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.

SOUTHWEST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeño and corn, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for a moment. When corn begins to brown, shake pan to distribute for even browning. Remove corn.
• Add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add potatoes. Cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown around edges and release from pan, about 10 minutes. Continue, at least 15 more minutes, turning potatoes to brown all sides without stirring too often. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and lower heat if needed to prevent scorching. When potatoes are tender and golden, add chili powder, corn and beans.
• Turn on broiler. Place rack about 4 inches below. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and run under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

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.

FRIED POTATOES, BEEF AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Slice them thinly in food processor. Heat a nonstick pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, over very high heat.
• Add oil, and reduce heat to medium high. When oil is hot, add potatoes, and brown, stirring often.
• Grind beef in food processor.
• Chop whole onion.
• As potatoes begin to brown, stir in the beef and brown it.
• Wash, trim, seed and slice both kinds of peppers into thick strips, and then slice in food processor.
• Add onion and peppers to the pan, and stir well. Continue cooking over medium heat.
• Wash, trim and dice tomatoes and add to the pan with thyme, salt and pepper. Cover, and continue cooking over medium-low heat until vegetables are soft and flavors are well blended.
