Best 5 Potato Gumbo Recipes

SPICY TURKEY SWEET POTATO GUMBO

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the turkey thigh pieces until browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes. Set the turkey aside. In the same pot, place the sausage, and break into chunks with a spatula. Cook and stir the sausage until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
• Stir the onion, celery, and green pepper into the pot. Continue to cook and stir until the onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; then stir in the flour. Cook and stir the mixture until the flour forms a coating on the sausage and vegetables and begins to brown, 5 to 8 more minutes.
• Mix in the sweet potato, thyme, oregano, chicken broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf, and bring the gumbo to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cooked turkey and hot sauce, and simmer until the turkey is heated through. Discard the bay leaf before serving.

POTATO SALAD FOR GUMBO RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Cover the peeled and cubed potatoes with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat by 1 or 2 marks and cook (uncovered) until potatoes are tender. Mine were done in about 10 minutes. Set aside in a colander to drain and cool somewhat while you chop the celery, onion, and green onion. Transfer drained potatoes to a mixing bowl, and using a potato masher, coarsely mash the potatoes, leaving some small chunks. Top with the chopped veggies, along with the remaining ingredients. Stir gently to combine, adding a little more mayo for desired consistency. Transfer salad to a serving bowl and garnish top with paprika, if desired.. or add a scoop right in the bowl of gumbo and rice and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers. Note: In the other photo it is shown with my Cajun Chicken & Sausage Gumbo in my Soups cookbook.

POTATO GUMBO

Steps:

• For the potato gumbo:
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat.
• Add the onions and saute until golden brown. Add the garlic and smoked bacon and continue to saute.
• Once the bacon has cooked and becomes crisp, add the celery, Swiss chard stems, and green pepper, saute until tender. Remove the bacon mixture from the pan, put in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same saute pan, add the flour and bay leaves.
• Stir with a wooden spoon incorporating the flour and oil to form a paste. Cook until the flour becomes brown and nutty in color. Add the chicken stock, water, and cayenne, stir.
• Add the potatoes and reserved bacon mixture to the liquid. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender and the liquid reduces, achieving a thick consistency, approximately 30 minutes.
• Add the Swiss chard leaves, season with salt, and pepper, cooking until the leaves are wilted, serving.

POTATO GUMBO

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add half of the oil. When it is shimmering and hot, add the celery, green bell pepper, and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the onion has become just barely translucent.
• Add the cayenne and filé powder, stirring to coat the vegetables. Continue to cook until they just start to brown on the edges.
• Remove the cooked vegetables to a crock pot set on "high".
• Returning to the large skillet, add the remaining half of the oil and the andouille sausage. Saute in the hot oil until the sausage pieces start to brown on the sides. Add the molasses and stir to coat the sausage in it, watching so that the molasses does not burn.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet to de-glaze and get up all the darkened, stuck bits. Remove the molasses-crusted andouille and chicken broth and add it to the vegetables in the crock pot.
• Add the potato pieces (I prefer to keep the skins on) to the crock pot and cover it.
• Depending on the power of your crock pot, cook for 3-5 hours or just until the potatoes are tender.
• Taste the gumbo and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve.
