Saucy Potatoes With Chicken Or Pork Recipes

SIMPLE SAUCY POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine the remaining ingredients, reserving 1/3 cup bacon crumbles; pour over potatoes and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Top with reserved bacon and if desired, chopped chives and coarse cracked pepper.

PAPRIKA CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potato in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, until potato is tender. Drain, and cut the potato into chunks.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Rub chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, salt, and pepper. Fry in butter, turning as needed, until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan, and cut into bite size pieces. Set aside.
• Pour the olive oil into the skillet, and add the onion. Cook and stir until onion is translucent. Stir in the half-and-half, white wine, and potato. Simmer for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Return the chicken to skillet, and cook until heated through. Season with remaining paprika, and serve.

CHICKEN, PORK AND POTATOES IN PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• If using salted peanuts, rinse and pat dry. Grind peanuts in food processor till finely ground. (You can use unsalted, unroasted peanuts and toast them over low heat in a frying pan for about 2-3 minutes before grinding.).
• Heat half the olive oil in a heavy skillet or dutch oven. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 10 minutes, or till golden brown all over.
• Transfer chicken to a plate using a slotted spoon.
• Add the pork to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and saute for 3-4 minutes, till golden brown.
• Transfer to plate with cooked chicken.
• Add remaining oil to pan and lower heat. Stir in onion and cook for 5 minutes, adding water if it begins to stick.
• Stir in garlic, paprika and cumin and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the sliced potatoes, stir and cover the pan; cook for 3 minutes. (potatoes that break down during boiling work best here - I used russets).
• Add the stock and ground peanuts; bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 20-30 minutes.
• Return chicken and pork to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat, replace the lid and simmer for 6-8 minutes, till meat is cooked through.
• Avoid overcooking so that the meat does not become tough and stringy.
• Garnish the stew with egg slices, black olives and parsley if desired (I didn't use any of these and it was still very nice).
• Serve over cooked rice (unless you really don't like the idea of potatoes and rice together - I loved it!).

CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut off and discard 1/2 inch from the top of each garlic head.
• Combine butter, Italian dressing mix, thyme, and paprika in a large bowl.
• Place chicken in a large roasting pan. Spread 1/2 of the butter mixture over the chicken skin.
• Add potatoes to the bowl with the remaining butter mixture; toss until coated. Place potatoes in the pan around chicken, then add garlic heads, with cut-sides up.
• Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from the oven, and let rest 10 minutes.
• While the chicken is resting, remove garlic from the pan. Allow it to cool slightly, then slip garlic cloves from the skins. Place 1/2 of the garlic in a bowl; stir in potatoes and transfer to a platter.
• Carve chicken and transfer to the platter.
• Skim and discard fat from pan drippings; transfer drippings to a bowl. Mash remaining garlic into the drippings. Serve with chicken and potatoes.
