OLIVE OIL AND HERB CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, add a generous pinch of salt and simmer over medium heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer them to a plate to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the shallot, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
• Using your fingers, lightly crush the potatoes and transfer to the large bowl. Add the olive oil and mix gently, then fold in the arugula, parsley, dill and chives. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve right away.

BUTTERY ROASTED CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.

COD WITH CRUSHED POTATOES AND ANCHOVY-OLIVE OIL EMULSION

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add capers and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, picholine olives, and 1 teaspoon anchovy and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to the jar of a blender, along with chicken stock or water, and blend on medium speed, adding more chicken stock as necessary until smooth; add mustard and blend to combine. With the blender running, slowly add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and blend until emulsified; set anchovy mixture aside.
• Place remaining 1 cup olive oil and shallots in a medium skillet over medium heat, whisking shallots constantly until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain shallots and let cool. Transfer cooled shallots to a small bowl and add lemon zest, 1 teaspoon chives, and 1/4 of the fried capers; set aside.
• Set a steamer basket over a saucepan of boiling water. Place potatoes in steamer basket; cover and steam until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove potatoes from steamer basket and let cool slightly. Peel and discard skins. Place potato flesh in a medium bowl and add nicoise olives, remaining teaspoon anchovy, and 1/2 teaspoon chives; mash together with a fork. Add remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and mash until potatoes are just crushed; season with salt and cover with plastic to keep warm.
• Fill a large skillet with water to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place fish in a steamer basket, skin side up. Cover and place steamer in skillet. Steam until fish is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Peel skin from fish using a fish spatula, and discard. Lightly coat each fillet with some of the reserved anchovy mixture, then cover with shallot mixture. Divide potato mixture evenly between 4 plates and top each with a fillet. Spoon over any remaining anchovy mixture. Garnish with remaining capers and chives; serve immediately.

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
• While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
• When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
• Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.
