ROASTED POTATOES WITH THYME AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

ROASTED-POTATO FENNEL SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, until cooked through.
• Saute the onions and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stockpot on medium heat until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the roasted potatoes (including the scrapings from the pan) and the chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, until all of the vegetables are very soft. Add the heavy cream and allow the soup to cool slightly. Pass the soup through the largest disk of a food mill or chop coarsely in batches in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Taste for salt and pepper. Reheat and serve hot.

OVEN ROASTED POTATOES AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. (I used an 18x12x1 sheet pan)
• Place the sliced potatoes and sliced fennel in a large bowl.
• Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper to the vegetables.
• Toss to combine and then spread them out in one single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Tuck in a few extra sprigs of rosemary and thyme and drizzle with a teeny bit more olive oil.
• Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or just until the potatoes are crispy and the fennel is tender with a rich golden brown colour.
• Serve while still warm.
• NOTE
• Slicing fennel is really quite simple. First start by cutting off the stalks from the bulb (you can reserve the stalks for making soup).
• Cut the fennel vertically in half and leave the hard core attached, then slice into 1/2 inch wedges.
• Leaving the hard core attached will insure the wedges stay intact.
