Twice Sautéed, Twice Salted Crispy Potatoes

These sautéed potatoes have the crispiest surface and the softest center! They’re one of my favorite things to cook and eat! The reason they’re impossibly crispy and soft at the same time is because they’re first slow cooked in olive oil, kind of a confit, making the potatoes tender on the inside, and then cooked in high heat to finish up sealing that crispy outside. Each potato bite is decadent and so flavorful! Do you ever thought you’ll be talking about potatoes the same way you talk about ice cream? After you make these, you definitely will!

It was in high school when I tasted the most amazing plate of potatoes. Way better than French fries!! I was at a friend’s house and her mother made them for us as a snack. After trying them I was curious about…

Roasted Baby Potatoes with Toasted Pistachios Romesco Sauce

Romesco sauce is a raw sauce traditional from Catalonia, Spain, and uses roasted red bell peppers, tomatoes, almonds, sometimes breadcrumbs, some spice elements and some acidic elements as its base. You can imagine how many versions of Romesco are out there, even in Spain. So I can say that if you have these elements and eat the sauce raw, you may call it a Romesco or Romesco inspired sauce. This raw sauce is super flavorful and goes wonderful with grilled or broiled fish or veggies. And my version has a few tweaks from the original ingredients for an updated but still delicious take on the wonderful Romesco sauce.

Farmers Market Extra Creamy Pasta (made with coconut milk)

Even if the holidays are mega officially here and we wish to eat our weight (and the neighbor’s) in cookies and cake, we still need to eat, right?! Like real, substantial food I mean. That’s why I needed to share with you this super creamy pasta I made the other day using coconut milk, all the fresh squash from the season and lots of earthy herbs for a warm and comforting pasta meal. No heavy cream or butter this time. All the creaminess of the sauce comes purely from the coconut milk, the starch from the pasta water and all the cheese melted into it.
