Whip up this Thai-inspired Potato Casserole recipe, packed with a zesty kick and smooth, creamy richness. Here's how to make this indulgent dish:
Ingredients (listed for convenience):
- 1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cup sambal oelek chili paste, or 6 fresh red jalapeños
- 6 tablespoons peanut or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce, or to taste
- 4 tablespoons palm sugar
Cookware Suggestions:
- A large, non-stick pot for cooking potatoes
- A skillet for sautéing spices and finishing the dish
Instructions:
- Cook the potatoes in a large pot filled with water over high heat until tender. Drain and allow cooling so you can handle them, then cut into quarters and set aside.
- Using a food processor, grind the onion, tomato, and sambal oelek or jalapeños until smooth, adding a little water if needed. Reserve the spice paste.
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the spice paste and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oil separates from the paste. Now add the coconut cream, water, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the oil separates from the sauce again. Add more palm sugar or fish sauce if desired for taste.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet, gently coating them with the sauce. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat each morsel. Alternatively, transfer the potatoes to a casserole dish, top with the prepared spice mixture, and bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes.
