• Turn potatoes over and roast in lower third of oven 10 minutes more. Toss potatoes with garlic and roast 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in anchovy mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

MASHED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes in 1/2-inch slices. Rinse under cold water and transfer to a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by an inch and add the salt. Set over medium-high heat, cover, and bring to a simmer. Remove the lid, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
• While the potatoes cook, mash the anchovies, garlic, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with a mortar and pestle, or with a bowl and fork. Combine the anchovy mixture with the cream and warm up for a few seconds in the microwave (or in a small saucepan over medium heat) until hot but not boiling.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Add the anchovy mixture and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set the pan over medium-low heat, and mash the potatoes with a fork or potato ricer, incorporating the other ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and keep warm until ready to serve.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVIES & LEMON

Steps:

• Adjust the rack to the lower third and preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the potatoes with the salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, shallow pan (1-inch deep). Roast, without turning or stirring, until the underside are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the anchovies, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Turn the potatoes over with a spatula and roast for 10 minutes more. Toss with the garlic and roast for 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the anchovy mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot.

POTATOES WITH ANCHOVY AND PESTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375.
• Slice potatoes up to 1/4-inch thick.
• In a food processor, combine 2 cups basil leaves, 1 clove garlic, 2 tablespoons pine nuts, 4 anchovy fillets, 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Pulse until blended, adding another 2 to 4 tablespoons of oil until smooth.
• Toss with potatoes. Layer in an 8-by-10 baking dish and bake until top is browned and potatoes are done, about 55 minutes.

POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, put the red onion, vinegar and a healthy pinch of salt. Stir together, then let sit for 10 minutes, so onion softens and pickles slightly. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife. Carefully slice 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a wide, low bowl and season lightly with salt. Pour the vinaigrette over. Using your hands, gently coat the potato slices with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Set aside at room temperature to let the salad absorb the dressing.
• Just before serving, add thyme leaves and parsley and gently toss the potato slices again. (Some of the vinaigrette will have settled to the bottom of the bowl.) Garnish with halved or quartered hard-cooked egg and arugula leaves, if using.
