French Country Potatoes Recipes

POTATO AND ONION BAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F /180°C. (see note 5)
• Use some of the butter (about 1 tbsp) to grease the bottom and sides of a 8 cup/2litre baking dish. Place this on a baking tray for easy.
• Peel and finely slice the onions.
• Use a mandolin, food processor or sharp knife to cut the potatoes into 1/8 inch (3-4mm) thick disks.
• Arrange a layer of potatoes in your prepared baking dish, then top with onions, some of the chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Repeat the layers finishing with a top layer of potatoes and rosemary.
• Add any remaining herbs and seasonings to your broth and then pour it carefully over the potatoes, ensuring that it just covers the top layer.
• Dot the remaining 2 tbsp of butter over the top of the dish, cover the dish with foil and then transfer the baking dish and tray to the oven.
• Cook for 60 minutes then remove the foil and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and crisp. (see note 5&6)

FRENCH COUNTRY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a pot with a steamer insert, steam the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. (The potatoes can also be cooked in boiling salted water for the same amount of time.) Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• In a pot of boiling water, blanch the leeks for 30 seconds, or until tender. Rinse in cold water and drain. Set aside.
• Cut the roasted peppers in 1/2 crosswise and then cut them into 1/2-inch slices.
• Cut each potato into 8 pieces. In a medium bowl, mix the potatoes, leeks, peppers, thyme, and tarragon. In a separate bowl, stir together the Champagne vinaigrette with the mustard. Drizzle the vinaigrette on the potato salad and toss gently until the vinaigrette coats the salad evenly. Season with the salt and pepper and toss again.
• In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and salt together until the salt dissolves. Slowly whisk in the oil until the dressing is well blended. Season with pepper, to taste.

COUNTRY FRENCH OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned but not crisp. Take the bacon out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
• Place the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until very tender and browned, tossing occasionally to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same plate with the bacon.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. After the potatoes are removed, pour the fat out of the pan and discard. Add the butter, lower the heat to low, and pour the eggs into the hot pan. Sprinkle the bacon, potatoes, and chives evenly over the top and place the pan in the oven for about 8 minutes, just until the eggs are set. Slide onto a plate, divide in half, and serve hot.
