HAY-SMOKED POTATOES<br />
Nettles, everything bagel granola and Philadelphia potato puree<br />
Serves 2<br />
Ingredients<br />
(Philadelphia potato puree)<br />
200 grams Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled<br />
100 grams cream<br />
75 grams cream cheese,<br />
at room temperature<br />
Salt, to taste<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
In medium pot, add potatoes and cover<br />
with water and ½ teaspoon salt.<br />
Simmer until fork tender. Drain water<br />
and transfer potatoes to blender<br />
along with scalded cream and cream<br />
cheese. Bend until completely smooth.<br />
Season with salt. Keep warm in small<br />
pot covered with plastic wrap touching<br />
surface of puree so a skin doesn’t form.<br />
Ingredients (Nettle puree)<br />
75 grams nettle, leaves only*<br />
5 grams extra-virgin olive oil<br />
Salt, to taste<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
Working with gloves, blanch nettles in<br />
abundantly salted water until tender,<br />
about 3 minutes. Shock in ice water<br />
to stop cooking and preserve color.<br />
Squeeze out excess water and transfer<br />
to blender with 2 tablespoon of ice<br />
water along with olive oil to make a<br />
smooth puree. Season with salt and<br />
set aside.<br />
Ingredients (Hay-Smoked Potatoes)<br />
4 baby purple potatoes<br />
4 baby red bliss potatoes<br />
20 grams hay, organic<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
Parboil potatoes in abundantly salted<br />
water until partially cooked, about 8<br />
minutes. This process allows the potatoes<br />
to be seasoned uniformly throughout.<br />
Transfer to cast iron pan lined with hay<br />
and cook over medium heat covered until<br />
potatoes are cooked through, about 20<br />
minutes. Potatoes should be perfumed<br />
with hay. Keep warm.<br />
Ingredients (Pickled potatoes)<br />
1 red bliss potato, skin on<br />
1 lime<br />
30 grams rice wine vinegar<br />
10 grams honey<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
Bring to boil honey and rice wine vinegar.<br />
Using mandoline, thinly slice potato<br />
into rounds. Pour hot pickling liquid<br />
over potatoes and let sit for 10 minutes.<br />
When ready to serve, remove potato<br />
slices and shave faint lime zest on top.<br />
