Categories     Potato

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs fingerling potatoes, whole (or baby potatoes)
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup butter, salted, melted
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot, and fill pot with enough hot water to cover potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt and boil for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Once tender, drain water from potatoes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and place in oven for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Remove from oven and stir in pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Using the curved back side of a fork and a cutting board, gently press potatoes to "crush" them. The "crushed" potatoes should break open but not apart too much.
  • Gently dredge both sides of each crushed potato in butter mixture in pan and arrange in one layer.
  • Roast for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

Cod with Crushed Potatoes and Anchovy-Olive Oil Emulsion image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon capers
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/4 cup pitted and roughly chopped picholine olives
2 teaspoons chopped white anchovy
2 to 3 tablespoons chicken stock or water, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plus 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup very finely chopped shallots
Zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped chives, plus more for garnish
12 fingerling potatoes
1 teaspoon pitted and finely chopped nicoise olives
Coarse salt
4 cod fillets (5 ounces each), skin on

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add capers and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, picholine olives, and 1 teaspoon anchovy and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to the jar of a blender, along with chicken stock or water, and blend on medium speed, adding more chicken stock as necessary until smooth; add mustard and blend to combine. With the blender running, slowly add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and blend until emulsified; set anchovy mixture aside.
  • Place remaining 1 cup olive oil and shallots in a medium skillet over medium heat, whisking shallots constantly until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain shallots and let cool. Transfer cooled shallots to a small bowl and add lemon zest, 1 teaspoon chives, and 1/4 of the fried capers; set aside.
  • Set a steamer basket over a saucepan of boiling water. Place potatoes in steamer basket; cover and steam until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove potatoes from steamer basket and let cool slightly. Peel and discard skins. Place potato flesh in a medium bowl and add nicoise olives, remaining teaspoon anchovy, and 1/2 teaspoon chives; mash together with a fork. Add remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and mash until potatoes are just crushed; season with salt and cover with plastic to keep warm.
  • Fill a large skillet with water to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place fish in a steamer basket, skin side up. Cover and place steamer in skillet. Steam until fish is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Peel skin from fish using a fish spatula, and discard. Lightly coat each fillet with some of the reserved anchovy mixture, then cover with shallot mixture. Divide potato mixture evenly between 4 plates and top each with a fillet. Spoon over any remaining anchovy mixture. Garnish with remaining capers and chives; serve immediately.

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES



Herby Potato Salad With Smashed Olives image

As with coleslaw, there are two schools of potato salad: the mayonnaise-based and the vinegar-based. This recipe plants itself firmly in the latter camp with bright, punchy flavors. The dressing here is a classic red-wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette that develops great flavor after marinating with capers, smashed green olives and thinly sliced shallots. Just fifteen minutes in the dressing softens the shallot's bite, and a quick soak brings canned olives to life. There may appear to be too much dressing when you add the cooked potatoes, but as the potatoes cool, they'll absorb it beautifully. (The key is to add them to the dressing as soon as they are cool enough to handle.) Any small potatoes will work for this recipe, and a mix of colors looks particularly nice. The most important detail is that the potatoes should be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small (or baby) red or Yukon Gold potatoes, all about the same size
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup Castelvetrano or other green olives, pitted and smashed (about 4 ounces)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
  • While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
  • Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are ideal for this recipe, as they hold their shape well when boiled and crushed.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Crush the potatoes gently: You don't want to mash them completely, just break them up into small pieces.
  • Use good quality olives: Kalamata or Castelvetrano olives are both excellent choices.
  • Don't overcook the garlic: Just a few minutes in the olive oil is all it needs.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Salt, pepper, and fresh herbs are all good options.
  • Serve the potatoes while they are still warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

This simple yet flavorful side dish is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your potatoes garlicky or herby, salty or spicy, there is a variation of this recipe that you will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give these crushed potatoes and olives a try.
