Anna Potatoes

Thinly slice about 750g/1½lb. (about 4) waxy potatoes. There's no need to peel them and they are easily sliced if you have a processor, or use a mandolin (a specially made wooden board with a sharp blade). Wash the slices to remove excess starch and dry in a clean tea towel.

Thickly butter a shallow ovenproof dish and arrange the slices in layers, dotting with more butter and sprinkling with seasoning as you go. Cover with buttered paper and foil and bake at 160C/325F/Gas 3 for 1 hour. Can sprinkle the top with cheese and pour over a small tub of cream before cooking.

Baked Garlic Fries

From purplefoods.com Adapted from: Lottie + Doof

8 garlic cloves, minced
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 russet potatoes (about 8oz each), each cut into 12 wedges
3 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
1-½ tsp coarse sea salt
1- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 225°C/440° F.
Combine the garlic and oil in a large bowl, warming it until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Transfer 5 tablespoons of the oil (leaving the garlic in the bowl) to the baking sheet, coating it well.
Add the potatoes to the bowl with the garlic mixture and toss to coat. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the potatoes are translucent around the edges, 3 to 6 minutes, shaking the bowl to redistribute the potatoes halfway through cooking.
Combine the cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the hot potatoes and toss well to coat.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once, until deep golden brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.
Serve with ketchup, mayo or sour cream.

Recipe author's update: "Given that I do not like to use the microwave for cooking, and plastic cling wrap is a little scary to use, I have tried making these garlic fries by par-boiling the potatoes and then letting them steam dry by laying them in a single layer on kitchen napkin. I proceeded with step 5 and it turned out to be SO GOOD!"

This author (Toni) used the microwave, steaming the potatoes and covered with wax paper...again, delicious!"

Butter Garlic Oven Fries with Herbs

Recipe courtesy of Jeff Mauro - "The Sandwich King" - Food Network Television

3 russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into about 12 wedges
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons grated fresh garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of water for 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and then fully pat them dry with paper towels or a lint-free dish cloth.
Layer a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons oil and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add the potatoes to the pan and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread them evenly in a single layer on the pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the bottoms are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, another 10 to 13 minutes.
In a small saute pan, melt the butter with the garlic and let the garlic gently cook over medium-low heat until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
When the potatoes are cooked, toss them with the garlic butter and fresh herbs.

A big ole pile of Jeff's Butter-Garlic Oven Fries with Herbs is an easy and tasty accompaniment to the patty melt.

Champ (Ulster Champ)

From Darina Allen's St. Patrick's Day Dinner Menu

"I am indebted to Deborah Shorley for this recipe, which she calls Claragh Champ; we call it Ulster Champ down here and I prefer to cook the potatoes in their jackets rather than peeling them first." Darina Allen.

Yield: serves 8 as an accompaniment

4 pounds baking potatoes, e.g. Russet or Yukon Gold
4 cups peas
1 cup chopped parsley
2 cups milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 stick butter (traditionally, strong country butter would have been used)

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, drain well, dry over the heat in the pan for a few minutes, peel and mash with most of the butter while hot. Meanwhile bring the milk to the boil and simmer the peas until just cooked, 8-10 minutes approx. Add the parsley for the final 2 minutes of cooking. Add the hot milk mixture to the potatoes. Season well, beat until creamy and smooth and serve piping hot with a lump of butter melting in the centre.

Recipe Contributed by Liz Almeida, Antioch, California

1 pkg. 26-32oz. -shredded frozen Hashbrowns
1- 16oz - Sour Cream
1 can - Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cups - shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 cube Margarine (melted)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Pat into (ungreased) 9”x13” glass baking dish. Bake for 1 to 1-1/2 hours; until sides are crispy and light brown.

Oven-roasted Potatoes with Garlic and Rosemary

2 lbs. unpeeled new potatoes or red potatoes
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
You will also need a shallow, solid roasting-tin measuring approx. 16X12 inches.

Pre-heat the oven to 425°F (220°C/Gas Mark 7)

Begin by measuring the oil into the roasting-rin; then pop it into the oven to heat through. Wash the potatoes, but don't scrape the skins off; then, cut them into cubes of roughly ½-inch size. Place them in a clean tea-towel and dry them as thoroughly as you can, then transfer them to a large plate.

Remove the rin from the oven, place it over direct heat (as the oil needs to be kept very hot) - then carefully slide the potatoes straight into the hot oil. Turn them around to get a good coating of oil, sprinkling in the garlic and rosemary as you go. Return the tin to the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden-brown and crisp. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Scalloped Potatoes with Creme Fraiche

Recipe courtesy Food Network Magazine

2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pounds waxy potatoes (such as Yukon gold or Yellow Finn), peeled
3 cups half-and-half
½ cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/8 to ¼ teaspoon ground mace
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
¼ cup chopped chives

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the garlic all over the inside of a 3-quart baking dish, then mince it. Grease the dish with about 1/2 tablespoon butter. Slice the potatoes about 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well). Combine in a large saucepan with the minced garlic, the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, the half-and-half, creme fraiche, flour, thyme, mace, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chives and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, shaking it to distribute the potatoes evenly. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 hour 5 minutes, occasionally spooning some of the liquid over the top. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

You can also make the scalloped potatoes in individual ramekins; bake about 40 minutes.
