Potato Carpet Recipe
6 large Yukon gold potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 medium purple onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp sugar
12 large garlic cloves
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Italian parsley, for garnish
Preheat oven to 300°F.
In a large pot, boil potatoes in salted water over medium high heat, until fork tender.
In a frying pan, warm 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat, then add the onions and sugar to the pan. Sauté for about 10 minutes until golden and soft, stirring occasionally.
Place garlic, tomatoes and 1/4 cup olive oil in a small oven proof dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Raise oven temperature to 400°F.
Grease a parchment lined baking sheet with olive oil, then place potatoes on the paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the potatoes and smash them until they are an even layer. Drizzle with more olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, turmeric and paprika.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until potato carpet is a crispy golden brown.
Arrange onions, garlic and tomatoes on top of the carpet, then garnish with parsley.
Serve hot.
