Salt Roasted German Butterball Potatoes With Mascarpone Chives Recipe 435

SALT POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, 8 cups water and the salt in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake to remove excess water. Let the skins dry in the colander so that some of the salt crystallizes.
• Meanwhile, put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Serve the potatoes hot with the butter for dipping.

SALT POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Bring potatoes, salt and 6 cups water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the salt has dissolved. Lower to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Pour the water and potatoes into a colander in the sink and leave to air-dry for 5 minutes; you will see the salt start to form on the outside of the potatoes.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, then pour the melted butter and sprinkle the chives over the top. Toss together, then serve immediately.

SALT-ROASTED GERMAN BUTTERBALL POTATOES WITH MASCARPONE & CHIVES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread half the salt in a medium baking dish. Place potatoes on top of salt, then bury completely with remaining salt. Bake potatoes until tender, 45-60 minutes. Remove potatoes from salt, brushing off any excess, and transfer to a serving dish. Let cool slightly. Gently split potatoes and spoon mascarpone into centers. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with more mascarpone on the side.

BUTTER POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, arrange in a pan or on a sheet of tin foil. Season with salt and pepper. Place butter on top.
• Put potatoes on grill or in the oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix around so they get all buttery and don't burn. Cook until potatoes are soft.

MASCARPONE WHIPPED POTATOES

Steps:

• In large saucepan, place potatoes and enough water to cover. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; cook about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with fork. Drain; return potatoes to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat milk and butter until butter is melted and milk is hot.
• Gradually add hot milk mixture to potatoes, beating with handheld mixer until blended. Add cheese, salt and pepper; beat until potatoes are creamy and fluffy. Spoon into serving bowl; sprinkle with chives.

SALT POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes but keep the skin intact.
• Place the potatoes in a sauce pan, cover with the water and pour in the salt. There are different opinions on the salt to water ratio but they all range from 1:4 to 1:6 so I opted for the middle.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender which would be 20-30 minutes. Be warned! The saline solution boils at a much higher temperature that water. It will be very hot. And It will sound like the potatoes are frying and not boiling.
• When ready, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow to dry so that a thin salt crust forms. You could rinse the salt off but be aware that the potato flesh absorbs almost no salt during cooking. Plus it will not be authentic.
• Serve hot with the butter on top or on the side. The potatoes will stay hot for quite a long time so they will melt the butter if you put it on top. If you opt for butter on the side, melt it and serve it as a dip.
• NOTE: The leftovers keep well in a fridge and reheat well. You can use them as an ingredient in dishes that call for baked or boiled potatoes. I use them in potato salads.
• NOTE: Try using herb butter or substitute the butter with a different dressing or dip.

MASCARPONE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potato halves into a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. A knife should pierce the middle of a potato half easily. Transfer potatoes to a colander and drain thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Whisk mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir egg yolk and milk into mascarpone cheese, whisking until smooth; season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Transfer potatoes to a separate large mixing bowl, add butter chunks to potatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Mash butter into potatoes with a potato masher until fluffy; a few lumps are okay. Whisk mascarpone mixture into mashed potatoes.
• Spread mashed potatoes into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Smooth the top and use the tip of a spatula to lightly press the potatoes and lift up to create little peaks and valleys in the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are heated through and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

MASCARPONE AND CHIVES MASHED AND BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 20-30 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return them to the pot in which they were cooked. Return to the heat briefly to evaporate any excess water that may still be clinging to the potatoes.
• Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the Mascarpone cheese and butter into the potatoes until thoroughly incorporated and fluffy. Beat in the chives or scallions and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the potatoes to a shallow 1 1/2 to 2-quart gratin dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and then dust evenly with paprika. Cover the potatoes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for UP TO 48 hours before heating.
• When ready to heat the potatoes, bring them to room temperature and preheat oven to 350°F Bake the potatoes until hot, puffed, and light brown on top, about 30 minutes. Serve at once.
