Rice With Julienned Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and drop into cold water to prevent discoloration. Using shredding disk of food processor or hand grater, grate potatoes as finely as possible. There should be about six cups. Drop grated potatoes into basin of cold water and set aside.
• Cut the onion in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into very thin slices. There should be about one cup.
• Heat oil in nonstick 10-inch or 11-inch skillet. When oil is hot, drain potatoes, pat dry and add them to skillet. Add salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, shaking skillet and stirring, so potatoes cook evenly, about 10 minutes. Add butter. Toss and stir. Continue cooking about 2 minutes. Add onions. Toss and stir to blend thoroughly. Continue cooking, tossing and stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
• Using back of wooden spoon, press potato mixture to flatten well. Cook over moderately high heat about 2 minutes or until browned on bottom.
• Invert a round plate slightly larger than circumference of the skillet on top of skillet. Quickly turn skillet over so potatoes fall into the plate. Slip potatoes browned side up, back into skillet. Press down with back of wooden spoon.
• Cook on second side until nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large kettle or Dutch oven; cover with water. Tie peppercorns and bay leaf in a double thickness of cheesecloth; add to pan. Add celery salt and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Discard spice bag. Using a potato ricer or grater, press or grate potatoes into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
