt, and pepper and reduce heat to simmer. Steep the greens in wine 10 minutes, stir in zest then serve.
