Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 hors d'oeuvres, serving 2

Ingredients

a 1/2-pound russet (baking) potato
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons minced drained bottle sun-dried tomatoes in oil
1 tablespoon minced scallion greens

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut twelve 1/4-inch-thick rounds from the middle of the potato, discarding the ends, pat them dry with paper towels, and brush them on both sides with the oil. Roast the potato slices on a baking sheet in the upper third of a preheated 500°F. oven for 6 minutes, or until the undersides are golden. Turn the slices, roast them for 6 minutes more, or until the undersides are golden and crisp, and let them cool until they can be handled.

    Step 2

    While the potatoes are roasting, in a bowl stir together the cream cheese, the tomatoes, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the filling on half the potato slices, top it with the remaining potato slices, pressing the slices together to form sandwiches, and halve the sandwiches.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!

Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
