Sauteed Potatoes With Onions And Garlic Food

PERFECT SAUTéED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES, PORK CHOP WITH CIDER GRAVY, SAUTEED APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a medium pot add sweet potatoes and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until fork tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Season chops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork 5 minutes on the first side until deeply golden, turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes more with a loose foil tent over the pan. Remove cooked chops to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add another turn of the pan of olive oil, add the onions and apples. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and cook until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Douse with juice of a lemon and remove onions and apples to a bowl; keep warm.
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet, melt then whisk in flour, cook 1 minute then whisk in cider and 1 cup of stock. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Thicken 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
• Drain cooked sweet potatoes and return pan to stove. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and combine with marmalade and 1 cup stock. Add potatoes and mash, season with salt and pepper.
• Serve chop covered with apples and onions, gravy poured down over top, sweet potatoes alongside.

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH ONION

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan, add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and let cool.
• Cut the potatoes, with skins on, into 1/4-inch slices.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and when quite hot add the potatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until they start to brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Add the onions; shake the skillet to toss and redistribute the potatoes. Brown evenly, about 4 minutes more.
• Add butter and parsley, toss well and stir gently. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH ONIONS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Place potatoes, unpeeled, in a saucepan with water to cover and salt.
• Cook potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool. When cool enough to handle, peel them. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold potatoes in one layer. When oil is quite hot, add potatoes. Cook over high heat, shaking skillet and stirring gently, until lightly browned. Turn potatoes with a spatula. Cook for a few minutes more until light brown.
• Drain excess fat from skillet and add onion. Cook a few minutes until onion is lightly browned. Add butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss and blend well. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

SAUTéED POTATOES WITH BACON LARDONS & PERSILLADE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan on a high heat, simmer the potatoes for 5 mins in enough water to just cover them, then drain in a colander and leave for 1 min for the steam to escape.
• In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the persillade together and set aside. Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a high heat, add the lardons and cook for 8-10 mins until lightly caramelised. Add the potatoes, then the butter.
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until golden brown all over. Spoon out any excess fat and stir in the persillade. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

LYONNAISE POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the sliced onions, olive oil and half the butter in your largest frying pan. Cook over a low-medium heat until the onions are super-soft but not golden-brown yet - this might take up to 30-35 minutes.
• Meanwhile bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Slice the potatoes into 1cm/½ in thick slices. Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and when the water has returned to the boil, set your timer for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and leave in the colander to steam dry. Heat the oven to 200C/180C/Gas 6.
• When the onions are done, remove from the heat and stir through the parsley and thyme with the garlic and some generous seasoning. Gently toss the onion mixture and par-boiled potatoes together - you can do this in the frying pan if they fit, or a large mixing bowl.
• Tip everything into a large baking dish - you don't want the mixture to sit any deeper than 5cm/2in. Arrange and press the top down a little to roughly flatten. Dot the remaining butter all over the top.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden-brown and crisp, and the potatoes cooked through. A little extra garnish of chopped parsley and fresh thyme is nice, but not strictly necessary.

SAUTEED GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large non stick frying pan.
• Add potatoes and saute over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Add garlic cloves, cover, reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove garlic, peel, place in a small bowl and crush.
• Stir in lemon juice, add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through.
• Spoon into a serving dish and top with chives and parsley.
