Roasted Potato Salad with Herb Dressing

by

If Dad is BBQ’ing for Father’s Day, how about making this very tasty potato salad. It’s light and healthy sans mayo so it can sit out at any meal without worry of the salad getting too hot.

Roasted Potato Salad with Herb Dressing

Ingredients (Roasted Potatoes):

  • 2 bags of small fingerling potatoes
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Mix the ingredients on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

Ingredients (Dressing):

  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh tarragon
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh thyme
  • 1/4 fresh dill
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons capers with juice
  • 2 tablespoon Coarse Dijon Mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil – enough to make the mixture a dressing
  • Chives – chopped on top for garnish
  1. Add all the ingredients into the food processor and stream in the olive oil to mix and get the dressing consistency.
  2. ***Note: you can use any fresh herbs that you like or have an abundance of.
  3. While potatoes are still hot combine the dressing with them and you have an easy potato salad. If you don’t end up using all the dressing it can be stored in the freezer for a later use (it would also be good on fish)

Versatile Yummy Potatoes

by

I named this dish Versatile Yummy Potatoes as there are so many ways to use these I couldn’t decide: potato salad without mayo so it is great for a gathering where the food will be set out for a while, as a hash with eggs, as a side dish (I did it as a side with a simple pork roast or my Chipotle Lime Chicken) or the leftovers a salad (not all salads need to have lettuce) base with the chicken cut up with the potatoes for an easy lunch. Or as a vegetarian dish with tofu added…

Orange Chicken with Radish & Bok Choy

Ingredients

  • 1 lb potatoes – diced (I use either the fingerlings or the bag of mixed colored potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander + 1/2 teaspoon coriander separated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin + 1/2 teaspoon cumin separated
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro + more for garnish
  • 2 limes: zested and juiced
  • 1 cup cooked edemame
  • 1 cup frozen roasted corn – defrosted
  • 2 15oz cans of black beans – drained and rinsed

Takes

Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan heat the butter and olive oil together, add diced potatoes for 7 to 10 minutes on high.
  2. Reduce heat to medium/high, add 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin, salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes. Potatoes should be cooked thru and have a great color on them.
  3. Reduce the heat to simmer and add the black beans, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, lime juice and zest, stir to combine well with cooked potatoes. Simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the roasted corn, edemame and heat thru – about 5 minutes. Taste and see if you need any additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped cilantro (how much really depends on your taste and how much you like cilantro – I like it a lot so would add about 1/4 cup).
