Crushed Potatoes With Oyster Bar Butter Recipes

CRUSHED SOUR CREAM POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. (This step can be done ahead of time; keep potatoes covered and warm on the stovetop.)
• Meanwhile, in a medium pot over medium heat, gently simmer the cream and the garlic until garlic is completely tender and cream is reduced by about a third (it will look slightly thicker, about the consistency of melted ice cream), 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Add butter and swirl to melt. (This can also be done ahead; rewarm before proceeding.)
• Using your hands or something like a small dish or bowl, crush the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Pour cream mixture over the potatoes, and season with salt and more pepper. Toss to coat, encouraging the potatoes to break down slightly but remain textured and chunky.
• Stir in sour cream, half the chives and half the dill. Transfer to a large serving bowl and top with remaining chives and dill, and more black pepper and sour cream, if you like.

GOLDEN CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Steam the potatoes, whole, for 20 minutes, until they are still firm yet easily pierced with a fork. Drain.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place a potato on the tray, cut a small cross about 1/4-inch deep into the potato and crush the potato with the back of a wooden spoon to flatten into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Try to crush it just enough so it stays together with most of its skin intact. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Brush the tops of the potatoes with the oil, sprinkle with salt and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.

CRUSHED RED BLISS POTATOES

Steps:

• Put cut potatoes into a saucepan, and cover them with cold water. Put the pot over medium high heat, and boil until tender. Drain off the water, and mash with cream, and butter. Season with the salt and pepper.

CRUSHED POTATOES WITH OYSTER BAR BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix butter, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl with a rubber spatula until smooth. Gently mix in parsley, chives, dill, and tarragon; season with salt and pepper.
• Place potatoes and bay leaf in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, discard bay leaf, and let potatoes cool slightly. Using the flat side of a chef's knife or the heel of your hand, smash potatoes lightly to flatten.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of potatoes and cook in a single layer, turning once, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer potatoes to bowl with herb butter. Wipe out skillet, repeat process with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and remaining potatoes. Toss potatoes in butter until they are all well coated (the warm potatoes should melt the butter).
• Do Ahead
• Herb butter can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Potatoes can be boiled and smashed 1 day ahead; let cool, then cover and chill. Pat dry before frying.

• Using the curved back side of a fork and a cutting board, gently press potatoes to "crush" them. The "crushed" potatoes should break open but not apart too much.
• Gently dredge both sides of each crushed potato in butter mixture in pan and arrange in one layer.
• Roast for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
