Print Recipe | Rate & Review |
No one takes potatoes as seriously as Txikito’s husband-and-wife co-chefs Eder Montero and Alexandra Raij. Montero’s Basque grandmother used to whip up a little dish called patatas a la importancia, which put the spuds through no less than six cooking treatments before they showed up at the table. In a similar—if less labor-intensive—spirit, Raij has concocted this recipe, below. She recommends Carola potatoes (a German variety available at the Greenmarket’s Paffenroth stand), for their creamy texture and buttery flavor. Adding chicken livers and good grainy mustard makes them that much more important. -- Robin Raisfeld & Rob Patronite
