Ingredients:

* It really doesn’t matter what size you dice potatoes for this recipe, but smaller pieces will cook faster.

Tools:

Directions:

1. Potato Preparation and Cooking:

Let’s start the preparation of Potato Kisses with potato preparation.

1.1.

Rinse potatoes under cold water.

1.2.

Peel and chop potatoes.

1.3.

Place into a medium pot and then fill the pot with water (about 1” above the level of the potatoes).

1.4.

Cover the pot with a lid and place it on a high-heat burner. Bring to a boil.

1.5.

Lower heat to medium and boil until fully cooked (about 12 – 15 minutes). Take one out and taste it to make sure it is done.

1.6.

Drain the water by pouring it over a colander.

1.7.

Place potatoes into a kitchen mixer with a whisk attachment.

2. Preheat Oven:

2.1.

Set oven to preheat to 350°F.

3. Dough for Kisses:

3.1. Add to the kitchen mixer:

½ stick of butter
1 clove of garlic – grated
¼ cup of finely chopped chives
¾ TSP of salt
½ TSP of ground pepper

Whisk on a low speed until partially combined (about 1 minute).

3.2. Then crack in:

1 egg

And process until fully combined and a creamy texture is reached (about 2 – 3 minutes).

Notes:

  • The final dough for kisses should not be too thick but should still hold their shape.
  • If yours is not holding its’ shape well enough, you can consider stirring in a little bit more or add parmesan to thicken it.

3.3.

Fill into a pastry bag. You can use just a plain pastry bag without the tip and then simply cut the top after filling, or you can use pastry tips.

4. Pipe out Kisses:

4.1. Pipe out individual kisses from the pastry bag until you have used all the dough for the kisses.

Notes:

  • The size of each kiss does not matter (I prefer the size of about ¼ cup each). What is important is to try to reach a unified size.
  • Keep a space between each of at least 1”.

5. Bake and Serve Potato Kisses:

5.1.

Bake in a preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until done—the sides of each kiss will start turning slightly brown, and a light crust will form on the surface (test with a light touch).

5.2. Serve as an appetizer or as a side to your main course.

Tip:
Gently manipulate it with a turner or spatula during plating.

If parts of the ingredients stick to the side of the mixing bowl during mixing, stop the mixer, and place it back into the bowl with a spatula. Then, continue mixing.

Types of Potatoes

May 24, 2024

The potato. That unassuming, often-overlooked tuber lurking in our pantries and crisper drawers is, in reality, a culinary chameleon. While we might grab a bag labeled simply “potatoes,” the world beneath the soil’s surface (and even above it!) offers a remarkable array of types of potatoes. This article isn’t about starch levels; it’s about understanding the broader categories, shapes, colors, and textures that make this vegetable so incredibly versatile. Appreciating the variety in the ingredient can elevate even the simplest potato dish.
