NEW POTATOES IN WHITE SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)



New Potatoes in White Sauce Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds red new potatoes, peeled or scraped, then cut into 1 to 1 1/2" chunks (can leave whole if small)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/3 stick (5 1/2 tablespoons) margarine or salted butter
Parsley for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with water then add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium/medium-high heat; cook until just tender. (Do not overcook or they will fall apart in the sauce.) Drain some of the water off, if needed, so that the potatoes are less than half covered. Stir 1 1/4 cups of the milk into the potatoes and bring back up to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup milk and the flour until completely smooth. Once potatoes are boiling again, pouring in a thin stream while stirring rapidly, add the flour mixture to the potatoes and cook until thickened on medium/medium-low heat, stirring frequently. If sauce is not thick as preferred, it can be adjusted by whisking together a little more milk and flour and stirring it into the potatoes and sauce. When thickened, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add butter and cover the pot until it melts. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with parsley, if desired. Great accompaniment for pork chops or baked ham and cornbread.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

For roasted-garlic and vegetable stock:
1 large head garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1 leek, quartered and washed
1 onion, left unpeeled, quartered
2 carrots, quartered
1 parsnip, quartered
2 celery ribs, quartered
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/3 cup soy sauce
6 cups cold water
For potatoes:
4 pounds boiling potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
For gravy:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Roast garlic and make stock:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Separate 6 cloves from garlic (do not peel), drizzle with a little olive oil, and double-wrap tightly in foil. Roast until garlic is very soft, about 45 minutes.
  • While garlic roasts, heat oil (2 tablespoons) in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook vegetables, remaining garlic cloves (separated but not peeled), bay leaf, and peppercorns, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in wine and boil until most has evaporated. Add soy sauce and water and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
  • Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup. If you have more than 4 cups, boil to reduce; if less, add water.
  • Boil potatoes:
  • Unless they are very small, cut potatoes (peeled if desired) into 2-inch pieces. Generously cover with cold water in a 5-quart saucepan and add 2 teaspoons salt. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking liquid and stir butter and oil into it. Drain potatoes, then return to pan along with reserved liquid and coarsely mash. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered.
  • Make Gravy while potatoes cook:
  • Mash roasted garlic to a purée.
  • Melt butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and garlic purée and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Slowly add stock, whisking, then simmer 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons
1 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 to 3), patted dry with paper towels (see Tip)
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 3/4 teaspoons dried oregano, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
  • Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
  • Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
  • Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
  • To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.
