1½ lb. baby potatoes, quartered
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp ground sweet paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups (packed) baby arugula
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano), freshly grated, to taste (I used 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • On a large baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up), spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • For the salad. As the potatoes roast, place the arugula in a large bowl and top with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and then set aside.
  • Put it together. Plate the arugula on a large platter or plate and top with the roasted potatoes. Then grate a generous amount of parmesan cheese over the dish. Best served immediately.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium oranges
2 packed cups (2 ounces) arugula
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 medium orange)

Steps:

  • Potatoes: Put an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.

POTATO, ITALIAN SAUSAGE, AND ARUGULA SALAD



Potato, Italian Sausage, and Arugula Salad image

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Pork     Potato     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 lb small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) boiling potatoes
1 lb sweet or hot Italian sausage links
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup drained bottled roasted red peppers, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 lb arugula, coarse stems discarded (4 cups)

Steps:

  • Soak onion in cold water to cover 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Meanwhile, cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool slightly.
  • While potatoes are simmering, prick sausages once or twice with a fork, then cook in 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together vinegar and salt in a large bowl until salt is dissolved. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle (but still warm), peel and cut into 1-inch cubes, adding to vinegar as cut, and toss gently.
  • Add onion, sausages, roasted peppers, arugula, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste to potatoes and toss well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as fingerling, red, or Yukon Gold, hold their shape well in salads and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm will prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: This will help them to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a good option. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as herbs, spices, or citrus juice.
  • Add a variety of vegetables: Arugula, bell peppers, and tomatoes are all good choices for a potato salad. You can also add other vegetables, such as cucumber, celery, or carrots.
  • Garnish the salad: A sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or cilantro, will add color and flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With so many different variations to choose from, you are sure to find a potato salad recipe that you will love.
