CRUSHED RED POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• BEFORE YOU BEGIN Be sure to use small red potatoes measuring 1 to 2 inches in diameter, and use a gentle hand when crushing them. INSTRUCTIONS Place potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in Dutch oven and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until paring knife slips easily in and out of potatoes, about 20 minutes. (Potatoes should be very tender.) Drain potatoes in colander. In now-empty pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Off heat, stir in chives, parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add potatoes to pot. Press each potato with back of spoon or spatula to lightly crush (do not mash; potatoes should still have texture). Stir to coat potatoes with butter mixture (potatoes will break up slightly; this is OK). Transfer to platter. Serve.

HERB ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, as long as they are all about the same size.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the garlic, sage, and crushed red pepper. Generously sprinkle with kosher salt and olive oil. (The potatoes will absorb a lot of oil and salt; they will taste bland if we don't go big here.)
• Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a sheet tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Check the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to rearrange so the potatoes will have even cooking time and get evenly browned. The potatoes should be nice and brown and really well flavored. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
• Hot potato!

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and dry them very thoroughly with a cloth, then leave them aside to dry as much as possible.
• Next, prick the skins a few times all over with a fork, then put a few drops of olive oil over each one and rub it all over the skin followed by some crushed salt.
• Place the potatoes on to the centre shelf of the oven and let them bake for 1¾-2 hours, or until the skins are really crisp.
• Meanwhile, pre-heat the grill.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven, protect your hands with a cloth, slice them in half then scoop out the cooked potatoes into a bowl (careful not to tear the skin).
• Then combine the potato with the cottage cheese or cream cheese, butter, garlic and herbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Pile the mixture back into the potato shells, sprinkle each half with the grated cheddar and pop them under the grill until they are brown and bubbling.
