Bbq Porkette With Fried Potatoes And Scallion Hash Recipes

BBQ PORKETTE WITH FRIED POTATOES AND SCALLION HASH

Steps:

• Make the sauce: in a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat; add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft but not brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Make the potatoes: fill a deep pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 320 degrees. Meanwhile, peel and julienne the potatoes and drop them into a bowl of water. Run water into the bowl until it runs clear. Dry well. Fry in batches so the potatoes are blanched but not browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain. Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees and fry a second time in batches until golden brown. Toss them in a paper-towel-lined bowl and season with salt.
• Make the hash: heat the oil and the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the Porkette and the scallions and cook until the Porkette starts to brown. Add 2 cups of fried potatoes and cilantro, then 1/4 cup sauce and stir until the potatoes are just coated. Taste and add a tablespoon more if you like; reserve remaining sauce for another use. Serve with fried eggs.

PAT'S BBQ HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over low heat, add the potatoes and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 6 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and reserve.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion and peppers and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the vegetables to a bowl and reserve.
• Into the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the potatoes in a single layer. Let cook for 4 to 5 minutes so they form a slight crust. Turn the potatoes and continue to cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add the paprika and seasoning and continue to stir until the potatoes are cooked and crisp. Stir in the onion and bell pepper mixture. Season again with salt. Remove to a serving dish and garnish with parsley.
