Tiny Baked Potatoes With Chervil Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss until potatoes are covered and garlic is evenly distributed. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, shaking every 5 minutes to prevent burning, until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel onion as thinly as possible.
• Peel the potatoes and slice as evenly as possible, about 1/8" thick.
• In a 4 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the onion slices.
• Stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the onions are wilted and translucent.
• Add the cream and bring to a boil.
• Add the potatoes, folding them into the cream with a rubber spatula to make sure each slice is well coated.
• Add nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer until the cream begins to thicken and the potatoes are almost tender.
• They should still have some resistance to the bite.
• **(Recipe can be completed to this stage well in advance. If you are not ready to proceed with serving the potatoes, remove them from the pan and store in a covered container in the refrigerator).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In 6-8 shallow, oven-proof gratin dishes, OR individual casseroles, OR in one large Pyrex baking dish, spoon a layer of potatoes and cream mixture about 1 inch deep.
• (It is not necessary to grease the dishes first).
• **The casseroles can be assembled to this point well in advance of baking.
• The potatoes will not discolor since they are already partially cooked.
• Bake in the upper third of the oven at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until the tip of a knife slides easily into the potatoes and they are golden brown on top.
• Serves 6-8.
