ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROAST BEEF AND POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons oil, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Pat beef dry and add to skillet. Increase heat to high and cook, turning with tongs, until beef is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Brush or spoon rosemary mixture over roast and place in oven. Roast 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place potatoes around roast, tossing in pan juices. Roast until potatoes are tender and beef is medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast should read 120 degrees to 125 degrees), 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer roast to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Toss potatoes with pan juices; tent with foil. Thinly slice meat against the grain and serve with potatoes and horseradish sauce.

GARLIC-THYME MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with 2 tablespoons salt and garlic. Add water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander. Return to pot and cook over medium, stirring frequently, until pale, dry, and a film begins to form on bottom of pot, 2 to 3 minutes. Working in batches, press through a ricer into a large bowl, or mash directly in pot with a potato masher. Cover to keep warm.
• In a small saucepan, combine milk, butter, and thyme. Cook over medium until butter melts and milk is steaming. Discard thyme, then stir milk mixture into potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, top with a pat of butter and more pepper, and serve.

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Infuse cream Bring cream and rosemary to a simmer in a small pot, then remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve (to remove the herbs as well as any skin that might have formed) and clean pot, then return cream to pot. Add butter and heat over medium until melted, stirring to combine. Cover and keep warm (either over lowest setting on the stove or in a warm spot).
• Meanwhile, boil potatoes Peel and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch pieces, then place in a medium stockpot and cover with water. Add the garlic and a generous amount of salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook until potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain well, then return to pot and set over low heat, stirring until the potatoes are thoroughly dry.
• Puree While potatoes are still hot, pass through a ricer or a food mill fitted with the fine disk. Stir in cream mixture and season with salt and pepper. If a finer texture is desired, pass puree through a medium-mesh sieve, pressing on solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much puree as possible. Reheat over medium heat with a little more cream (or water), if necessary, before serving.
• Variations
• For a rustic puree, pass the potatoes through the large disk of a food mill, and enrich with 1/4 cup each of olive oil and butter (omit cream and rosemary). Finish by stirring in chopped flat-leaf parsley and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
• For mashed potatoes, crush the potatoes with a potato masher; add just enough cream and butter to achieve the desired consistency, mashing to combine. Season with salt and white pepper.

POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel potatoes, and place in a bowl of water to prevent discoloring. Rub inside of a 9-by-12-inch oval baking dish with cut sides of garlic. Heat cream, milk, nutmeg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbles form around edge. Season with pepper. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick; transfer to a bowl. Pour warm cream mixture over top. Mix well, using your hands to separate and coat potatoes, and transfer to prepared dish. Gently push potatoes down, and pour cream mixture from bowl over top. Sprinkle with Gruyere. Bake (with a baking sheet placed on the rack below to catch drips) until potatoes are fork tender and top is bubbling and brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

ROAST POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel away any damaged bits from the potatoes, leaving a generous amount of skin. Cut the potatoes in half, or quarters if they are large.
• Pour the oil over the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes without crowding them in one layer. (You may need two dishes; a cast-iron pan will also do.) Add the potatoes, rosemary and garlic, season them with salt and pepper and stir them so they are coated with the oil. Bake for one to one-and-a-half hours, turning the potatoes from time to time.

ROAST PORK WITH PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a heavy-bottomed metal roasting pan. In a food processor, combine oil, garlic, rosemary, fennel seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until a paste forms.
• With a paring knife, gently score the pork's fat layer, making 10 to 15 small 1/2-inch-deep cuts all over. Rub pork with garlic paste, pushing it into cuts. With kitchen twine, tie pork in 1-inch increments and transfer to pan.
• Roast until golden brown, 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center reads 170 degrees, about 2 1/2 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a small bowl and skim fat. Set pan over medium, add wine, and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits, until wine is reduced by half, 4 minutes. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in drippings and broth. Cook, whisking, until sauce thickens slightly, 3 minutes. Serve with pork.

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and add a pinch of salt. Set steamer basket in pot, making sure water doesn't seep through holes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a rapid simmer.
• Add potatoes to steamer basket and steam until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Bring cream, garlic, and rosemary to a simmer in a small pot, then remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Clean pot, then return cream to pot. Add butter and heat over medium until melted, stirring to combine. Cover and keep warm, either over lowest setting on the stove or in a warm pot.
• Remove potatoes from steamer basket and while the potatoes are still hot, pass through a ricer or a food mill fitted with a fine disk into a large bowl. Stir in cream mixture and season with salt and pepper. If a finer texture is desired, pass puree through a medium-mesh sieve, pressing on solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much puree as possible. Reheat over medium heat with a little more cream or water if necessary before serving.
