Dusty Potatoes Recipes

DUSTY POTATOES

Steps:

• Mix together bread crumbs, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Dip potatoes into butter and then into crumb mixture.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 1 hour.

DIRTY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400℉.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (lined with parchment for easier cleaning).
• Add the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to the potatoes and toss with your hands.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes. After about 25 minutes, turn each potato over so that both sides bake to a golden crispy brown.
• While the potatoes are roasting, in a small pan sauté the onions and mushrooms in one teaspoon of olive oil or butter for about 3-4 minutes - just until the mixture starts to turn a slight golden brown.
• Add the pureed or minced olives to the sauté pan of onions and mushrooms. Stir together and warm together over medium heat. Voilà! You have made "dirt"! Set this aside until the potatoes are done.
• When the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the outside remove from the oven and add to a serving bowl. Add the "dirt" to the potatoes and gently toss together. Serve warm.

DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a piping bag with large open star tip.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Fill a 3-quart pot with 4 inches water and 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot.
• Cook potatoes over low heat until remaining water steams off, about 3 minutes. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.
• Place potatoes in a food processor and process until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add butter, egg yolks, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until just combined; spoon into the piping bag.
• Pipe potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into eighteen 2-inch rosettes with a circular motion, finishing with a small peak in the center. Refrigerate until slightly firmer, about 25 minutes.
• Mix egg and heavy cream together in a bowl; brush mixture onto the rosettes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
