Roasted Nugget Potatoes


Some of you may remember from my previous posts that I really like the yellow variety or Yukon Gold BC nugget potatoes. These yellow nugget potatoes’ flesh remains firm yellow and yet, so creamy after being cooked. Whenever they are in season, I will definitely stock up on these irresistible “gold nuggets”. They are excellent when steamed, boiled, or pan-fried, and are exceptional served either cooked or cold in salads. These oven Roasted Nugget Potatoes are baked till crispy and golden brown on the outside with rosemary, sea salt, olive oil, and a little butter. Just remember to boil the nugget potatoes a day ahead and chilled them in the refrigerator, makes it easier to cut and the flesh will remain firm when baked or sautéd. They are so tasty I bet you will be asking for more! :-)

Ingredients

650 g Nugget Potatoes, whole

  6. Looks good. What's the reasoning behind boiling the potatoes before roasting them? I usually just chop up potatoes, toss them with olive oil and whatever else sounds good and pop them in a 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
