A POTATO DISH FOR JULIA
This recipe is adapted from "The Pleasures of Cooking for One" by Judith Jones, Julia Child's longtime editor at Knopf, who gave it to The Sunday Times Magazine in 2009. It is easily prepared and a savory accompaniment to a steak or roast, crisp and buttery, with just a hint of garlic.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and slice them very thin, about 1/8-inch thick. Peel and mince the garlic, then with the flat of your chef's knife, mash it with a little salt into a paste. Work about 1 teaspoon of the butter into it and set it aside.
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butter in a small frying pan over medium-low heat, and lay in half the potato slices, overlapping slightly, to fill the bottom of the pan. Salt and pepper them lightly, and smear the garlic paste on top. Add the remaining potatoes, season lightly and set a small cover askew on top of the pan. After about 8 minutes, turn the potatoes by setting a small, sturdy plate on top of the pan and flipping them over and onto it. They won't hold together in perfect shape, but don't worry.
- Heat the remaining butter in the pan and slide the potatoes back in. Let them cook, semicovered, for 5 minutes, then uncovered for a couple minutes more, until nicely browned. Slide them onto a warm plate, season to taste and let them mingle with whatever juicy meat you're treating yourself to for dinner.

JULIA CHILD'S PROVENçAL POTATO GRATIN
Potatoes aren't usually associated with Provençal cooking, but every French region must have its gratin: sliced potatoes baked into a delicious mass that is the perfect side dish for roasts. The binder can be milk, broth, cream or, as in this case, the natural juices of vegetables like tomatoes and onions. With less liquid, this gratin is more foolproof than most. Anchovies give the dish a South of France funk, but you can leave them and the cheese out to make a vegan gratin.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and place a rack at the middle level. In a large saucepan, combine onions and 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir to coat over low heat. Sprinkle lightly with salt. At a gentle simmer, cook uncovered until onions are softened and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not brown; lower the heat if necessary. When done, fold in tomatoes just until heated through. Set aside.
- In a small food processor or a mortar, add the anchovies - anywhere from 6 to 12 fillets, depending on their size and your taste. Add garlic, herbs and a dozen grinds of pepper. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil (or use the oil from the anchovy can, if you like). Crush or pulse together into a chunky paste, thinning with oil as needed to make a loose, fluid mixture.
- In a medium-size baking dish, spread a quarter of the onion-tomato mixture. On top, arrange half the potato slices, then half the anchovy mixture. Add half the remaining onion-tomato mixture. Build one more layer with remaining potato slices, anchovy mixture and onion-tomato mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.
- If the dish is very full, place on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and have absorbed all of the juices in the bottom of the dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Test by tasting a bit of potato; it should be soft all the way through, with no raw taste. If the top is browning too fast, cover very loosely with a sheet of foil. If the top is not brown enough when the potatoes are cooked, broil briefly until deliciously glazed.
- Serve gratin hot or warm. Can be cooled and reheated later the same day, but do not refrigerate.

SLICED POTATOES SIMMERED IN BASIL (JULIA CHILD)
From Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Julia recommends either basil or tarragon. These potatoes are very, very rich. Serve them with a lighter entree that won't compete.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and cut innto slices about 1/4 inch thick. Drop them into boiling water and bring rapidly back to a boil again. Boil for 3 minutes then drain.
- Make roux: melt the butter in a saucepan and blend in flour. Cook for 2 minutes without browning. Remove from heat and when the roux has stopped bubbling, add the hot milk beating with wire whip until smooth. Blend in the cream, basil, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Return mixture to moderately high heat and stir as sauce thickens and comes to a boil. Simmer 2 minutes. Fold in potatoes. Sauce should just cover the potatoes. Add more milk or cream if needed. Bring to a simmer, correct seasonings, cover and simmer slowly for 10 - 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Before serving, gently fold in the butter and garnish with additional basil.

JULIA'S AMERICAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD
Potato salad is perfect picnic fare, but it is a good side dish any time of year, dressed and garnished in various styles to suit the season. Julia's American-style potato salad is garnished with hard-boiled eggs and crisp bacon bits, chopped pickles, onions and celery, all given a light coating of homemade mayonnaise. Make this at least an hour ahead of time so the flavors have time to ripen, and serve it cool or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and slice each one lengthwise in half, or in quarters if very large; then cut crosswise into half-round or quarter-round slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Put the slices in a saucepan with water just to cover and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt per quart of water. Heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just cooked through. It is essential that they be just cooked through. Bite into a slice or two to be very sure. Immediately remove from the heat and drain the potatoes into a colander, but save a cup of the cooking liquid for dressing the potatoes. Transfer bowl. Stir the cider vinegar with 1/3 cup of the potato water or chicken stock and drizzle this over the potato pieces, turning them gently to distribute it evenly. Let sit 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Add the prepared onion, celery, bacon, pickle, hard-boiled eggs, and chives, and season carefully, to taste. Top with 2/3 cup of mayonnaise (or a mix of mayonnaise and a bit of sour cream) and, with a large rubber spatula, gently fold everything together until well blended. Taste the salad and add more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise as needed.
- Cover the salad and set aside in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so before serving. If it is refrigerated longer, let it come back to room temperature before serving. Taste and adjust the seasoning again.
- To serve, line a bowl or a platter with red-leaf lettuce or other greens, and mound the salad on top. Decorate at the last moment, if you wish, with any or all of the optional garnishes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Peel and slice the potatoes to about 1/8-inch thick with a hand-held mandolin. Soak the potatoes in cold water after slicing for about 15 minutes, drain well.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, toast the unpeeled garlic cloves for about 15 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to toast the garlic cloves evenly. Remove garlic from the pan and allow to cool a bit. Then peel and press the cloves through a garlic press.
- Mix the pressed and toasted garlic cloves with the heavy cream in a glass measuring cup. Heat the cream for 2 minutes in the microwave so it is warmed through. Stir the salt, pepper and thyme into the cream and garlic mixture.
- Layer half the potatoes evenly onto the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of the Swiss cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
- Pour half the cream and garlic mixture over the potatoes and cheese.
- Repeat layers - the other half of the potatoes, the remaining 1 cup of swiss and 1/4 cup of Parmesan and the remaining cream mixture.
- Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 1 hour. The potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a fork.
JULIA'S POTATO SALAD
This is a recipe by Julia Child. I'm always asked to bring this potato salad to all summer get togethers. One friend says that she can't eat any other potato salad, because she just keeps thinking about mine. I use 3/4 mayo and 1/4 sour cream.
