POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium high heat.
• Slice potatoes and onions very thin. Salt potatoes and onions. Add oil and butter to the pan. When the butter foams, add potatoes and onions to the skillet.
• Place a dinner plate on top of potatoes and weight it with any heavy object: a sack of flour, heavy canned goods, etc. Let the potatoes and onions crust, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn, replace weights, and let them crust again. Keep turning the potatoes and onions over for about 20 minutes, until they are evenly golden and crusted.

SPICED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a pot with 2 inches simmering water. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until tender when pierced with a knife, 12 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Add cumin, red-pepper flakes, and potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until potatoes are lightly golden, 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and top with cilantro.

SPICED POTATOES AND SPINACH

Steps:

• In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water, add some salt then bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and the onion and cook until the onion has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes. Stir in the curry powder, then add the spinach and tomato. Cook and stir until the spinach has wilted and all the flavors have merged together, about 2 more minutes. Serve warm.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION-SPICED GRILLED TORNADO POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for cooking over medium heat.
• In a bowl, whisk together the milk powder, Parmesan, chives, dill, onion powder, granulated garlic, parsley, salt and sugar. Mix thoroughly to combine.
• Place the olive oil in a separate bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture.
• Insert a bamboo skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato. With a sharp paring knife, cut a potato in a spiral pattern all the way down to the skewer, beginning at the top of the potato with the knife set at a 15 to 20 degree angle. Rotate the potato as you cut until the entire the potato is cut through in a spiral pattern. Stretch the potato down the skewer. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Set each skewer over a piece of aluminum foil. Brush each of the potatoes with a generous amount of the oil mixture, reserving a third for later. Wrap the potatoes in the foil, closing both ends so the oil cannot escape. Place on the grill and cook 8 minutes, then flip and cook 8 minutes more. Remove from the grill and let rest until cool enough to handle. (Leave the grill on.)
• Remove the skewers from the foil. Brush each potato with some of the remaining oil mixture and return to the grill until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle each with more of the dry spice mixture. (Extra spice mixture can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months.)
