Fall Potatoes Recipes

FALL POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes and sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer just until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle potatoes and sweet potatoes with salt and cook until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Mix in dates, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until dates are warm and pumpkin seeds begin to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

AUTUMN POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Halve the potatoes and toss them into a large baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, put the cream, butter, herbs, and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, to infuse the cream with flavor. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the hot cream mixture through a strainer over the potatoes, (discard the herbs and garlic), if there is not enough cream to go 3/4 of the way up the potatoes then pour some additional cream on top to make up the difference. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through and top begins to brown. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

FALL RATATOUILLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Make the purée: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onion, sweet potato, potato, apple, thyme, and salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to release their juices and soften.
• Add ½ cup (120 ml) of vegetable stock and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are completely softened. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Remove the thyme stems and discard. Add the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) of vegetable stock and, using an immersion blender, blend until completely smooth. Season with more salt to taste.
• Spread the purée over the bottom of an 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet. Arrange the orange sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, delicata squash, and apple slices in an alternating pattern on top, working from the outside in. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and season with the salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake the ratatouille for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown.
• Drizzle the ratatouille with more olive oil to taste. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
