Smashed Baby Potatoes with Rosemary, Shallots and Sea Salt
If you need the perfect side dish for just about anything, this is it! With Easter just around the corner, these potatoes would compliment a baked ham beautifully. Or pair them with steak or chicken for a nice change. Potatoes can get pretty boring, but you will receive rave reviews from your family and guests when you serve this lovely side dish, I promise! Be sure to double the recipe if you are feeding more than 4-5 people.
Thank you to my local Nugget Market for this fabulous recipe!
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds baby potatoes (red potatoes, Yukon golds, fingerling potatoes)
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
Maldon Sea salt flakes or regular sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 small bunch fresh rosemary leaves, roughly chopped (about 2-3 stems)
2 shallots, sliced thin
METHOD
Place washed baby potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water ( at least 2 inches above potatoes) and heat on high. Bring to a boil, quickly reduce heat and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain water and let stand for 10 minutes. Crush each potato to about half its height with a flat utensil ( I use a spatula) then place on a lined baking sheet.
Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Melt 6 tablespoons of butter with the crushed garlic. Spoon butter/garlic mixture over smashed potatoes, then season with salt, pepper and chopped rosemary. Roast potatoes in preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until edges are browned.
While potatoes are roasting, caramelize shallots in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, over low heat, stirring often. Set aside. When potatoes are browned, sprinkle with shallots and season with salt to taste.
4-5 servings

Easy Irish Soda Bread (Ina Garten recipe)
Переглядів 9143 місяці тому
Irish Soda Bread is a slightly sweet quick bread that is especially popular around Saint Patrick's Day. Baking soda and buttermilk serve as the rising agent instead of yeast, which makes this a very quick, but delicious loaf of bread.

    A lot of recipes insist on using clarified butter, but Pam just used unsalted butter. Her mother inlaw is Greek and she uses butter instead of clarified butter, so I think must be ok to do so. Any bad experience anyone had using butter instead of clarified butter?

Out of a sea of baklava recipes on the internet and youtube, my husband and I decided to give yours a try together, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. We both think your style and technique in the kitchen are truly exceptional, making the process not only easy to follow but also very enjoyable.

  • @juliesherwood573
    @juliesherwood573 4 місяці тому

    Hi Pamela! Just baked a loaf (it’s cooling) and have a few questions. I didn’t have bread flour so used regular. It is very brown on top (actually looked almost perfect after first 30 minute bake). Do you have to bake it for that extra 15 minutes or can you reduce that time? Also, as with other Dutch oven bread tries, parchment paper stuck to bottom of loaf so I have to (patiently) pick it off. Are there different qualities of paper? (I live in Canada) Will let you know how it turned out once it cools down…and will try again with bread flour. SO easy!!!

    • @pamelasfavoriterecipes7998
      @pamelasfavoriterecipes7998 4 місяці тому

      Hi! You definitely need to let the bread bake the total of 45 minutes. It will be quite dark on top, which is normal. And it will be very hard at first when you take it out of the oven, but the crust will soften somewhat as it cools. Remember to let your bread cool before cutting. I have absolutely no idea why your bread is sticking to the parchment paper. I have never had that happen, and I have used multiple brands of parchment paper. Very odd!

    • @juliesherwood573
      @juliesherwood573 4 місяці тому

      Tried a different parchment paper and the bread did not stick…at all! I think the previous paper was from the dollar store. Lesson learned. And the bread flour worked a lot better. Now if I can just find a sharp enough bread knife to cut it with, I will be a very happy camper.
