BAKED POTATOES WITH OLIVES AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. With a fork, prick potatoes in several places. Place potatoes on a plate and microwave until tender when pierced with a knife, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until skin is crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Halve potatoes. Dividing evenly, top halves with yogurt, feta, and chopped olives. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped chives.

OLIVE OIL SMASHED POTATOES

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with salted cold water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Smash the potatoes with a large fork or potato masher.

LEMON HERB OLIVE OIL SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Return the potatoes to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Remove from the heat. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and the reserved cooking water to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes, skins and all, with a traditional potato masher to an even consistency. Fold in the herbs and season with salt. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil.

BAKED FETA MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch (3.75-quart) casserole dish with butter.
• Put the potatoes in the prepared casserole dish, add the half-and-half and stir to combine. Spread the potatoes in an even layer and place the block of feta in the center, on top of the potatoes. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and dot the butter over the potatoes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake until the half-and-half is simmering, the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes are cooked through and very tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• Remove and reserve the aluminum foil. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients in the casserole dish until well combined, smooth and fluffy. Fold in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Cover the mashed potatoes with the reserved foil and return to the oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Top with the chopped chives and a few grinds of pepper.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, onion, and garlic in salted water over high heat. Cook until tender, 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Return potatoes to pot over medium heat, and briefly to evaporate excess moisture.
• Off heat, add oil and cayenne. Mash potatoes to desire consistency, adding reserved cooking water as needed if potatoes are too dry.
