Fried Potatoes With Tomatoes And Jalapeños Food

ITALIAN POTATO RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into wedges.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water while prepping the rest of the ingredients.
• Thinly slice the onion. Set aside.
• Mince the garlic. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C).
• Place oven grate on the lower center rack.
• Empty the can of whole peeled canned tomatoes in a large bowl.
• Add one cup of water to the can, swirl and empty contents in the bowl.
• Hand crush the tomatoes.
• Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika and salt and pepper. Feel free to adjust seasonings. Combine together and set aside.
• Drain the water from the potatoes.
• Add the sliced onions and crushed tomatoes and combine.
• Toss the sliced onions with the potato wedges in a large deep baking dish (10.5 x 14.75 inches).
• Arrange the potatoes and vegetables in a single layer, in the baking dish.
• Drizzle olive oil over the top.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until a knife can easily pierce through the potato. Gently move the potatoes to the baking pan.
• Bake for another 15-20 minutes, without the foil or until most of the moisture has evaporated from the tomato sauce. Stir occasionally.
• Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.
• OPTIONAL: Garnish with grated pecorino romano cheese or parmesan cheese.

MEXICAN STYLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large-size frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes and brown for about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning them. Make sure all the sides of the potatoes are golden.
• Stir in the onion and cook for about 3 minutes. By that time the onion should be translucent.
• Add the Serrano or Jalapeño pepper and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring from time to time.
• Now, add the chopped tomato, salt to taste, and gently stir them in with the potatoes, onion, and peppers. I like the tomatoes cubes to still hold some of their shape when serving, so this step is a quick one, just 1 or 2 minutes before proceeding to serve. Of course, if you like your tomatoes well cooked, then cook them a little bit longer.

ROASTED POTATOES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut 1 1/2 pounds large red-skinned potatoes lengthwise into eighths. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 3 sprigs rosemary, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and salt and pepper. Put cut-side down on the hot baking sheet and roast 15 minutes. Flip the mixture and roast 10 more minutes.

CRISPY JALAPEñO & ONION PETALS

Steps:

• Cut the onion in half and then into wedges. Separate the onion layers and add them to a bowl. Slice the jalapeños (seeds and all if you like things spicy) into very thin rounds and add to the bowl. Pour over the buttermilk and stir to combine. Let sit while you get the remaining ingredients together.
• Combine the flour, salt and a generous pinch of black pepper in a separate bowl, then set aside.
• Add 1 inch of oil to a large, heavy-bottom skillet. Heat to 375 degrees F or until a pinch of the flour sizzles when added to the skillet.
• Using tongs, remove a handful of onions and jalapeños from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture, thoroughly coating them. Tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Carefully add the coated onions and jalapeños to the hot oil, breaking them up with a spoon, so they don't stick together. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining onions and jalapeños.
• Serve immediately.

HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft; about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add potato cubes, salt, paprika and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned; about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, green peppers and parsley and cook for another minute. Serve hot.

FRIED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES AND JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• 1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes and onion, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are almost tender and start to brown. 2. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add the broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer until the potatoes are soft and the liquid is absorbed. (If the liquid cooks away before the potatoes are soft, add a little more broth and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender.) Mound the potatoes on a warm serving platter. Drizzle with sour cream and scatter the tomatoes and chiles over the top. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.

JALAPENO POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook the potatoes in the boiling water until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and allow to cool to the touch before peeling and slicing thin. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl.
• Pour the milk into a saucepan over medium heat; gradually whisk the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the warming milk until smooth. Continue heating and stirring until the liquid is boiling and thickened. Add the Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Pour the sauce over the potatoes. Scatter the pimentos over the mixture; pour into the prepared dish.
• Bake until the potatoes are completely tender, about 30 minutes.
