Crispy Garlic Potato Planks Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed pan with cooking spray.
• In 5-quart Dutch oven, mix potatoes and broth; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with fork; drain, reserving broth for another use if desired. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry. Remove from heat.
• In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic. Pour 1/4 cup of the butter mixture over potatoes; toss to coat thoroughly. Place potatoes in pan. Use bottom of glass or measuring cup to flatten each potato to about 1/2-inch thickness. Drizzle top with remaining butter mixture; season with salt.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, until browned and crispy. Transfer to serving platter; sprinkle with chives.

GARLIC 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, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

CRISPY GARLIC POTATO SKINS WITH SPICY ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• To make the ketchup: Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat. Arrange the tomatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil the tomatoes, turning occasionally, until blackened all over. Set aside to cool slightly. Core and roughly chop the tomatoes with their skins.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, chipotles, cinnamon, allspice, and clove and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until the liquid is slightly syrupy. Add the chopped tomatoes and salt and season with pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Pass the ketchup through a food mill, discard the seeds and skins. Return the ketchup to the saucepan and place over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until very thick, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator at least 3 hours or overnight for the flavors to come together.
• To make the potato skins: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Bake the potatoes on the rack until tender, about 55 minutes. Set the potatoes aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the garlic cloves and olive oil in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until the garlic sizzles, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook until the garlic is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Remove the garlic and reserve.
• Raise the oven to 500 degrees F. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of the flesh intact. Reserve the potato flesh for other recipes (See Cook's Note.)
• Cut the potato halves in half lengthwise and transfer them to a baking sheet. Pour the garlic oil over the potato skins and turn them until completely coated. Arrange the potato skins skin-side down and bake until crispy, turning once, about 15 minutes.
• Season skins with salt, to taste. Transfer the skins to a serving platter and serve with the ketchup. For an extra garlicky punch, chop up the reserved garlic and sprinkle it over the skins.
• Cook's Note: Don't throw away that leftover potato flesh! Use it as thickener for soups or stews, make crispy potato cakes, or whip up a batch of impromptu croquettes.

GARLIC POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, garlic, and the 1 teaspoon kosher salt in an 8-quart pan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook until the potatoes are just tender. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and stir over medium heat for 1 minute to dry the potatoes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the cornmeal and the parsley and mash everything together with a potato masher, leaving the mixture chunky.
• Whisk together the egg, egg yolk, milk, and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Form the chilled potato mixture into 16 cakes about 3/4 inch thick. Put the remaining 5 tablespoons cornmeal in a shallow dish and coat the potato cakes in the cornmeal.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the potato cakes, in batches, and brown them on both sides.
• Transfer the potato cakes to a baking sheet and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

CRISPY GARLIC & ROSEMARY SLICES

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium and simmer the potatoes in salted water for 3 mins. Drain well, tip into a shallow baking tray, then gently toss with the oil, garlic, rosemary and seasoning. Spread out in one layer and grill for 10-15 mins or until crisp and golden.

OVEN FRESH SEASONED POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place Parmesan cheese, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and potatoes into a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then shake to coat the potatoes with the seasoning. Spread the potatoes over a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
