Smashed Potato Stew Recipes

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

GARLIC-SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a very large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange potatoes close together in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a fork to press about 1 inch deep in the center of each potato until inner flesh is exposed.
• Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, and salt together in a small bowl to blend. Drizzle over potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the oil mixture, until potatoes are crisp and brown on top, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Add additional oil if potatoes seem dry.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

QUICK SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash and scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush. Put in a large pot, covered with 2 inches of water, over high heat. Bring to a boil then generously salt the water. Cook until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a knife, about 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• In a small saucepan, over low heat, heat the cream with butter until the butter is just melted. Using a potato masher, smash potatoes to break them up. Add the cream and butter mixture and continue to smash to desired consistency. Stir in the chives and season with more salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan, fill with water to cover the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool.
• While potatoes are cooking, combine olive oil, butter, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, savory, sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir with a fork to combine well.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly press down on the potatoes to partially crush them. Spoon the oil-herb mixture over each potato.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the potatoes are beginning to crisp, about 25 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

TURKEY STEW WITH MASHED POTATO DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt butter at medium heat in large dutch oven. Cook onions, carrots, and celery, until onions are translucent.
• Stir in flour to coat vegetables, then slowly stir in chicken stock and milk. Add turkey, green beans, and spices; salt to taste.
• Heat to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, let sauce thicken.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add mashed potato and egg, using a fork to combine. Knead gently in the bowl until a dough comes together. It will be sticky, but if wet to the point of falling apart (which may happen if you added milk or cream to your mashed potatoes), add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until a soft, scoopable dough forms.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering stew. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

• Divide stew among six bowls. Place mashed potatoes in large resealable plastic bag; cut a 2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe ghost potatoes onto stew; garnish with reserved peas. Yield: 6 servings.
