Crushed Potatoes with Oyster Bar Butter

Make extra seasoned butter to eat with pasta, on crusty bread, or, as the name implies, with shellfish.

INGREDIENTS

* ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
* 4 garlic cloves, finely grated
* 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons hot sauce
* 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
* 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
* ? cup chopped parsley
* ¼ cup chopped chives
* 1 tablespoon chopped dill
* 2 teaspoons chopped tarragon
* Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
* 3 pounds baby Yukon Gold or new potatoes, scrubbed
* 1 bay leaf

RECIPE PREPARATION
* Mix butter, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl with a rubber spatula until smooth. Gently mix in parsley, chives, dill, and tarragon; season with salt and pepper.?
* Place potatoes and bay leaf in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15–20 minutes. Drain, discard bay leaf, and let potatoes cool slightly. Using the flat side of a chef’s knife or the heel of your hand, smash potatoes lightly to flatten.??
* Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of potatoes and cook in a single layer, turning once, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer potatoes to bowl with herb butter. Wipe out skillet, repeat process with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and remaining potatoes. Toss potatoes in butter until they are all well coated (the warm potatoes should melt the butter).?
* Do Ahead: Herb butter can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Potatoes can be boiled and smashed 1 day ahead; let cool, then cover and chill. Pat dry before frying.

I fixed mine about 2 weeks ago, thinking about fixing them tonight along with some BBQ chicken and asparagus done on the grill.

I do potatoes this way, but instead of adding the butter, I will smash them, fry them and place them on a cast iron griddle pan. When all are fried, I will add cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, salt and pepper and put under broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese. I will add a dollop of sour cream to the top and a bit of parsley for color.

Sounds like a fried baked potato. Interesting.


I hate to hijack his thread, but boil potatoes until done. Allow to dry, then smash them with the bottom of a glass or a rolling pin. Put some olive oil and butter in a heavy pan (I use cast iron) and fry until nice and crispy, turn. While the bottom is browning, add cheese, bacon, etc.

This sounds great. Maybe mix in a few baby reds for color.
