Time 1h5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ cups plain full-fat greek yogurt
¼ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
cold water, for soaking
2 cups ice
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
3 medium russet potatoes
1 package McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend
½ cup chickpeas, drained and rinses
½ cup cucumber, diced
1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1 plum tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced
½ cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh dill, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Make the yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, parsley, dill, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 week.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) of vegetable oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (170°C).
  • Make the fries: Fill a large bowl with cold water, the ice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice into ¼-inch (½ cm) thick strips about 3 inches long. Transfer the potato slices to the cold water as you go. Rinse the potatoes under more cold water in the bowl until the water runs clear, rinsing off any excess starch. Add the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with thick paper, such as brown paper grocery bags.
  • Remove the potatoes from the fridge and drain, then dry completely with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Working in batches, cook the potatoes in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes, or until they're soft and light golden in color. Remove the fries from the oil using a wire mesh skimmer and transfer to the prepared baking sheets to drain. Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Working in batches, return the fries to the hot oil and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on clean paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with the zesty seasoning
  • To assemble, spread a layer of fries on a platter and top with some of the yogurt sauce, the chickpeas, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and feta. Top with more yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with dill.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield About 6 cups, serving 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds fingerling potatoes or other small waxy potatoes
1/2 cup or so extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup 1/4-inch slices of scallion, green and white parts
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, mashed and coarsely chopped (1 1/2 tsp)
1/3 cup white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons or more coarsely chopped fresh green or purple basil, fresh tarragon, or parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more, if needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (coarse), plus more if needed
Large radicchio leaves, about 6, from the outside of the head
1 or 2 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes and put them, whole, in a saucepan with water to cover by 1/2 inch. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook the potatoes gently until they are just tender and can be pierced with a sharp knife. Drain immediately and let cool slightly. (Scrape the skin from the cooked potatoes, if you want, as soon as they can be handled. For a decorative look with fingerlings, scrape off only a band of skin, about 1/2 inch thick, all around the long sides of the potato.)
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small saute pan. When hot, add the scallions and the onion, toss to coat well, and cook for about a minute over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, toss to mix, and cook for just a few moments, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Slice the potatoes while still warm, cutting them crosswise into 1/2-inch sections. Put the pieces in a large mixing bowl, pour the wine and 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil over them, and toss gently to distribute. Add the warm vegetables from the pan, mustard, chives, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper, and gently fold all together, mixing well but not crushing the potatoes. Taste the salad and add more seasonings as you like.
  • Serve the potatoes warm (no colder than room temperature). Arrange the large radicchio leaves, if you have them, in a close circle on the serving platter, with their curved insides up, to form a rough bowl. Spoon the potato salad inside the leaves, sprinkle chopped egg around the edges, and parsley over the top.

4 pieces leek (white part only), split lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 roasted red peppers, jarred or homemade
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2/3 cup Champagne Vinaigrette, recipe follows
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Champagne vinegar

  • Cut each potato into 8 pieces. In a medium bowl, mix the potatoes, leeks, peppers, thyme, and tarragon. In a separate bowl, stir together the Champagne vinaigrette with the mustard. Drizzle the vinaigrette on the potato salad and toss gently until the vinaigrette coats the salad evenly. Season with the salt and pepper and toss again.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and salt together until the salt dissolves. Slowly whisk in the oil until the dressing is well blended. Season with pepper, to taste.
