Roasted Potato Salad With Shaved Fennel Salsa Verde Recipes

ROASTED POTATO AND FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prick the potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and tender, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, quarter the potatoes and place in a bowl with the diced fennel, scallions and 1/3 cup of the fennel ferns. Combine the mayonnaise and sour cream, then fold into the potato salad. Season well with salt and pepper. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of fennel ferns.

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.

ROASTED SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Lay tomatillos, Anaheim peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, and garlic on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until tomatillos release their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove tomatillos and garlic from the baking sheet; flip Anaheim peppers, jalapeno peppers, and onions and return to the oven. Continue to broil until peppers are blackened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to handle, about 5 minutes.
