ITALIAN MASHED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• 01 - Wash the Potatoes. 02 - Place the Potatoes ( with skin on ) in a pot of boiling salted water, and cook them for about 30 minutes, or until very soft. The skin will not let the Potatoes absorb too much water, and it will be easier to peel them. 03 - Once the Potatoes have cooked, drain them and cool their skin under cold runnign water for 1 minute. 04 - Peel the Potatoes simply by removing their skin by hand ( if they are well cooked the skin should come off very easily ). 05 - Using a potato ricer or a food mill, mash the Potatoes in the same pot you have cooked them in. 06 - Add the Milk and stir everything over a low heat. 07 - Add Butter, Salt, Nutmeg and Parmesan Cheese if used and mix until the Mashed is smooth.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN POTATO PIZZA (PIZZA CON PATATE) WITH YELLOW IDAHO® POTATOES

Steps:

• Potato pizzas are traditionally make in rectangular pans, but you can use any shape you like. Oil your pan slightly, with about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
• Shape the dough into the shape of your pan, then place the dough onto it, drizzle about a tablespoon or more, extra virgin olive oil and rub it over the surface evenly, then set in a draft-free place for a few minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
• Preheat the oven at this point, to 500˚F (260˚C) or the hottest your oven can be set. Do not use convection.
• Using a mandoline slicer or food processor, slice the washed and dried yellow Idaho© potatoes (do not peel) very thinly and place in a bowl.
• Add enough extra virgin olive oil to coat each slice (2-3 tbsp), then sprinkle lightly with the salt. Using your hands, mix the potatoes so they are evenly coated with oil and salt.
• Optional: sometimes, mozzarella cheese is added at this point, but if you do, do so sparingly (I didn't add cheese).
• Start layering the potato slices over the pizza dough in the pan, overlapping the slices slightly until all the dough is covered (unlike a traditional tomato pizza, you don't need to leave an edge of dough; I did so for the sake of the photos, or else the pizza would just look like slices of potatoes, but I'd recommend going all the way to the edge and will explain why, below).
• Drizzle with another 1 tsp or so, extra virgin olive oil and spread carefully and evenly over the potatoes, with your hand or a brush.
• Optional: sprinkle the some fresh rosemary, if desired (I did add rosemary to one half of my pizza).
• Place pizza on the floor of the oven, or if you aren't able to use the bottom, put it on the lowest rack, for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, replace the pizza onto the middle of the oven for another 8 to 11 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to brown. If desired, reset the oven to broil (grill) and place the pizza on the top rack to make the potatoes a little more brown and crispy (this is why it's best to place the potatoes all the way to the edge of the dough, and not leave any exposed crust, so that you don't have to worry about the crust burning while you crisp the potatoes).
• Remove from the oven and cut into slices and serve hot, warm or cold.
• This pizza reheats really well, just place it back on a tray into a 400˚F (205˚C) oven for about 4 minutes.

ITALIAN-STYLE SKILLET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, salt the water, and cook 5 minutes. Drain.
• Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove to a cutting board with a slotted spoon, then chop and reserve.
• Add the potatoes and rosemary to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the garlic and cheese.

ITALIAN POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into cubes. Cook in boiling water for 15 min. or just until tender; drain. Cool completely.

• Refrigerate at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.

PATATE AL FORNO (ITALIAN OVEN ROASTED POTATOES)

Steps:

• Peel and slice the potatoes as thinly as you can manage-if you have a mandolin, that would be perfect for the job. Make sure to immerse the potatoes in a bowl of water as you peel them, and slice them quickly, to avoid disclosing.
• Just as soon as you're done peeling and slicing, pat the potato slices dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, dress the slices with generous amounts of olive oil, salt and pepper, along with a few rosemary leaves and one or two cloves of garlic which you will have minced as finely as possible. (Here's one case when a garlic press comes in handy.) Set aside.
• Take a large baking dish and rub the insides all over with the cut side of another clove of garlic which you will have sliced in half. Arrange the potato slices evenly in the dish, partially overlapping the top layer of potato slices like roof shingles, in a decorative pattern in the dish: lined up in rows if your dish is square or rectangular, in concentric rings if it's round or oval. Add enough water to come up about half the height of the potatoes-it's best to drizzle the water in at the sides of the dish so as not to displace the dressing. Drizzle the top of the potatoes with some more olive oil and sprinkle with some more salt. Finally, place a sprig of rosemary on top of the potatoes.
• Roast the potatoes in a moderate (180C/350F) oven for about 45-60 minutes, until all the water has evaporated, the potato slices are soft inside and golden brown on top and around the edges. (Just how brown is a matter of taste-I like mine fairly lightly brown, as pictured.) If the potatoes are not brown enough for you, you can run them under the broiler for a minute or two, till they're done to your liking. Remove the rosemary sprig and let the dish rest for a good 1o minutes or so before serving directly from the baking dish.
