• Adjust the rack to the lower third and preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the potatoes with the salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, shallow pan (1-inch deep). Roast, without turning or stirring, until the underside are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the anchovies, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Turn the potatoes over with a spatula and roast for 10 minutes more. Toss with the garlic and roast for 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the anchovy mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

ROASTED POTATOES AND HADDOCK PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium pot over low heat. Add garlic and anchovies; cook, stirring frequently to break up anchovies, until garlic is soft but not browned, 3-4 minutes. Add red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add tomato purée, increase heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 15-20 minutes. Stir in olives; simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.

Keep in oven.
