Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large baking potatoes
½ pound bacon
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Use a fork to pierce the potato skins.

  • Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

TWO AND TWO POTATOES

Provided by Daphne Brogdon

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large russet potatoes, pricked with a fork
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Gruyere
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and rub with the olive oil. Bake until soft enough to yield to gentle pressure, about 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the milk and butter in a small pot over low heat. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving just a little bit behind to give the skins some structure. Place the scooped-out potato skins back on the baking sheet and set aside.
  • Mash the potatoes with a masher until there are no large clumps. Add the heated milk and butter as well as the Gruyere, sour cream, half of the chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix with a wooden spoon until well blended and smooth. Scoop the mashed potatoes back into the potato skins and top each with some of the Cheddar.
  • Return the potatoes to the oven; bake for 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the remaining chives, and serve.

POTATO KOROKKE



Potato Korokke image

Korokke, or Japanese croquettes, are comforting oval-shaped staples. The dish was introduced to Japan in the late 1800s and is said to have descended from French croquettes. Now, you're as likely to find these crunchy-creamy cakes in a neighbor's kitchen as at a butcher's shop, street vendor or convenience store counter. Potato korokke consists of mashed potatoes folded into a mixture of onion and ground beef, but that formula is a platform for endless variation. Kabocha korokke substitutes potatoes with Japanese squash; kani cream korokke is filled with crabmeat and bound by bechamel; kare rice korokke eats like a distant cousin of arancini; kon kurimu korokke uses corn and cream. Leftover korokke can be reheated and eaten with toasted milk bread for a miracle sandwich.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium russet potatoes (2 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola, plus more for frying
1/2 white onion, minced
1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Tonkatsu sauce, store-bought or homemade (optional)

Steps:

  • Set a medium pot of water to boil. As the water heats, wash, peel and quarter potatoes.
  • Set potatoes in boiling water and cook until they've softened enough to pierce easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander. While potatoes are still warm, return them to the pot. Mash them until you're left with a fluffy mixture, fold in butter until melted and set aside.
  • While potatoes simmer, prepare the meat: Heat a skillet over medium, and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes, then add beef. Cook, breaking the meat into bits, and add soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the meat is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add beef mixture to mashed potatoes in pot, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let mixture cool until it's warm (but not cold).
  • With your palms, form the warm mixture into 1-inch-thick oval-shaped patties no longer than 3 inches in length. Set the patties on a baking sheet as you form them. You should end up with 10 to 12 patties.
  • Cover the patties loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to cool for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, organize your breading station: Place flour in a shallow plate, beat eggs in a shallow bowl and spread panko on another plate.
  • Remove patties from fridge, and begin the breading process: Dip 1 patty into flour, covering completely. Then transfer to the beaten egg, covering completely. Then transfer to the panko, being sure to cover each patty completely. As you complete each patty, set back on the baking sheet before continuing with the next patty.
  • Fill a medium saucepan with oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat to 340 degrees. Deep-fry korokke in batches of 2 at a time. (If you add too many, the oil's temperature will drop too drastically.) Fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. They're already cooked inside, so use their color as your guide. Transfer to a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towels, and repeat with the remaining korokke. Continually regulate the oil's temperature throughout - if the heat is too high, the korokke will burn, and if it's too cold, then your korokke will be soggy.
  • Serve hot, with tonkatsu sauce, if you'd like.

Tips:

  • Start with the right potato. Different types of potatoes are best suited for different dishes. For example, russet potatoes are ideal for baking, while Yukon Gold potatoes are better for roasting or mashing.
  • Season your potatoes generously. Potatoes are a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to season them well. Salt and pepper are a good starting point, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or any other herbs and spices you like.
  • Cook your potatoes until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you are using, but potatoes are generally done when they are soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Don't overcook your potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland. If you are unsure if your potatoes are done, it is better to err on the side of caution and cook them for a little less time.
  • Serve your potatoes immediately. Potatoes are best served hot and fresh. If you are making them ahead of time, reheat them gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Potatoes are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With a little creativity, you can create endless potato dishes that will please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a side dish or a main course, reach for a potato. You won't be disappointed.
