Breakfast Potato

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes (about 3 medium or 2 large potatoes), diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparation

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water to about one inch above the potatoes. Add a pinch of kosher salt. With the saucepan uncovered, bring the water to a boil, then cook for an additional minute or two to parboil the potatoes.
  2. While the water comes to a boil, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet, over medium heat. When hot, add onion, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. To test the potatoes for doneness, stick the tip of a paring knife into a few of the potato cubes. The flesh should feel slightly firm, but softer and more tender than before cooking. The potatoes should not feel mushy. Drain the potatoes in a colander, shake off any excess water, and cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter in a wide cast iron pan or large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the potatoes, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and toss to coat with the oil. Spread the potatoes in a single layer across the bottom of the pan, working in batches if necessary. Cook the potatoes, without stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes, so the bottoms become nicely browned and crispy.
  5. Add cooked onions, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately.

Nepalese Potato Salad

Side Dish Potato Curry

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes
  • 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons mustard or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Scrub the potatoes under cold running water and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a small or medium-size saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pan, and gently boil until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or knife but still firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Fish the pieces out of the water with a slotted spoon and place them in a medium-size bowl.
  2. Drop the peas into the potato cooking water and boil them just to warm them up, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain them in a colander, give them a good shake or two to remove any excess water, and add the peas to the potatoes along with the onion.
  3. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil appears to shimmer and smells quite pungent, sprinkle in the coriander, cumin, and fenugreek seeds. Allow them to sizzle and turn reddish brown, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle in the cayenne and turmeric, staining the oil with their sunny dispositions. Pour most of the oil out over the potatoes and peas, holding back the seeds in the skillet as much as you can. Scrape these seeds into a mortar and pulverize them into a coarse powder with a pestle. Scrape this blend into the bowl with the potatoes.
  4. Add the yogurt, cilantro, and salt to the potatoes and mix. Serve at room temperature.

Tartiflette

Main Course French Potato

Ingredients

  • 1 Reblochon [1 wheel Reblochon de Savoie]
  • 1 kg de pommes de terre à chair ferme [2 lb firm-flesh potatoes]
  • 200 g de lardons fumés [200g bacon, chopped]
  • 2 gros oignons (200 g environ) [2 large onions, around 200g]
  • 10 cl de vin blanc [1/2 c white wine]
  • Poivre du moulin [fresh-ground pepper]
  • En option : noix de muscade râpée [ground nutmeg (optional)]

Preparation

Préchauffez votre four à 200°C. [Preheat your oven to 400F.]

Épluchez et découpez les pommes de terre en morceaux (environ 5mm). Découpez les oignons en rondelles. [Peel and chop the potatoes into around 1/4" pieces. Slice the onions into rounds.]

Dans une poêle, faites revenir les lardons avec les oignons afin qu’ils commencent à dorer (5-10 min). Ajoutez les pommes de terre et laisser cuire à feu moyen durant 30-45 minutes. Déglacez au vin blanc et laisser cuire 5 minutes. Poivrez (pas besoin de saler avec les lardons), et ajoutez la noix de muscade selon vos goûts. [In a large skillet, cook the bacon and onions until they start to brown (5-10 min). Add the potatoes and let them cook over medium heat for 30-45 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine and cook for five minutes. Season with pepper (no need for salt with the bacon), and add nutmeg to taste.]

Découpez votre Reblochon en deux dans le sens de l’épaisseur en conservant la croûte. Conservez une face pour mettre sur le dessus du plat afin de faire gratiner (que vous découperez en 2 ou 4 selon la forme de votre plat), et découpez l’autre face en petits morceaux à intégrer dans la préparation pommes de terre-lardons-oignons. [Cut your Reblochon in half lengthwise, keeping the rind. Keep one of the halves to melt on top of the dish (which you can cut into 2 or 4 depending on the shape of your dish), and cut the other half into small pieces to mix into the potato-onion-bacon mixture.]

Dans un plat allant au four, disposez le mélange pommes de terre-lardons-oignons et les morceaux de reblochon puis déposez sur le dessus le ½ reblochon pour gratiner, croûte vers le haut. [In an oven-safe baking dish, add the potato-bacon-onion mixture and the pieces of Reblochon, then set the half-reblochon on top to melt, rind toward the top.]

Placez au four durant 15 à 20 minutes afin que le Reblochon dore. Servez chaud avec une salade verte. [Put in the oven for 15-20 minutes so that the Reblochon melts. Serve hot with a green salad.]

Stoofvlees met friet (Carbonnade avec frites)

Main Course Beef Belgian Potato Stew

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • butter, cubed
  • 1 kg round steak, in equal 1–1.5" pieces
  • 250g of bacon (thick slices, not lardons; optional)
  • fresh-ground black pepper
  • salt
  • 2–3 bottles of Sint Bernardus Abt 12
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 whole clove
  • 1 tbsp. Liège syrup [CP: this was 2 tbsp., 1 tbsp. needs testing] OR 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • enough slices of brown sandwich bread or pain d’épices to cover the surface of your pot
  • 2 tbsp. (sharp) mustard
  • dash white vinegar
  • 1 kg potatoes
  • mayonnaise

Preparation

Heat a large stew-pot over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Cook the onions for around 10 minutes, covered, and make sure not to let them brown. If using the bacon, add it now, raise the heat a bit, and stir regularly, still keeping it covered as much as possible. When the bacon is cooked (or if you’re not using it), take everything out of the pot (leaving the juices) and reserve.

Add another knob of butter. Sear the meat cubes on all sides until golden brown, seasoning with a bit of salt and pepper. Reserve the meat. If you are using cassonade instead of Liège syrup, add it to the pot now, mix with all of the meat and onion juices, and let it reduce by half to make a “syrup.”

Return the onions (and possibly bacon) and the meat to the pan. Deglaze with the beer, adding enough just to cover the meat all the way, and bring to a boil. Tie the thyme and bay leaves together and add the herbs, clove, and Liège syrup (if using) to the pot. Smear the bread with the mustard and add it to the pot, smeared side down.

Let the stew simmer for three and a half hours, uncovered. The cooking time will depend on the quality of the meat. Stir occasionally to check doneness. Cover only when the sauce has sufficiently thickened.

Finish the stew with a dash of white vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

For the frites:

Peel the potatoes and cut them into strips (ideally, 1.3cm). Do not wash them, as this rinses off the starch. Heat the fryer to 140C. Fry the fries for the first time, but do not let them brown. Cool them in a baking dish with some paper towels. Heat the fryer to 180C, and fry the fries until golden brown and crispy. Drain the fries over some paper towel and sprinkle with salt.

Serve a portion of stew with fries and a spoonful of fresh mayonnaise.
