Grilled Potatoes With Chipotle Yogurt Food

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the potatoes (no need to peel). Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices (if your potatoes are smaller than a golf ball, you can halve or quarter them). Place in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the oil, then sprinkle the spices over the top. Toss to evenly coat.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F).
• Place two large (about 22 to 24 inches long) sheets of heavy-duty foil down on a large baking sheet (you'll use the baking sheet for easy transport) so that the foil pieces are slightly overlapping down the center to create a wider sheet. Coat with non-stick spray. Spread the potatoes onto the foil in a single layer (if you prefer not to have the food touch the foil, you can add a layer of parchment in between). Place two more overlapping sheets of foil on top, then fold up the edges all the way around to seal and create a packet. Leave some space towards the top of the packet to allow the air to circulate.
• Using the baking sheet, carry the potatoes out to the grill, then with tongs slide the packet onto the grill. Cover then cook for 15 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil then use the tongs to flip the potatoes over. They should be deeply golden on the first side (if not, continue to cook them for 3 to 5 minutes more). Place the foil loosely back over the top, close the grill, and cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pieced with a fork.
• Slide the potato packet back onto the baking sheet, then transfer them to a serving bowl (or serve them right off of the foil). Serve warm, with a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh herbs as desired.

SMASHED POTATOES WITH GREEK YOGURT AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and bay leaf into a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium-high heat until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmerthe water should not boil. Reserve 1 cup of the potato water; drain the potatoes well, and return them to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the scallions; add the remaining scallions, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are tender, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and whisk in 3/4 cup of the yogurt.
• Add the yogurt mixture, 1/2 cup of the reserved potato water, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the hot potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth (a few chunks are fine). Stir in additional potato water if you want creamier potatoes. Transfer to a serving dish, dollop the remaining Greek yogurt on top and garnish with the reserved scallions.

YOGURT & SPICE CRUSTED ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with lots of cold water in a medium saucepan, bring to the boil then simmer for 4 mins. Drain and leave until cool.
• Grease a baking tray. Mix together all the marinade ingredients with a pinch of salt, ensuring they're well combined. Dip potatoes in the marinade, making sure they're well coated, then place on the baking tray. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place baking tray in the oven and cook potatoes for 20 mins, until browned and crisp.

CHIPOTLE BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare an indoor grill for direct heat cooking over medium high heat.
• Cook the potatoes in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for 10 minutes (the potatoes will not be cooked through).
• Mix the butter with the olive oil, cilantro, chipotle powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Drain the potatoes and toss with the chipotle oil mixture. Transfer the potatoes to the grill. Grill the potatoes, covered, turning once or twice until tender, about 5 minutes total. Return the potatoes to the bowl and toss again with the chipotle oil mixture. Season with the 1 tablespoon salt and pepper. Serve warm.
• Cook's Note: If you are using an outdoor grill, try use larger-size potatoes so they don't fall through the grill grate.

YOGURT MASHED POTATOES WITH CHIPOTLE PEPPERS, GOAT CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a saucepan; cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let sit until just cool enough to handle, then peel and transfer to a bowl.
• Add the butter to the potatoes. Add the yogurt, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and pepper to taste; mash with a potato masher or fork.
• Stir the chipotle peppers. Fold in the goat cheese. Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving dish and sprinkle with the caramelized shallots.

GRILLED POTATOES WITH CHIPOTLE YOGURT

Steps:

• For the chipotle yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, mint, lime juice and chipotle in a medium bowl and season with salt. Mix until well blended. Place in fridge until ready to use.
• For the potatoes: Combine the potatoes, thyme and garlic in a large pot with water covering the potatoes by 2 inches. Season the water with 1/2 cup kosher salt. Bring the potatoes to a simmer and cook until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the potatoes on skewers with a bay leaf at each end, if using. Drizzle with the extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the potatoes until charred on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with the chipotle sauce and garnish with additional cilantro.

CHARRED CORN, CHICKEN & TORTILLA SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix 1 tbsp paprika, the oregano, 1 tbsp chipotle, cinnamon, garlic, lime zest and 2 tbsp oil together in a bowl with some seasoning. Pour over the chicken thighs, turning to coat, then cover and chill for at least a few hours, or up to 24 hrs.
• Light the barbecue and let the flames die down, or heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Mix the yogurt, lime juice, the remaining oil, ½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle and the honey with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Brush the corn cobs with a little oil, then cook it and the marinated chicken on the barbecue or in the griddle pan for about 10 mins, turning often until the chicken is cooked through (it should be charred and firm to the touch - check it's done by cutting into one of the thickest pieces) and the corn is bright yellow and juicy.
• Transfer the chicken and corn to a board or plate and cover to keep warm. Arrange the lettuce, beans, tomatoes and avocado on a large platter or in a serving bowl, but wait to toss together until just before serving - this helps keep the lettuce leaves from wilting.
• Cut the wraps into strips or small pieces. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry the strips until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Slice the cooked chicken into 1cm strips and cut the charred corn from the cob. Add to the salad, then drizzle over the dressing and any juice from the chicken and toss. Scatter over the coriander and crispy tortilla strips, and serve with the lime wedges on the side.
