MAY 29   #548                      NEW IDEAS FOR POTATOES

 

We’ve been talking lately about all the wonderful produce that Springtime has brought us, not the least of which is the new potato.  These thin-skinned, tender little tubers are delicious and easy to prepare.  Which got us thinking.  What else can we do with the humble potato?   Here’s a cute idea developed by Thomas Keller at The French Laundry restaurant.

                                                                        Herbed Potato Rounds

Using a mandolin, slice a medium sized new potato so thinly that it is translucent.  Place half the slices on a cookie sheet.  Trim sprigs of parsley so that you collect all the leaves individually.  Place an arrangement of parsley leaves flat on each potato slice and cover with a second thin slice.  Brush with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes in a 325 degree oven.  The parsley leaves will show through the potato disk making a lovely silhouette.
