Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
1 1/4 pounds thin asparagus spears
10 blades fresh chives, snipped or chopped
8 (4-ounce) lake or rainbow trout fillets
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle for potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup (about 6 ounces) whole blanched almonds
A handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 lemon, wedged

Steps:

  • Place oven on low and rest a platter on an oven rack.
  • Add potatoes to a deep pot of boiling water; just enough to cover potatoes. Salt water and add potato halves. The potatoes will cook for about 12 minutes for fork tender.
  • Hold asparagus spears at each end. Snap asparagus tips from tough ends by bending spears. Place spears in a colander. Rest colander on top of the potato pot and place a cover over the colander. The asparagus will steam while the potatoes cook. Do this the last 5 or 6 minutes that the potatoes are cooking.
  • Potatoes will be just about done when the last of your trout is going into the skillet (method follows.) When the potatoes are tender, take a minute to drain them and return them to warm pot. Leave asparagus covered and set aside. Dress potatoes with chives, a drizzle of olive oil and a little salt. Leave in warm pot until trout is on the table, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Combine egg and milk in a tin pie plate, beat with a fork. Place a cup of flour in a second pie tin and season well with salt and sparingly with pepper. Coat trout fillets in egg and milk, then in seasoned flour. Collect fillets on a plate until all of them are dredged and ready to be cooked.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to your skillet, half a turn of the pan in a slow stream. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter foams, add trout and gently saute 4 fillets for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer trout fillets to warm platter in oven.
  • Return pan to the stove and add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. When butter foams, repeat cooking process. When all of the trout is cooked, add last tablespoon of butter to the pan. When the butter melts, add almonds and brown until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove trout from oven and pour almonds over the platter. Garnish platter with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, steamed asparagus spears, and potatoes.

MASHED POTATOES AND STEAMED GREEN BEANS



Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Green Beans image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds potatoes, preferably Idaho, peeled and quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 pound green beans, trimmed
Olive oil
2 to 3 strips bacon (about 2 ounces), cut crosswise into pieces
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 can (28 ounces) whole, peeled tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • You can boil the potatoes and steam the beans at the same time. Start with the potatoes: put them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender when you stick a fork in them, about 30 minutes. At the same time, combine the cream and butter in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, start on the beans. Break the beans in half and put them in a colander large enough to fit over the pot the potatoes are cooking in; set aside. Now heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pan, crushing them in your hand as you do so, to break them up. Stir in the sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • When the potatoes have cooked about 20 minutes, put the colander over the pot and cover the whole thing with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until the beans are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the colander from pot and dump the beans into the pan with the tomato sauce; fold in the beans and season with salt and pepper.
  • Now drain the potatoes in the same colander and dump them back into the pot. While the potatoes are still hot, pour in the warm cream and butter and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper.

STEAMED POTATOES



Steamed Potatoes image

This is one of our favorite potato recipes and so quick to fix while you're grilling or cooking something else. I used a food steamer for years and my daughter talked my daughter-in-law and me into going to a Taste of Home show and the demonstrater made these an easier way. This doesn't heat up the kitchen in the summer,...

Provided by Donna Brown

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 or 6 medium red potatoes, washed and cubed, peel if you want to
1 medium onion, sliced
minced garlic, to taste
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
butter
large zip lock steamer bag (they come in a smaller size if you don't want to cook this amount)
1 cup monterrey jack shredded cheese (cheddar is good, too)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 - 2 Tbsp parsley
salt and pepper, seasoning salt, garlic salt
toppings:
butter, more cheese, oscar meyer real bacon pieces, sour cream, chopped green onions or whatever toppings you prefer

Steps:

  • 1. Put EVOO into steamer bag. Add salt, pepper, parsley and seasonings. Close bag and mash bottom of bag to dissolve and distribute seasonings into oil, add a bit more oil if you need to. Add potatoes, onion, garlic and about a tablespoon of butter. Seal bag and cook on high in microwave for 7 minutes. Carefully shake bag, cook 7 more minutes. Shake again and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. (The instructions say to cook 14 minutes, but I add an additional 5 minutes.) Open bag (careful, it's steamy) and pour potatoes into serving bowl, add cheeses and butter, carefully - so as not to mash potatoes - mix to melt cheeses and butter into potatoes. Top with bacon pieces, sour cream or your choice of toppings. NOTE: When you can find a smoked cheese, that's really good, too, it gives the potatoes a really good smoky flavor, I have cut up smoked sausage and cooked in bag with potatoes, yumm. If I'm cooking corn, broccoli, etc. for that particular meal, I'll re-use the same bag and steam that, too.

CHEESY-STEAMED POTATOES (MICROWAVE)



Cheesy-Steamed Potatoes (Microwave) image

This is a good recipe if you don't want to heat up the kitchen by using your oven. Delicious and crowd-pleasing.

Provided by Jeanne Benavidez

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 or 6 medium red or gold potatoes, washed and cubed, peel if desired
1 medium onion, sliced
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
3 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp butter
1 large plastic steamer bag
1 1/2 c cheddar/jack cheese, shredded
1 - 2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
butter
real bacon pieces
sour cream
chopped green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Put oil into steamer bag. Add salt, pepper, parsley and seasonings. Close bag and mash bottom of bag to dissolve and distribute seasonings into oil, add a bit more oil if you need to.
  • 2. Add potatoes, onion and about a tablespoon of butter. Seal bag and cook on high in microwave for 7 minutes. If you are using a regular ziploc bag, just close the bag half-way to allow for steam to release.
  • 3. Carefully shake bag, cook 7 more minutes. Shake again and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.

  • 5. Top with bacon pieces, sour cream or your choice of toppings.

Tips for Steaming Potatoes:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when steamed. For a creamier texture, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho.
  • Cut potatoes evenly: This ensures even cooking. For smaller, round potatoes, halve or quarter them. For larger potatoes, cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  • Use a steamer basket or colander: Place the potatoes in a steamer basket or colander set over a pot of boiling water. Make sure the potatoes are not touching the water.
  • Cover the pot: This helps the potatoes steam more quickly and evenly.
  • Check the potatoes regularly: Depending on the size and type of potatoes, they should be cooked in 10-15 minutes. Pierce them with a fork to check for doneness. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • Season the potatoes: Once cooked, season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Steaming is a healthy and versatile way to cook potatoes. It preserves their nutrients and results in a light, fluffy texture. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy perfectly steamed potatoes as a side dish, in salads, or as part of a main course. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to cook potatoes, give steaming a try!
