“There are two kinds of crisp potatoes that I prefer above all others. The first are called Swiss potatoes, and they're essentially a large potato pancake of perfect hash browns; the flipping of the pancake is so wildly dramatic that the potatoes themselves are almost beside the point. The second are called potatoes Anna; they are thin circles of potato cooked in a shallow pan in the oven and then turned onto a plate in a darling mound of crunchy brownness. Potatoes Anna is a classic French recipe, but there is something so homely and old-fashioned about them that they can usually be passed off as either an ancient family recipe or something you just made up.”

“The apple flavor had thoroughly soaked into the rice and onions... ... but, if the apples were simmered long enough to do that, wouldn't they have crumbled to mush? How they can still be so crisp?" "That's true! How does that work?" "Oh, that? That's easy. I used this!" "Apple juice?!" "Why use that?" "First, I sautéed the onions and set them with the rice to simmer. Then I poured in a bit of the apple juice while it was all boiling down. I didn't add the diced apple until the very end, cooking them just long enough to heat them through." "That's why they kept their crisp texture! Aha! What a brilliant idea! Using that juice let him unify the dish... ... infusing hints of apple flavor throughout the whole thing!”
