Cooking with Potatoes

Potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, but variety choice is everything. Waxy (Charlotte, Yukon Gold): steamed, salads, sautéed. Floury (Russet, Bintje, Maris Piper): mash, fries, gratins. For perfect French fries, double-cook: first 8 minutes at 280 °F to cook the inside, then 3 minutes at 355 °F for the crispy shell. Perfect mash? Boil whole in their skins, push through a ricer (never a food processor — turns to glue), cold cubed butter, hot milk. Roasted potatoes: parboil 8 minutes in salted water, shake to roughen the edges, then 425 °F for 35 minutes in duck fat. Authentic gratin dauphinois has no cheese — just cream, garlic and nutmeg.
