YUKON GOLD POTATO AND WILD MUSHROOM GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until brown and soft, about 6 minutes. Generously butter 11x7x2-inch baking dish. Peel and cut potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange 2 layers of potatoes in prepared dish. Spoon 1/3 of mushrooms over potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Repeat 2 more times with potatoes, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Pour cream over potatoes. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Uncover and continue baking until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes longer (30 minutes if room temperature). Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

YUKON GOLD AND GREEN CHILE HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the top third of the garlic off and discard. Place the garlic head into a piece of foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add some olive oil and enclose in the foil. Put into the oven and roast until golden and tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Increase the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the poblano on a sheet pan and into the oven. Roast, about 25 minutes. Remove the poblano from the oven and place into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to steam, about 10 minutes. Peel, stem, seed and dice the poblano. Set aside.
• Place the diced potatoes into a pot and cover with water. Season the water with salt and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook until tender, and then drain.
• To a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add the butter, canola oil and shallots. Allow the shallots to sweat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained potatoes in one layer and allow them to crust and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the poblano and piquillo peppers. Smash 2 of the roasted garlic cloves and toss to combine. Add the cilantro and toss to combine. Taste and season if necessary.

ROAST BEEF AND WILD MUSHROOM HASH

Steps:

• Place the diced potatoes into a pot covered with cold water, set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 12 minutes or until softened but still firm, drain, and spread out on a cookie sheet to cool quickly for 5 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, add the onion and cook to a light golden color before adding the blanched potatoes. Cook the potatoes and onions for 4 to 5 minutes or until the potatoes begin to brown. Add the julienned mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 additional minutes.
• Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper, remove using a slotted spoon, and add the cubed beef to the hot oil in one even layer. Brown the beef over high heat, turning only when one side has browned, and browning all sides evenly and quickly to maintain a medium rare interior. The beef should brown in approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add the chili puree, tomato dice and cilantro. Add the cooked onion potato mushroom mix back to the pan and stir to combine. Press down along the edges so that a crust forms along the bottom. Turn the cooked hash out onto a plate and garnish with warm blanched sugar snap peas. Serve {optional} with poached quail eggs.
