Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes, scrubbed
Coarse salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (quartered if very large)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and halved
2 tablespoons salted capers, well rinsed and drained

1 (3.75 ounce) can sardines in olive oil

POTATO AND OLIVE STEW WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Potato and Olive Stew With Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, weekday, casseroles, main course, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil
2 pounds new potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 large onions, sliced thick
5 to 6 cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon minced fresh chili pepper (or 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups chopped fresh or good quality canned tomatoes
1 cup small black olives, rinsed and pitted
Sea salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy and deep non-reactive skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat and saute the potatoes until they turn a golden brown on all sides, about five minutes. They don't need to cook through because they will continue cooking in the sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove potatoes from skillet and add onions, saute until transparent, about three minutes, then add the garlic and chili pepper. After a few seconds, pour in the wine and add the oregano, tomatoes and olives. Cook for one minute, then remove from heat.
  • Place potatoes in clay or glass ovenproof pan that can hold them in one layer. Pour sauce over them and bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes -- adding a little water if needed -- or until the potatoes are tender. Taste after 15 minutes and add salt if needed -- the olives are quite salty -- or more chili pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve while still hot.

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES



Herby Potato Salad With Smashed Olives image

As with coleslaw, there are two schools of potato salad: the mayonnaise-based and the vinegar-based. This recipe plants itself firmly in the latter camp with bright, punchy flavors. The dressing here is a classic red-wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette that develops great flavor after marinating with capers, smashed green olives and thinly sliced shallots. Just fifteen minutes in the dressing softens the shallot's bite, and a quick soak brings canned olives to life. There may appear to be too much dressing when you add the cooked potatoes, but as the potatoes cool, they'll absorb it beautifully. (The key is to add them to the dressing as soon as they are cool enough to handle.) Any small potatoes will work for this recipe, and a mix of colors looks particularly nice. The most important detail is that the potatoes should be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small (or baby) red or Yukon Gold potatoes, all about the same size
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup Castelvetrano or other green olives, pitted and smashed (about 4 ounces)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
  • While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
  • Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet, and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart when mixed with the other ingredients.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: Over-mixing will make the potato salad mushy.
  • Taste the potato salad and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise, depending on your taste.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the potato salad to firm up.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious potato salad that everyone will enjoy.
