makes 26 mini potatoes
ingredients
- 26 Yukon Gold mini potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced fresh chives
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Wash and dry potatoes. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, thyme, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake until a fork easily pierces potatoes, about 25 minutes. Remove and let cool until you are able to hold them. Take each potato, slice the top off, and use a small spoon to carefully hollow it out. Place potato pulp in a medium bowl and mash to a chunky consistency. Add sour cream, milk, Parmesan, chives, butter, salt and pepper, mashing ingredients together.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Generously spoon the filling into each potato shell. (Note: At this point, if you're preparing the potatoes in advance, allow them to cool, cover and refrigerate them. When ready to serve bring to room temperature.) Just before serving time, bake until slightly brown on top, 10-15 minutes.

I love it when I can describe a vegetable as tasting like crème brûlée. This dish, also known as nasu dengaku in Japanese restaurants, is eggplant transformed into a melty, creamy, sweet and salty treat. Long, narrow and glossy deep purple Japanese eggplants, with their delicate flavor and thin skin, lend themselves perfectly to being baked. Once tender, the flesh is topped with a nutty-tasting miso mixture and broiled until caramelized and bubbly.
In 1812, Thomas Jefferson introduced Brussels sprouts to the United States. Over 200 years later, we're still roasting these fiber-and-vitamin-rich sweet emerald gems until golden-crusted. Tossed in a sweet and tangy maple mustard vinaigrette, these tender sprouts are going to have an entire nation jumping on the Brussels bandwagon.
The best way to bring out the flavor of carrots? Roast them, especially like we do these Sweet Balsamic Roasted Carrots, where they become not only tender but also caramelized.
