Spring Roasted Potato Salad Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed baking pan with cooking spray.
• In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients with whisk.
• Place potatoes in center of baking pan, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat. Spread in single layer in pan. Roast 30 minutes, turning once.
• In medium bowl, toss asparagus with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• Remove potatoes from oven, and arrange asparagus on baking pan with potatoes. Roast 5 to 7 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned and asparagus is tender.
• Transfer roasted vegetables to serving bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes to allow vegetables to absorb dressing. Add arugula; toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Put in a bowl and whisk with the mayonnaise, vinegar, and black pepper to taste.
• For the salad: Put the water, vermouth, garlic, salt, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns, and potatoes in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, lower the heat, and cook until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the radishes, then immediately drain all the vegetables in a colander in the sink. Remove and discard the garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Cool slightly and toss the vegetables with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes. (The salad can be prepared up to this point a day ahead.)
• About 10 minutes before serving, toss the cucumber, tomatoes, and scallions in a small bowl with salt and black pepper to taste. When ready to serve, fold the cucumber mixture and herbs into the potato salad. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• To roast vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°.
• Wrap peeled garlic cloves together in foil with a few drops of olive oil and put in oven for the same time you will be roasting the peppers and potatoes, around 35 minutes.
• Cut potatoes in half and cut red peppers into half inch pieces.
• In a large bowl, toss potatoes, bell peppers and 3 TBS olive oil, along with salt and pepper to taste.
• Arrange potatoes and bell peppers in one layer, divided amongst 2 shallow baking pans.
• Roast in the middle and lower third of the oven, switching positions of the pans halfway through the roasting time, for a total of 35 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and tender.
• To make salad: After potatoes are done,remove pans from oven and immediately toss roasted potatoes and peppers with 2 TBS balsamic vinegar.
• Cool and remove garlic from foil.
• Squeeze cloves into a small bowl and mash with a fork with remaining 1/2 TBS olive oil and 1 TBS balsamic vinegar.
• Toss together with potatoes and peppers.
• Just before serving, add fresh basil.
• Serve at room temperature.
• Optional items you could add for a main dish meal: goat cheese, toasted pine nuts, grilled chicken, grilled tuna, etc.
