Roast Potato Salad Michael Smith Recipes

ANN'S ROASTED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix 6 tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, salt, pepper and herbs. Add potatoes and toss. Spread out onto a baking sheet and bake for 55 minutes, stirring occasionally. When potatoes are golden brown remove the pan from the oven and let cool. When potatoes are cool, place them in a bowl and scrape the pan drippings into a measuring cup. Add enough oil to the drippings to measure 6 tablespoons of oil. Whisk the vinegar and mustard in a small bowl. Gradually add the oil and then mix in the shallots. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and combine. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Add chopped basil. Let stand for 1 hour at room temperature. Serve.

ROAST POTATO SALAD (MICHAEL SMITH)

Steps:

• Stack the bacon slices on top of each other then cut into thin pieces. Toss them into a large sauté pan, add a splash of water and begin heating the works over a medium-high heat. When the water evaporates and the bacon begins to brown turn the heat down a notch and continue cooking until it's all nice and crisp. Strain and reserve the fat.
• Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F Cut the potatoes in half. Toss them with the bacon fat and seasoning then roast them until they're golden brown, about forty minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Toss the potatoes with the remaining ingredients then serve right away or save for later. This salad is great when it's made the night before the party!

ROASTED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut potatoes into quarters, cover with water, salt the water, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until tender and drain, letting all the steam evaporate. When dry and cool, toss with 4 ounces extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place in a single layer on a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes until tender and golden brown. The potatoes will need to be stirred while roasting to insure all sides are nicely browned.
• While potatoes are roasting, "shave" the fennel using a mandoline or the slicing side of a box grater. Thinly slice celery stalks and tops. Reserve.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, vinegar, and salt, to taste. Gradually whisk in the remaining 4 ounces extra-virgin olive oil. Fold in fennel seeds and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove roasted potatoes from oven and allow to slightly cool. Add potatoes and their oil to the vinaigrette bowl. Top with shaved celery and fennel and toss.
