Sunnys Easy Rosemary Deviled Potatoes Food

SUNNY'S CRISPY SMASHED ROSEMARY GARLIC FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes for the time instructed on the package, minus 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly to handle, then cut the longer potatoes in half, leaving the smaller potatoes intact.
• In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the oil, butter and rosemary stalks. Using the bottom of a dry cup measure or something similar, gently smash each potato portion to about 1/4 inch thick and scrape off with a butter knife. Slide a smashed potato right into the bubbling fat and repeat with the remaining potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are golden and crisp on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and continue to cook, adding more butter if needed, until golden on the other side, about another 3 minutes. While cooking, mind the rosemary stalks and flip and turn them as well. Once they are lightly crisped, remove them to a drying rack above a baking sheet along with any crisped potatoes. Season gently with salt and pepper.
• Crinkle the rosemary leaves with your fingers or chop gently and add to a large metal bowl with the parsley. Coat the inside of the bowl with the garlic. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl and toss gently until coated. Serve warm.

SUNNY'S ROASTED ROSEMARY AND THYME POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cut the potatoes in quarters lengthwise. Using a paring knife and plenty of patience, cut each quarter into 1 or 2 torpedo- or oval-shaped pieces. Place in a large bowl of cold water while you finish the rest.
• Add the potatoes to the boiling water and blanch for just under 4 minutes. (This really depends on the size of your potatoes, but be sure to not cook them for potato salad; this is just to get them slightly tender--you shouldn't be able to get a fork through them. The oven will do the rest.) Remove the potatoes from the water to a paper towel-lined plate until slightly cooled.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pour the potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle over enough olive oil to coat all sides. On a large baking sheet with sides, add the thyme and rosemary (whole) to make a bed of sorts. Pour out the potatoes onto the sheet and space them evenly so the air can circulate as they roast. Season the entire sheet with a pinch of salt.
• Roast the potatoes until golden brown on the edges and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.

DEVILED POTATOES

Steps:

• Try deviled eggs in a new way: Pipe the filling onto potatoes! Mash the yolks of 12 hard-boiled eggs with 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard; season with salt and pepper (save the egg whites for an egg salad). Boil 12 baby potatoes in salted water until tender; halve lengthwise. Pipe the yolk mixture on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with paprika and chives.
