POTATOES, OLIVES & ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, bring back to a boil, and simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Remove the potatoes from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside to cool slightly.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle cut them into wedges with a sharp knife.
• Pit the mixed olives with a cherry pitter or small sharp knife and cut them in half.
• Using a sharp knife cut the anchovy fillets into thinner stripes
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add the potato wedges and rosemary. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes or until the potatoes are golden.
• Stir in the olives and anchovies and cook for 1 minute or until completely warmed through. Transfer the potato mixture to warmed serving plates and serve.
• Add salt.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES & LEMON

Steps:

• Adjust the rack to the lower third and preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the potatoes with the salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, shallow pan (1-inch deep). Roast, without turning or stirring, until the underside are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the anchovies, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Turn the potatoes over with a spatula and roast for 10 minutes more. Toss with the garlic and roast for 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the anchovy mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot.

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.
