Hardy Gold Taters And Onions Recipes

UNCLE BILL'S FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick or thinner.
• Slice onion thinly.
• In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, melt butter, add olive oil.
• Add sliced potatoes and onions, cover and fry for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and onions over so they do not break apart. If potatoes appear too dry, add some additional butter.
• Sprinkle with granulated garlic powder, dried dill weed, salt and pepper and continue to fry with cover removed for another 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to turn slightly brown; turning occasionally.
• Serve hot with your meal.
• Note: You may use 2 or 3 large garlic cloves (chopped small), instead of granulated garlic powder. Add to the potatoes after the first 10 minutes of cooking time.

YUKON GOLD ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, ONION AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Set oven to 425ºF.
• Prepare a large roasting pan.
• In the roasting pan cook the bacon in the oven until crisp (this should take about 10 minutes) remove from the roaster and crumble, then set aside to a plate to cool slightly (DO NOT drain the bacon fat, leave in the roaster).
• Place the potato wedges skin-side down in the roasting pan; toss to coat in the bacon fat (you can also add in some oil if it seems too dry).
• Add in onion wedges (the onion wedges will separate).
• Sprinkle the peeled garlic cloves in the pan around the potatoes and onions.
• Sprinkle the veggies with rubbed thyme, salt and pepper.
• Roast uncovered for about 40-45 minutes, or until the potato wedges are fork-tender and browned.
• Before serving sprinkle with crumbled bacon and season with more salt and pepper if desired).

SOUS VIDE ESSENTIALS: CREAMY YUKON GOLD TATERS

Steps:

• 1. PLATE/PRESENT
• 2. For this recipe you will need a sous vide machine; however, allow me to suggest another option. We are working with a fairly high temp, and although I have never cooked them this way, I believe you could do them on the stovetop. Just get the water in a pot hot but not simmering, then just follow the recipe as written.
• 3. The Taters I am using Yukon Golds for this recipe, but you could sub some baby reds, or even russets. Note: If you are using russets cut the sous vide bath time down to 60 minutes.
• 4. Water Displacement Method If you are not using a vacuum-sealing machine (Food Saver, etc.), then you, most likely, are employing standard plastic food bags (Ziploc, etc.). To get as much of the air out of the bag, as possible, fill it with food and slowly sink the open bag into a pan of water, while keeping the open end just above the waterline. The pressure of the water will push against the bag and force out most of the air. Then, seal the bag and you are ready to sous vide. If I am using Ziploc-type bags, I always clip the bag to the side of the container with the zip-seal portion above the water line. One more thing, do not use the "regular" Ziploc bags; use the ones designed to go into the freezer. They are much stronger and less prone to leaks.
• 5. Baked Garlic If you have never baked garlic before, you are missing out on a tasty treat. Here is the recipe I use: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?r=4
• 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 7. Set your sous vide machine to 195f (90c).
• 8. Clean the taters and cut into quarters.
• 9. You could peel them; however, I think the skins add to the flavor of this yummy dish.
• 10. Add the taters, spices, cold butter, and baked garlic (if using) to a vacuum bag, and seal. Or use the water displacement method described in Step 4.
• 11. Completely submerse the bag into the sous vide bath and cook for 90 minutes.
• 12. PLATE/PRESENT
• 13. Cut open the bag, and place the taters, spices and melted butter into a small serving bowl. Top with some sour cream, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired. Enjoy.
• 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
