Marbled Potatoes Recipes

PAN-ROASTED MARBLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Place bacon into a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until bacon begins to soften and give off its fat, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir potatoes and bacon until bacon browns and potatoes begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Cover skillet and cook for 5 minutes; stir. Repeat steps, covering and cooking for 5 minutes and stirring until potatoes are tender and a tip of a knife inserts easily, 15 to 20 more minutes.
• Adjust salt and black pepper to taste; sprinkle chopped rosemary over potatoes, stir, and remove from heat. Drizzle rice vinegar over potatoes and stir to dissolve any browned bits of food stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Transfer potatoes to a serving dish and top with a rosemary sprig.

MELTED RACLETTE CHEESE WITH MARBLE POTATOES AND PURSLANE

Steps:

• Serve:
• 1 pound raclette, thinly sliced
• Purslane, for garnish
• To make the marble potatoes:
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and generously season with salt. Bring to a boil, and strain immediately. In a baking pan, cover the potatoes completely with olive oil and add the thyme and garlic. Bake until the potatoes are tender. Let cool to room temperature and peel the potatoes with a small paring knife.
• To make the potato puree:
• In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until the butter solids turn brown. Remove from the heat. Put the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain. Pass the potatoes through a food mill. Add the brown butter and cream and mix to combine. Adjust the consistency with some of the half-and-half; you may not use all of it. Stir in the Gruyere and creme fraiche. Pass through a fine mesh sieve. Season to taste with salt.;
• To serve:
• Using an ovenproof plate, place a spoonful of the potato puree on each plate. Arrange a few of the whole fingerling potatoes on top of the puree. Place about 4 ounces of the raclette on top of the potatoes and flash the dish under the broiler just until the cheese bubbles. Garnish each plate with purslane.

MARBLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the red potatoes and the sweet potatoes separately in water to cover in saucepans until tender; drain. Cool slightly and peel. Mash in separate bowls.
• Saute the scallions in 1/4 cup butter in a skillet until tender. Stir half the scallions into each bowl of potatoes.
• Whisk the sour cream and the whipped cream in a bowl. Fold half gently into each bowl of potatoes. Add half the nutmeg, salt and pepper to each bowl.
• Layer the potatoes, one half at a time, in a greased one-quart baking dish.
• Swirl with a knife to marbelize. Sprinkle with a mixture of the bread crumbs, melted butter and parsley.

MARBLED STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the russet and sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake 30 minutes. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork and continue to bake until tender, 15 to 20 more minutes for the sweet potato and 20 to 25 more minutes for the russet potatoes. Let cool slightly.
• Peel the sweet potato. Transfer to a bowl and mash lightly with a fork until almost smooth. Trim a thin slice off the top of each russet potato, cutting lengthwise. Scoop most of the flesh into another bowl, leaving the shells intact. Add the sour cream and butter to the bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the scallions, 1/2 cup cheese, the nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the sweet potato.
• Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Generously fill with the marbled potato mixture and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts, 25 to 30 minutes.
