Scallop Napoleon With Crisp Potatoes Food

ALL-CRUST SHEET-PAN SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with the butter.
• Bring the cream, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, then turn off stove.
• Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick rounds.) Arrange half the potato slices into a single, overlapping layer on the sheet pan, and sprinkle evenly with salt and half the grated Parmesan. Top with the remaining potato slices and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle the hot cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with Gruyere and the remaining Parmesan. Cook uncovered until very brown and crusty on top, rotating the pan halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

SCALLOP NAPOLEON WITH CRISP POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine the juices, minced herbs, vinegar and chicken broth in a small, nonreactive saucepan and cook over high heat until the mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Beat in the half cup of olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside in the saucepan.
• Using a grater or food processor, shred the potatoes. Mix with 2 tablespoons of the chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the butter in a heavy, nonstick skillet. Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet in 3-inch disks, patting them down to flatten. Fry over medium-high heat until golden brown and crusty, about 3 to 4 minutes per side; drain on paper towels. Repeat until you have 12 disks. Set aside in a 150-degree oven to keep warm.
• Preheat a grill until very hot. Brush the scallops with the remaining olive oil and grill until just seared, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Slice each in half horizontally.
• To assemble, place a potato disk on each of 6 plates, top with three slices of scallop, another disk and another trio of scallops, seared side up. Sprinkle with the remaining chives. Gently reheat the dressing until warm, beat it and pour a few tablespoons of it around each napoleon. Serve at once.

GRILLED POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE NAPOLEON WITH BALSAMIC-BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, but still firm, 12 to15 minutes. Drain and let cool before cutting each potato in 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• While the potatoes are cooking, combine the vinegar, garlic, mustard, basil and 1/2 cup of the oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat your grill to medium.
• Brush the potato slices on both sides with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on the grill, close the cover, and grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Carefully transfer the potatoes to a flat surface. Make stacks by layering the following: 1 slice potato, 1 tablespoon goat cheese, 1 slice potato, 1 tablespoon goat cheese, 1 slice potato. Place the stacks back on the grill, close the cover, and grill until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter, drizzle some of the vinaigrette on and around the potatoes, and sprinkle with the chives.
