Thin slices of potato slow cooked in the oven with cream and garlic – the most decadent of side dishes

Dauphinoise Potatoes

double cream

milk

garlic

King Edward or Maris Piper potatoes

grated gruyèrecheese (optional)

Dauphinoise potatoes

Tip 500ml double cream, 500ml milk and 3 garlic cloves into a large&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/five-best-saucepans">saucepan</a> and bring to a simmer.

<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-paring-knives">Slice</a> 8 large potatoes very finely, about 3-4mm, add them to the cream and simmer for 3 mins until just cooked.

Gently stir to separate the potato and stop it sinking and catching on the bottom of the pan.

Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place in a wide shallow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/test-five-best-roasting-tins">ovenproof dish</a>&nbsp;so that they are about 5cm in depth.

Pour over the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-garlic-gadgets">garlic</a>&nbsp;infused cream (discarding the garlic) &ndash; just enough to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface.

Scatter over 100g grated gruyère cheese, if using, then bake for 30 mins until the potatoes are soft and browned &ndash; increase the heat for 5 mins if not brown enough.

This fragrant dish adds an exotic flavour to plain rice, delicious served with chicken kebabs

Zesty pomegranate rice

vegetable stock

basmati rice

tub pomegranateseeds

coriander seeds, crushed

tsp cumin

almonds

orange

Bring the stock and rice to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins. Drain the rice and set aside to rest for 5 mins.

Add the pomegranate, coriander seeds, cumin, most of the toasted almonds, orange zest and seasoning. Sprinkle with the remaining toasted almonds.

This impressive potato torte is perfect as a side dish to dinner or brunch!

Brown Butter and Thyme Potato Torte

lbs. yukon gold potatoes

butter, divided

fresh thyme, chopped

balsamic glaze (store bought, right by the vinegar)

salt

black pepper

Peel the potatoes then slice on a mandoline into 1/8&#8243; slices.

Pour 3 tablespoons of the melted butter in a 10&#8243; cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Start layering the potatoes into concentric circles in the skillet until you have a couple of layers down. Then sprinkle in some salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the fresh thyme.

Working quickly, add in another couple layers of potatoes, more salt and pepper and thyme and now a drizzle of the balsamic glaze.

Repeat with the potatoes, salt, pepper and thyme, then when you get about halfway down pour in the three tablespoons of melted butter.

Repeat with the reaming potatoes, glaze, salt, pepper and thyme until you&#8217;re done.

Press down firmly with an 8&#8243; dinner plate or cake pan and then transfer the skillet to the oven for 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the skillet to the stove and press down once again with the cake pan.

Return to the oven and cook another 25 minutes.

After the torte has cooled slightly, run a knife around the edges of the skillet and then flip out onto a large plate and cut into wedges. See note*

Tried this last night, absolutely the best!  My very picky husband loved it.  The truly amazing part was that I actually had some balsamic glaze in my pantry! (no fresh thyme, freeze-dried though!)
This has also unleashed my creative potato tort creativity. I didn't even know I had one, but..... maybe a parmesan, garlic next?  Love to find an excellent recipe that enables me to enjoy as is or switch it out.
Many, many thanks!
PS, many more great recipes to try on your site.

Bloomin' Baked Potato

potatoes

garlic powder

kosher salt

c. Cheddar cheese

bacon,

tbsp. finely chopped chives

sour cream,

This is a great recipe! I am lazy and just use packaged bacon bits. I have noticed since i started making these (shame its 70 minutes) my craving for french fries has gone away. I do not put any salt other than garlic sLt on them. They say a craving indicates a lack of something. Wonder what it is?
Anyway a baked potato is very filling.

this didn't help at all you freaking bots

Bloomin' Baked Potatoes Are Everything Bloomin' Onions Could Never Be

This side dish is easy, healthy, and incredibly delicious!  Creamy cauliflower blended with zesty leeks and garlic will have you craving your veggies!

Cauliflower Leek Purée

cauliflower

Tbsp butter

leek (thinly sliced (at least 1 1/2 cups))

garlic (chopped)

butter

plain Greek yogurt

tsp salt

tsp pepper

Rinse off the cauliflower and dry with a paper towel.  Place cauliflower on a cutting board and remove any &quot;stems&quot; and leaves.  Place both heads of cauliflower in a large pot with enough water to cover an inch above the vegetables.  Boil on medium-high heat until cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.

Remove cauliflower from pot and allow to drain and cool to the touch.  Remove all white &quot;heads&quot; from the cauliflower and place them in a bowl.  Discard the stem.

While cauliflower is cooking, rinse and slice the leeks then peel and chop the garlic.  In a sauté pan over medium/high heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter.  Reduce heat to medium then add sliced leeks and chopped garlic, cooking until leeks are tender, about 10 minutes.

Using a food processor, purée cooked cauliflower and sautéd leeks and garlic in batches.  Place purée mixture in a large mixing bowl.  Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir until well blended.  Add the yogurt and blend until purée is creamy.  Add salt and pepper and taste for seasonings.  Top with chopped chives.

Baby red potatoes are boiled until fork tender, coated in cajun spices, then smashed and baked until extra crispy. Finished off with a drizzle of creamy creole sauce, these potatoes make one irresistible side dish that your family will ask for again and again!

Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Creole Sauce

mayonnaise

creole mustard (or whole grain mustard)

garlic (minced)

worcestershire sauce

hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot)

onion powder

paprika

Italian seasoning

cayenne pepper

baby red potatoes (rinsed)

olive oil (extra virgin

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

chives and flaked salt (for topping)

To a medium mixing bowl, add mayo, creole mustard, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper.

Use a small whisk or fork to mix all the ingredients until combined. Refrigerate the sauce while you prepare the potatoes.

Creole Sauce

Boil potatoes in water until easily pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and allow them to dry out for about for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 °C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Toss everything together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all potatoes are coated with the oil and spices.

Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Do not discard the oil and spices leftover in the bowl. Use the back of a 1/2 cup measuring cup to smash each potato, being careful not to break them apart. If a few break apart it is fine, just try to keep them intact.

Brush the tops of the potatoes with the remaining oil and spices leftover in the bowl used to coat the potatoes. Bake potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, until crispy and dark golden brown.

Drizzle potatoes with creole sauce and sprinkle chopped chives over top. Enjoy!
