Thyme Chestnut Roast Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 mins until just tender. Drain.
• Put the oil in a large roasting tin, then transfer the tin to the oven with the turkey for 10 mins. Remove the tin from the oven and carefully tip in the potatoes and thyme, turning to coat in the hot oil. When the turkey is cooked through, turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast the potatoes for 40 mins. Turn the potatoes over and roast for 10-15 mins more until golden all over. Sprinkle over the chestnuts and roast for a final 10 mins until the chestnuts are heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F and place a backing pan on rack in lower third.
• Toss together all ingredients in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Carefully transfer potatoes to hot pan, shaking pan to spread potatoes into a single layer.
• Roast potatoes, stirring occasionally, until tender and crispy (about 35 minutes).

Steps:

• In a deep, medium skillet, bring water to a boil. Add quartered potatoes and simmer 12 minutes, until fork tender. Begin other recipes in your menu.
• Drain potatoes in a colander set over a pot. Allow the stock to cool and refrigerate for another use. Return the pan you cooked the potatoes in to heat over medium high. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter, then, when butter melts add potatoes. Season potatoes with salt, pepper and chopped thyme. Coat and brown the potatoes, turning only occasionally, 7 or 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Place figs in a bowl, cover with hot black tea and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight, depending on initial softness of figs.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash potatoes well and trim any bad parts. Separate garlic head into individual cloves but do not remove outer skin.
• Drain figs. In a bowl, combine garlic, thyme, figs, potatoes and olive oil; toss. Place on roasting pan and bake until potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove and season immediately with salt and pepper. Serve. Diners may remove skin from garlic at the table and eat along with the potatoes, if they wish.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Slice the potatoes into rounds the thickness of a £1 coin. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onions, season with a little salt, lots of pepper and the thyme. Cook gently for about 15 mins until softened.
• Generously butter a large roasting tin and arrange a layer of potatoes over the base, overlapping each slice with a sprinkling of onions. Drizzle with a little of the melted butter and season. Continue layering, drizzling with butter, sprinkling with onions and seasoning until all the potatoes have been used, finishing with a top layer of potatoes. Cook in the top of the oven for 1 hr - the potatoes should be meltingly soft and the top golden and crusty.
