Smashed Potatoes With Eggs And Rosemary Vinaigrette Recipes

ROSEMARY SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and leave them in the colander for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle some olive oil over it.
• Place cooked potatoes on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between each potato. You might need two baking sheets, if you don't have a large one, but it depends on how many potatoes you cook.
• Using a potato masher or fork, gently press down on each potato until it slightly mashes and flattens. Rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and press down again. Brush the tops of each potato generously with more olive oil.
• Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary.
• Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

SMASHED POTATOES WITH EGGS AND ROSEMARY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water with 1 sprig of the rosemary and 2 cloves of garlic until tender. Drain potatoes and discard rosemary and garlic. Place potatoes on a cutting board and use the side of a cleaver or the bottom of a pot to lightly crush them, keeping them as intact as possible.
• Strip leaves from remaining rosemary sprig and chop. Mince remaining garlic clove. Place in a dish with lemon juice and zest and whisk in olive oil and chile flakes. Season with salt. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with a couple of layers of paper towels.
• Heat grape seed or canola oil on medium-high to a depth of 1/2 inch in a skillet large enough to hold potatoes in a single layer (a 10-inch skillet should work). When oil is hot, add smashed potatoes and fry, turning once, until golden brown and crusty. Season with salt, transfer to baking sheet and place in the oven.
• Bring an inch or so of water to a simmer in a shallow 2-quart saucepan. Add vinegar. Break an egg into a teacup and slip the egg out of the cup and into the water. Repeat with second egg. (And with two more eggs if you desire.) Simmer until just set, about 3 minutes. Divide potatoes between two warm plates, give the vinaigrette another whisking and drizzle about half of it over the potatoes. Use a slotted spoon to lift eggs from the water and place onto the potatoes. Drizzle eggs with the rest of the vinaigrette and serve.

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

ROSEMARY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Dump the potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for at least 1 hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, and serve.

SALT-AND-VINEGAR SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes in a saucepan; cover with 2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups white vinegar plus 2 pinches of salt. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes; drain. Toss on a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Flatten with a spatula and drizzle with 2 tablespoons more olive oil; season with salt. Broil, flipping, until crisp all over, 15 to 20 minutes.

SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Bring potatoes to a boil in a large pot of water generously seasoned with salt. Cook until fork tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle two rimmed baking sheets with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil each. Arrange potatoes on baking sheet and lightly crush each potato with the heel of your hand until potatoes are about ½ inch thick. Brush potatoes with remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with thyme. Roast, turning halfway through baking time, until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes.
• Serve with sour cream and chives, if desired.

SMASHED ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lots of salted water until almost cooked all the way through. Drain and leave to cool a bit. Strip the rosemary leaves and mix with the oil, garlic and seasoning in a roasting tray.
• Tip in the potatoes, crush them a little with a masher or a fork and toss with the oil mixture. Roast for 35 mins in the oven underneath the chicken until they are crunchy and you can smell the rosemary and the garlic just on the edge of burning.
