Roasted Leeks and Potatoes Vinaigrette image

I prefer using tiny whole potatoes for this elegant potato and leek salad if I can find them. Firm red potatoes or fingerlings are good alternatives.

Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds (2 large) leeks, white and light green part only, cut in half lengthwise, cleaned and cut in 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 pound red potatoes or fingerlings, washed and cut in 1-inch dice, or very small potatoes left whole
1/2 cup dry white wine
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or sherry vinegar (more to taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (more to taste)
1 to 2 hard-boiled eggs (to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the leeks and potatoes in a baking dish large enough for them to fit in a single layer. Toss with the white wine, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Cover the baking dish tightly, and place in the oven. Roast for 30 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to 450 degrees, and return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes until the leeks and potatoes are tender but not mushy and just beginning to color. Remove from the heat, and add the remaining olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and additional salt and pepper if desired. Toss together and allow to cool.
  • Put the hard-boiled eggs through a sieve, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange over the leeks and potatoes (I like to arrange the sieved egg in a wide stripe down the middle), sprinkle with parsley and serve.

This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The leeks and potatoes are both packed with nutrients, and the vinaigrette is a healthy way to add flavor. I also appreciate that this dish is relatively low in calories.

I'm not a fan of vinegar, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm glad I did, because the vinaigrette is actually quite mild. It adds a nice tang to the roasted vegetables without being overpowering.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have a few slices of bacon in the fridge, and I love to add them to roasted vegetables. The bacon adds a nice smoky flavor, and it also helps to crisp up the vegetables.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook leeks, and this recipe is a winner. The roasting process brings out their sweetness, and the vinaigrette adds a nice tang. I served it with grilled salmon, and it was a delicious meal.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the roasted potatoes, and they don't even notice the leeks. I also like that this dish is relatively healthy, since it's made with mostly vegetables.

Leek and potato are a match made in heaven, and roasting them brings out their best flavors. I love the addition of bacon and the tangy vinaigrette. This dish is simple to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant.
