Man Lovin Potatoes Recipes

SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and set it aside.
• Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the flour until it is evenly combined, and cook for 1 more minute.
• Gradually pour in the stock, and whisk until combined. Add in the milk, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon thyme, and whisk until combined. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce just barely begins to simmer around the edges of the pan and thickens. (Avoid letting it reach a boil.) Then remove from heat and set aside.
• Spread half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Top evenly with half of the cream sauce. (I usually strain out all of the onions and add them here too.) Then sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and all of the Parmesan cheese. Top evenly with the remaining sliced potatoes, the other half of the cream sauce, and the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. The sauce should be nice and bubbly around the edges. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
• Transfer the pan to a cooling rack, and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of thyme and extra Parmesan.
• Serve warm.

CRISPY ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
• Mix Parmesan Mixture in a bowl.
• Drizzle oil in 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13" glass baking dish (Note 2). Tilt pan to spread all over the base.
• Use a spoon to scatter the Parmesan Mixture over the base. Spread as evenly as you can. Once sprinkled, do not touch - don't try to spread it.
• Place potatoes cut side down, pressing firmly.
• Optional: drizzle top of potatoes with a touch of oil or spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
• Bake potatoes for 35 - 40 minutes or until they are soft and the parmesan crust is deep golden (you can check through the glass!)
• REST for 5 minutes. Then use an egg flip to cut between every 4 or so potatoes (i.e. cutting through the parmesan crust which bonds between each potato - see video), then scoop up 4 or so potatoes and flip them upside down so the cheese side is up on a serving platter.
• Serve with Dipping Sauce, if using, and sprinkle over extra green onions if desired. Serve as a side dish or as nibbles!

GARLIC BUTTER HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Slice the potatoes thinly leaving a half an inch base at the bottom.* Salt and pepper the potatoes.
• In a small bowl combine melted butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Place the potatoes in a 9x13 inch backing dish. Brush the garlic herb butter along the tops of the potatoes.
• Roast the potatoes for 40-60 minutes or until fork tender.

MAN-LOVIN' POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Slice potatoes with skins on into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion and garlic powders, seasoned salt, pepper, bacon, onion, and American cheese in a bowl. Stir in the potato slices. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake until bubbly and beginning to brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
