Mashed Potatoes With Anchovies Recipes

ROASTED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES AND TUNA

Steps:

• In a medium pot, cover potatoes with at least 1 inch of water, and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are very soft, 25 to 30 minutes. You want to overcook them a little, so the insides stay creamy when they're roasted later.
• Drain the potatoes, and let them cool until you can handle them.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use your hands to smash the potatoes to about 3/4-inch thick and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil and a little salt. (The more generous you are with the oil, the crispier the potatoes will get.) Arrange potatoes in a single layer.
• Roast until dark golden and crisp, 40 to 50 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in anchovies and capers, and continue to cook until butter is brown and nutty. Stir in garlic and remove pan from heat.
• Pour brown butter all over the potatoes. Add tuna (or beans) to the pan, and toss well. Season with more salt, if needed, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Scatter herbs and onions over the top and serve.

LEMONY MASHED POTATOES WITH ASPARAGUS, ALMONDS AND MINT

Steps:

• Using a peeler, remove the yellow zest from the lemon in large strips. Cut the peeled lemon into six wedges and reserve for serving.
• Fill a medium saucepan with salted water, add the lemon zest, mint sprigs and garlic, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and boil for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Drain well. Return potatoes, lemon zest and garlic to the pan, discarding the mint sprigs. Add butter, milk, sour cream (soured cream) and 3/4 teaspoon salt and mash until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, cook the asparagus: In a large skillet, melt the butter and oil over medium-high heat until foaming. Add asparagus and cook, turning frequently, until cooked through but retaining a slight bite, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Turn off the heat and use tongs to transfer asparagus to a plate. Add the anchovy, garlic and a pinch of salt to the pan, return to medium heat, and stir continuously until the garlic is starting to turn gold, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in almonds and dried mint, and immediately spoon the mixture into a bowl to stop the cooking.
• Divide potatoes on serving plates. Top with the asparagus and spoon the buttered almond mixture over the top. Serve at once with a sprinkle of fresh mint and the lemon wedges alongside.

BASIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain.
• In a small saucepan heat butter and milk over low heat until butter is melted. Using a potato masher or electric beater, slowly blend milk mixture into potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

MASHED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes in 1/2-inch slices. Rinse under cold water and transfer to a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by an inch and add the salt. Set over medium-high heat, cover, and bring to a simmer. Remove the lid, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
• While the potatoes cook, mash the anchovies, garlic, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with a mortar and pestle, or with a bowl and fork. Combine the anchovy mixture with the cream and warm up for a few seconds in the microwave (or in a small saucepan over medium heat) until hot but not boiling.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Add the anchovy mixture and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set the pan over medium-low heat, and mash the potatoes with a fork or potato ricer, incorporating the other ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and keep warm until ready to serve.

ANCHOVY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• In a steamer set over boiling water steam potatoes, covered, until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a large heavy saucepan cook onion in 4 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add anchovies and cook, mashing them, until they dissolve, about 1 minute. Stir in milk, cream, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and heat until hot but not boiling.
• Force potatoes through a ricer or food mill into pan and stir until smooth. Stir in chives and salt and pepper to taste.
