Easy Pan Fried Potatoes Shallots With Parsley Butter Food

PAN FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I used this cast iron skillet, but any skillet will do.
• Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-15 until the potatoes are browned slightly around the edges and cooked halfway through.
• Season liberally with salt and pepper. Then gently stir in the onions. Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently until the potatoes are tender and browned.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

EASY PAN FRIED POTATOES, SHALLOTS WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Potatoes -- Add the potatoes to a bowl or I prefer using a pie plate and add just a tablespoon or so of water and cover with plastic wrap. Now microwave. I like to start at 5 minutes and then check. You want them slightly tender but still firm and not falling apart - remember you are going to finish then in the pan. Once they are done, just remove from the microwave and drain well, you don't want water to hit a hot pan.
• Pan Fry -- Add the shallot and garlic to a medium saute pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter on medium heat and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high to high and add the other tablespoon of butter, potatoes and parsley. I like to let them set for a couple of minutes to brown on the bottom before flipping and stirring breaking them up slightly and then again a couple of minutes on the other side before I stir or flip and again breaking them up a bit. They will start to break apart which is fine. Then add the scallions, salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Peel, quarter and place potatoes in salted water, enough to cover potatoes. Boil till fork tender, drain.
• 2. In a large skillet, add the bacon grease or oil. Heat the grease till a drop of water sizzles. Add the potatoes wedges, in a single layer if possible, to brown evenly. Season. Turning occasionally. Continue frying till most of the potatoes are getting a nice golden color.
• 3. In a sauce pan, add the butter and onion, simmer till onion is tender ,but not browned. Add the butter and onions to the potatoes.
• 4. Continue frying until onions begin to brown. Now is when I add the Cajun spice. Stir to blend seasoning in.
• 5. Add the parsley, stir evenly and serve.

ROASTED POTATOES AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in lowest position.
• Toss shallots with 1 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 13-by 9-inch baking pan, spreading evenly.
• Roast, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden, about 30 minutes.
• Toss potatoes with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then add to shallots.
• Roast, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and potatoes are crusty, 40 to 50 minutes.

CREAMY POTATO & SHALLOT GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat most of the butter in a shallow pan. Add the shallots, bay leaf and thyme, and cook for 10 mins until soft, golden and sticky. Pour in the cream and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat, season with nutmeg and cayenne and leave to infuse.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil, then drain. Butter a large gratin dish, then layer it up with potatoes and cream, finishing with a good ladle of cream and shallots. Use a fish slice to press everything down. You can now cover and chill it for up to a day before baking, if you like. Bake for 40 mins or until golden and the shallots are starting to crisp.

BUTTER AND PARSLEY POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the potatoes in a serving bowl. Toss gently with the butter, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Serve warm.
• Sorting Out Salts
• So many kinds of salt are in stores now that it's hard to figure out which one to use for what. Keep a box of kosher salt, which is coarse-grained and additive-free, on hand for sprinkling into large amounts of water-when you boil potatoes, pasta, or vegetables, for instance. Most cooks use kosher salt for pretty much everything, and sea salt for finishing. Sea salt tends to be rather gray looking (it literally is the product of the evaporation of seawater), with a very delicate flavor as well as some essential minerals. Fleur de sel is a type of sea salt that's harvested in some areas of France. The salt is marketed as fleur (or "flower") de sel because of the flower pattern it forms as it dries. It looks like flat crystals and has a very delicate flavor. Since it is also expensive, it's best to use it wisely, on salads, meats, fish, or vegetables where it will add texture and really be noticed.

CARAMELISED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan and cook shallots over a high heat for 5 mins. When they are golden, drain off and throw away the oil. Add the butter, bay and thyme and toss with seasoning. Cook for 5-8 mins, stirring so that the butter doesn't burn.
• Pour over the stock and cook until the shallots are tender and the sauce is reduced and sticky.
