ASH-ROASTED POTATOES
You don't need a real recipe for these potatoes, but you do need a charcoal grill because these ash-baked tubers won't work with gas. The recipe is a throwback to when clans of kids roamed New York City streets in the early 20th century, building fires in abandoned lots and baking potatoes into the ashes for a hot snack. The potatoes turn so sooty black that it can be hard to tell them apart from the coals, especially in the twilight. The timing of when they will be done will vary depending upon the size of your potatoes and the heat of your fire. Stab them with a skewer to see when they are tender within. To eat, carefully break a potato open and scoop out the smoky, fluffy flesh with a spoon, seasoning it with salt and butter to taste. Or go old-school and wrap the potatoes in a newspaper to protect your fingers before breaking them open and biting the flesh directly from the burned shells.

Steps:
- Build a large and very hot charcoal fire. Put the potatoes in the fire, burying them completely (you can cook something else on top of the grill as the same time). The potatoes will be done after anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes, so keep checking them by piercing them with a skewer. When they feel soft on the inside, they are done. Let cool slightly before eating.
- To eat, slice them open and serve with butter and salt on the side for each person to season the potatoes to taste. A spoon is the easiest way to get to the tender potato flesh. Don't eat the burned shells.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes, and stir.
- Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes after returning to a boil. A fork should easily pierce the potato pieces by the end. Drain and let sit one minute while moisture evaporates.
- Combine olive oil, rosemary (or thyme), garlic, and a few grinds of black pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes.
- Immediately strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.
- Shake the pot that the potatoes are in so that they slam against all sides of the pot, this will loosen the outer layer of the potatoes to form a mashed layer around each potato piece.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet and separate them, spreading them out evenly.
- Transfer to oven and roast, without moving, for 30-35 minutes.
- Using a thin, flexible metal spatula flip potatoes. Continue roasting until potatoes are deep brown and crisp all over, turning and shaking them a few times during cooking, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add the garlic-rosemary mixture (optional) and minced parsley. Toss to coat and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Light a campfire and let it burn down to embers. Nestle potatoes in embers and cook, rotating a quarter turn every 10 minutes or so, until very tender when pierced with a knife, 45-60 minutes. The potatoes will blacken and char on the outside; don't worry, you're only eating the flesh. If you prefer, wrap potatoes individually in foil and cook using the same procedure.
- Using tongs, transfer potatoes to plates and let cool at least 10 minutes. Cut a slit lengthwise down each potato and mash flesh with a fork. Spread 1 tablespoon butter inside each potato and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with gingersnaps and marshmallows, if using, and serve.

Steps:
- Tear off 4 (2-foot-long) sheets of heavy-duty foil and stack. Arrange batatas in 1 layer on top in center. Working with top sheet of foil, fold each side of foil over batatas to enclose, then turn package a quarter turn and fold over each side of second sheet of foil to enclose. Repeat folding with remaining 2 sheets of foil, turning package a quarter turn before each layer.
- Open vents on bottom of grill and remove top grill rack, leaving bottom rack in place. Light charcoal in chimney starter, then pour out onto bottom rack, using tongs to clear a space in center of rack just large enough for foil package. Put package in cleared space and arrange lit coals around package. (Do not put coals underneath or on top of package.)
- Roast batatas, turning package over every 10 minutes, checking and adding charcoal to keep a steady heat around package, until a sharp paring knife inserted halfway into a batata passes through easily but with slight resistance, 45 to 50 minutes.
- While batatas are roasting, stir together butter, lime juice, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a fork until combined well. 3Unwrap batatas carefully. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Season batatas with salt and pepper and serve with lime-cumin butter.
- Batatas can be roasted (instead of grilled), wrapped in 1 layer of foil, in middle of a preheated 400°F oven 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
POTATOES ROASTED IN WARM ASHES
Steps:
- 1. Build a large fire in a fireplace or barbecue using wood, not charcoal briquets. Do not start the fire with fire starter, either, or there will be a residue of petroleum flavor in the ashes.
- 2. When the fire has generated a deep layer of warm embers, carefully move away the logs and bury the potatoes in the ashes. If they aren't completely buried it doesn't matter, but you'll need to rotate them once so they roast evenly. Roast them until they are tender through, which will take about 20 minutes.
- 3. Remove the foie gras from the refrigerator about 8 minutes before you remove the potatoes from the fire so it loses its chill but doesn't soften too much.
- 4. Remove and brush the ashes from the potatoes. Slit them down the center with a sharp knife, and push the ends towards the center to open up the potato. Insert a slice of foie gras into the potato and either season it with the salt and peppers, or leave that for your guests to do. Eat immediately!

Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water by at least 1 inch. Generously season the water with salt and stir in the baking soda. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 18-20 minutes, until a fork can be easily inserted into a potato, but they are not so soft that they fall apart when pierced. Drain the potatoes and let cool until safe to handle, about 20 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Melt together the butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, garlic, and salt. Cook for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant, then remove the pot from the heat.
- On a clean surface, evenly press down on each potato using a flat-bottomed 1-cup measure or plate until they are about ¼ inch thick.
- Brush 2 large baking sheets with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil each. Arrange the smashed potatoes on the baking sheets in a single layer, spacing evenly. Using a pastry brush or small spoon, top each potato with some of the butter-herb mixture. Season with the black pepper.
- Roast the potatoes for 35-38 minutes, gently flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are roasting, make the whipped feta dip: Add the feta, crème fraîche, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor. Process until completely smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Transfer the dip to a small bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, lemon zest, and minced rosemary.
- Arrange the potatoes on a platter and top with any remaining butter-herb mixture, if desired. Serve with the whipped feta dip.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wet each potato slightly with water. Roll in ashes to coat. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil, and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Reduce oven to 350 degrees. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off the top third of each potato and scoop out the insides into a small ovenproof bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Place potato skins on a small baking sheet. Bake the potato pulp mixture and skins until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- When the pulp is warmed through, add butter, scallion, chives, dill, lemon confit, sour cream, caviar, salmon roe, and smoked salmon, and gently stir to combine. Be careful not to break the caviar or salmon roe. Divide the mixture evenly among the warmed potato skins, and top each with a dollop of caviar. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a firm, waxy potato like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes will hold their shape well when roasted.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
- Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: Be generous with the oil and seasonings. This will help the potatoes get crispy and flavorful.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: Roast the potatoes at 425°F (220°C) for best results. This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the potatoes until they are golden brown and tender: The potatoes are done roasting when they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Ash roasted potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect ash roasted potatoes every time.
