Prosciutto And Potato Cakes Food

POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Crush garlic cloves, leaving them mostly whole; add in skillet. Cook 2 minutes or until garlic begins to brown. Remove from skillet; discard garlic.
• In same skillet, place onion, potatoes, rosemary and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook about 12 minutes or until onion is softened and potatoes are almost thoroughly cooked. Stir in prosciutto.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs and milk with whisk until well blended. Season with additional salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet; slowly move egg mixture around skillet. Transfer skillet to oven.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until puffy and beginning to brown. Remove from oven; sprinkle cheese over top. Return to oven until cheese is melted. Cut frittata into wedges and serve.

PROSCIUTTO POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small casserole dish with olive oil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook prosciutto in hot oil until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Drain cooked prosciutto on a plate lined with paper towel; pat slices with paper towel to blot excess grease. Crumble prosciutto.
• Spread about half the potatoes into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Arrange about half the mozzarella slices atop the potatoes. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes and cheese. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top layer of cheese. Sprinkle crumbled prosciutto over the cheese layer.
• Arrange tomato slices around the edges of the casserole dish. Sprinkle mushroom slices inside the edges of the tomato border. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and green onion. Cover casserole dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove and discard foil and switch oven to broil. Continue cooking under the broiler until the top is browned, 5 to 10 minutes more.

CREAMY POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush a baking sheet with olive oil and place the prosciutto in one layer on the sheet. Bake in the oven until the fat is rendered and prosciutto is crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the strips to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, hand-crush the prosciutto and set aside in a bowl.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water along with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer, cooking until the potatoes are just fork tender, about 15 minutes. Keep in mind the potatoes will continue to cook when you remove them from the water and you don't want a mushy potato salad. Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain in a colander. Place the colander over the now empty pot to allow the moisture to evaporate from the potatoes.
• To make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk the scallions, sugar, mayonnaise, sweet paprika, ground mustard, and apple cider vinegar together. Taste and then season with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Add the potatoes and toss. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove and sprinkle the crispy prosciutto over the top.

PROSCIUTTO AND POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Make the mashed potato first (using the mash ingredients) and allow to cool.
• Add the egg, green onions prosciutto and garlic to the cooled potato.
• Take two tablespoons of potato mixture and form into a patty. Dip the patty into the extra egg and press into the breadcrumbs until well coated in crumbs. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
• Using a medium heat, heat enough oil to cover the base of a large non-stick fying pan, cook the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until a golden brown colour.

POTATO, PROSCIUTTO & FONTINA CAKE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water; season the water generously with salt.
• Bring the water to a boil (BTB) and reduce to a simmer (RTS). Cook the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes well.
• In a small saucepan, heat the cream.
• While the potatoes are still hot, mash with a potato masher, leaving them a little bit lumpy; stir in the hot cream.
• Mix in the Fontina, prosciutto, and eggs and stir well to combine. Taste and add salt if you need to-you probably will.
• Form the potato mixture into cakes about 2 1/2 inches wide and 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Put them on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Coat a large nonstick sauté pan with olive oil and bring to high heat. Working in batches, brown the cakes on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Place the browned cakes on a baking sheet and transfer them to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until heated through.
• These lovely cakes need to chill for at least an hour before cooking so if you want to really streamline the operation, make the cakes ahead (even the day before) and stick them in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

PROSCIUTTO & ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the baby new potatoes in salted boiling water until just tender. Cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthways and wrap one length around each new potato, tucking small sprigs of rosemary underneath, then secure with a toothpick. Place in a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, then season well. Bake at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 25-30 mins until very crisp and golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MASHED POTATOES WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook potatoes and garlic in large pot of boiling salted water until potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return potatoes and garlic to same pot.
• Meanwhile, melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped prosciutto and 3/4 teaspoon minced rosemary and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add prosciutto mixture and 3/4 cup milk to potatoes and garlic. Mash well, adding more milk by tablespoonfuls if potatoes are dry. Mix in 3/4 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Stir over low heat to rewarm, adding more milk by tablespoonfuls, if desired.) Transfer potatoes to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese; garnish with fresh rosemary and serve.
