Citrus Potatoes Food

CITRUS AND HERB ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine orange juice, olive oil, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and turmeric in a food processor; pulse to get a thick sauce.
• Place potatoes in the prepared pan and pour sauce over top. Toss to coat.
• Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more. Top with fresh thyme.

CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
• Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.

CITRUS CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• If using fresh sweet potatoes, slice in 1 1/4 inch slices, place in saucepan, cover with water and cook for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes and when cool enough to handle, remove the peel and place in a 2-quart casserole dish that has been lighly oiled or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• If using canned potatoes drain the potatoes and arrange in 2-quart casserole that has been prepared as indicated above.
• In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch; add orange juice, lemon juice, butter, vanilla and orange zest.
• Pour over potatoes and bake 50 to 60 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce.
• These potatoes can be prepared ahead, refrigerated and baked the next day.

CITRUS-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees (see Tip). Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of zest off 2 oranges. Cut the strips into thin matchsticks using a sharp knife and transfer to a large bowl. Juice all the oranges, the lemon and limes into the bowl for 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk in the brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
• Generously peel the sweet potatoes, removing the skin and the tougher layer of flesh just beneath. If your sweet potatoes are larger than 2 inches in diameter, halve or quarter lengthwise. Cut into 1-inch-thick rounds or pieces, add to the citrus mixture and toss to coat.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes and juice mixture to a 9-by-13-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. Dot the top with the butter. Bake, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to cook and coat evenly, until the sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. A paring knife should slide through the potatoes easily and the glaze should be the consistency of syrup.
• Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The dish can be made ahead and cooled, then wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven, covered with foil, or in a microwave, covered with a microwave-safe cover or plastic wrap.
