Two Potato Rosemary Saute Recipes

Steps:

• Put the whole unpeeled potatoes in a pan of water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins. Drain and leave to cool. Can be done several hours ahead.
• When ready to serve, strip the skins from the potatoes, then cut them into thick slices. Heat the oils together in a very large non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes in a single layer if there is room, and cook for 10-15 mins, tuning them frequently with a fish slice until they are golden and crispy. Sprinkle with the rosemary and flaky salt, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Dump the potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for at least 1 hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into cubes and, in a large frying pan, fry them in butter for 15 mins until golden and cooked through.
• Tip in chopped rosemary leaves, mushrooms and garlic and fry for a few mins until softened.
• Season to taste, then push veg to the side of the pan and add a further 1tbsp oil. Break in the eggs and fry to your taste.
• Serve the potatoes piled on two plates and top each serving with a fried egg.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in one layer in a large saucepan and add the oil, butter, water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over high heat for about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking, covered, over low heat for about 10 minutes to brown the potatoes. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
• Add potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
• Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh rosemary)until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
• Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Pierce potatoes with toothpick or fork.
• Place on oven rack; bake until cooked through, about 1 hour 15 minutes (or microwave on high until tender, turning once, 10 to 15 minutes).
• Transfer to baking sheet; cool 5 minutes.
• Cut off top third of each potato.
• Scoop flesh from bottoms into bowl, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shell.
• Scoop flesh from tops; add to bowl. Discard tops.
• Add 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup blue cheese, butter, garlic and rosemary to potato flesh; mash.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer mixture to pastry bag fitted with large star tip; pipe mixture into potato shells, dividing equally. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.).
• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Bake potatoes on baking sheet until heated through and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon sour cream atop each potato.
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon blue cheese over each potato and serve.
• Variation:.
• For a tangy, mellow flavor, try soft fresh goat cheese in place of the blue cheese.
• Do-Ahead:.
