226: Herb Butter Roasted Potatoes

Sometimes it's really good to just cook something, like potatoes, that you don't have a recipe in mind for. While I was roasting (off share) sweet potatoes, I threw a few potatoes on the other rack. I figured at worst they could hang out in the fridge until a day I was too lazy/busy to cook. And that's what happened. 

After getting my hair cut and doing my weekly extra ingredient shopping trip (an expensive one, though a good $10 was stock alone) I got home with just enough energy to eat a bowl of yogurt and whip this up. 

I thickly sliced the cooked and cooked potatoes, then sauteed them for a bit in herb butter. I meant to post about the herb butter but never got around to it- to the best of my recollection it had parsley, thyme, dill, mint, maybe some basil and cilantro. I added a bit of pepper and way too much salt, so I'm forced to use it sparingly. 

The results were perfect for a cold day, and a more than good reason to just throw something extra into the oven whenever it's on.

Gorgeous! Kale with pecans. With smoked paprika. Kale chips. With buckwheat noodles.

Garlic

Guess. You'll probably be right.

Believe it or not, I went for the smaller turnips, hoping to avoid the weird bitterness I had with the last big one. Slaw with carrots and apples. Slaw with carrots (bonus for parsley).

Acorn Squash

Soup with turnips. Soup with turnip chips. Soup with kale and bacon. What? I'm cold.

Note with the popcorn: let dry for three more weeks for best results. Um, thanks? I'll probably wait to bring this home to my parents', where there is a microwave.

Carrots

Boo orange carrots! Here's a slaw with beets (and beet greens, but I could use kale or something).

Hot Peppers

Flat Leaf Parsley

I just kind of want to do wilted parsley on toast again.

207: Smoked Salmon Potato Salad

This isn’t terribly sexy-looking, but I’m not sure how much you can do with potato salad. Based on this insanely simple recipe from Serious Eats, I adapted a bit to what I had and knew I would enjoy.

I’m not a huge sour cream person, but I always have greek yogurt on hand, and while rummaging through my crisper for recipe-approved herbs I came across dill. It's not on the list but it seemed a natural pairing with salmon so I went with it. By this time I was nearing a tzatziki anyway, so I just added in that garlic. Apologies to anyone who gets near my monster breath. Totally worth it.

Ingredients:

2 lbs potatoes, cut into 1/2" coins

Salt

3 oz smoked salmon (mine’s from Ikea! I probably shouldn’t be so excited, but I am)

3/4 cup Greek Yogurt

1/4 cup mix of scallions and dill (mostly scallions, maybe 1.5 tsp dill?)

1 clove of garlic, made into a paste with a little kosher salt

Black pepper to taste

 

Boil/simmer your potatoes in salted water until tender then drain and let cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, then add your potatoes. Season to taste. Super simple and makes a ton of food. I feel like leftovers will be even better, once the garlic and herb flavors have had time to bloom.

I'm very much behind on this post, apologies. Many recipes are pulled from previous posts.

Potatoes - 2 pounds

Carrots - 1 pound 

Chiogga Beets - 1 pound

Garlic - 2 heads

Lacinato Kale - 1 bunch

Mustard Greens - 1 bunch

Radishes - 1 bunch

Thyme - 1 bunch

Romanesco Cauliflower - 1 head

Mustard Greens

Salads are tempting, but it's hard for me to turn down an Indian dish.

Chiogga Beets

Will take a picture of this pretties when I actually cook them, but in an effort to save plastic I didn't want to tear open the bag. They have bag of 15 lbs of beets for sale from my CSA. It's bad how tempted I am. Definitely want to preserve the color on these, so will likely use one of these recipes from the kitchn. Here are more raw beet recipes.

Rainbow Carrots

Raw salad to showcase the colors. Roasted with honey ginger butter. Salad with walnuts and radishes.

Potatoes

Roasted (bonus for rainbow carrots).

Radishes

Mango and radish salad. Radish curry. Oh man, maybe I'll actually make this crazy crazy bread.

Romanesco Cauliflower

Really want a recipe that keeps the cauliflower looking pretty, so a roast seems ideal.

Thyme

Roasting herb. Will throw it in where I can. Maybe I'll try drying it out? I can never use these things up in time.

Garlic

Used in other recipes, most likely. Can't afford to be precious.

Dinosaur Kale

All the salads, please. Here's one with balsamic vinegar and pine nuts. One with ricotta. Super simple with breadcrumbs and garlic.
