Crispy Garlic Rosemary Slices Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC CHIPS

Steps:

• Using a small slicer or a mandoline, slice the garlic very thin.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Line a plate with two paper towels. To test the temperature of the oil, add a slice of garlic. If it sizzles, add the rest of the garlic and cook until just crisp and light golden brown, a matter of seconds. Use a flat slotted skimmer to keep the slices from sticking together as they cook, and transfer them to the paper towels to drain the moment they turn color. (The oil can be strained and used for another batch or reserved for another use.)

ROSEMARY SLICES

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until creamy and smooth, and stir in the egg until well incorporated. Stir in the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rosemary, and baking powder until well blended. Cut the dough into 2 equal-sized pieces, and shape each piece into a log about 1 1/4-inch in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or place in freezer for about 1 hour.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut the logs of dough into thin slices, 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheets, and bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the edges turn golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool for 1 minute on baking sheets before removing to wire racks to finish cooling.

CRISPY ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil.
• While the water heats, cut the potatoes in half (do not peel them).
• Put them into the boiling water, and simmer them just until they are tender (check them often; they must not overcook, or they will break into pieces).
• When the potatoes are done, immediately drain them, and put them into a large bowl filled with water and ice; let them sit in the water for at least 5 minutes, then drain them.
• Cut them into large crosswise slices, about 1/2 inch thick, and place the slices on a kitchen towel to absorb any excess water.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the olive oil, then quickly add the potatoes.
• Salt and pepper the potatoes well.
• Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes, until they are a deep golden color on their undersides.
• Turn the potatoes over, either by shaking the pan or by using a spatula; try not to break them.
• Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes more; sprinkle them with the garlic and rosemary.
• Shake the skillet or use a spatula to turn the potatoes again, and cook them another 2 minutes.
• Serve the potatoes hot.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together butter, oil, chopped rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices. Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices 1 on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form 3 rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes.
• Bake 1 hour. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
