We never know you could get so creative with USA Potatoes in your kitchen, until we were showed how these 2 Japanese chef invent mouth-watering dishes using USA Potatoes.
Potatoes are decent choice for diet with affordable price. In a study designed to identify which vegetables provide the most nutrients per unit per cost, potatoes had the highest score per dollar (along with sweet potatoes and carrots) on 9 important nutrients - potassium, fiber, protein, vitamin A, C and E, calcium, iron and magnesium.
There are 7 main potatoes type that can be found at major grocery stores. Namely.
1) Russets - look for brown, netted skin and white flesh. Enjoy them baked, pan-fried, mashed or roasted
2) Petites - Loo for small, even "bite-sized" potatoes. Don't let their size fool you, because their flavours are actually more concentrated and they cook more quickly.
3) Fingerlings - Look for small, slender "finger sized" potatoes, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches in length. Pan-fry them to showcase their wonderful nutty and buttery taste.
4) Reds - Look for rosy red skin and white flesh. Enjoy them in soups, stews and salads to get the most of their subtly sweet flavour.
5) Yellows - Look for golden skin and golden flesh. Bake, roast or grill them up for a slightly sweet, caramelized flavour.
6) Purples / Blues - Look for deep purple skin with flesh that ranges from purple to lavender to almost white. Roast them, then toss into salads for a pop of colour.
7) Look for white (sometimes light tan) skin and white flesh. They make extra-velvety mashed potatoes and grilling brings out a full-bodied flavour.Â
The Japanese Chef - Chef Yuikchi Matsubara who runs B-Lab Bar, Bistro & Bakery in Mont Kiara crafted US Potato Curry Bun and US Potato Pizza with Gorgonzola, while Chef Hideaki Nakajima who has worked for various Japanese restaurants in Kuala Lumpur made Nikujaga (Japanese dish of meat, potatoes and onion) and US Potato Buns Topped with Seafood Sauce.
To make the event more interesting, the chefs actually prepared the 4 dishes in front of all audience so we can have a glimpse to steal the kitchen art from these renowned chefs.Â
Here are the recipes to create these dishes, should you have a thought of replicating these dishes at home.
