Fingerling Potatoes And Goat Cheese Fondue Recipes

GOAT CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Place the goat cheese in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour in the heavy cream and white wine, then add the thyme leaves and some black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the wine has cooked off, 8 to 10 minutes. The fondue will be thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives.
• Drizzle the honey over the fondue and serve warm with apples, grapes and sourdough bread for dipping.

ASPARAGUS, FINGERLING POTATO, AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a small saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Sprinkle with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Cool. Cut potatoes into thin slices.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Sprinkle a rimless baking sheet with cornmeal. Roll and stretch the pizza dough to a 16 by 11-inch oval. Transfer to baking sheet. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Brush garlic oil over the dough. Sprinkle three-fourths of the green onions over, then the mozzarella, leaving a 1/2-inch plain border. Top with the potato slices and goat cheese. Toss the asparagus and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Scatter the asparagus over the pizza. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then lightly with salt and generously with pepper.
• Bake the pizza until the crust is browned and the asparagus is tender, about 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with remaining green onions. Cut into pieces.

HERBED FINGERLINGS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot, and cover with water. Add enough salt so that the water tastes like the ocean, about 2 tablespoons. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add potatoes in 1 layer (do in batches if necessary, adding more oil if needed). Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium-high, and saute, turning, until potatoes are brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Add herbs, and saute 1 or 2 minutes, tossing frequently. Serve immediately.

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Rub inside of a fondue pot with garlic; discard garlic. Pour cider or wine into pot, and place over medium-low heat. When liquid starts to bubble, start adding cheeses by the handful, stirring until melted and combined.
• Whisk together lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves; stir into cheese mixture. Continue stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbling slightly, about five minutes. Season with nutmeg and pepper.
• Transfer fondue pot to the table, and keep warm over the fondue pot warmer. Serve with bread and pickled vegetables.

FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove onions and add remaining tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Saute until they begin to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Return onions to skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with basil and parsley.
• Heat broiler. Use a whisk to lightly beat eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in cream, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof flexible spatula to stir and push egg from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs are almost set (they should still be wet on top but otherwise set throughout), 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drop dollops of goat cheese on top of frittata, distributing evenly and pressing down into eggs a bit with the spatula. Sprinkle evenly with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Broil until frittata is set on top and has puffed slightly, and cheese is melted and golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Gently run the spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of pan onto a plate. Slice into six wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
