GORDON RAMSAY RECIPES

It’s almost that time of year again. The holidays are still
a little ways off, but you’re already starting to wonder (worry?) what creative
side dishes will adorn the season’s holiday tables. This delicious, and very
versatile roasted mushroom and potato salad could be worth a look.

“Wild” mushrooms have never been less so, and that’s a good
thing. Not that hunting for mushrooms in a dewy forest isn’t fun, but I’ll take
a nice safe grocery store over actual labor anytime. Especially since the
selection has gotten so much better over the years. You can easily find 5-6
varieties of mushrooms in the big markets, and they all will work.

I’ve given you an almost blank canvas here, with possible
additions being as numerous as they are obvious. One geometrical change I’d
make next time, would be to quarter the potatoes instead of halving them, to
add surface area, as well as decreasing the cooking time.

Not only is this salad good hot, room temp, and cold, but it also
works for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 6 portions

2 tbsp olive oil, more as needed

2 lbs new yellow or red potatoes

1 lb trimmed wild mushrooms

2 oz pancetta

salt and pepper to taste

3 tbsp sherry vinegar

2 tbsp tarragon

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

Note: I roasted the potatoes at 400 F. for 30 minutes, then
turned the oven up to 425 F. to finish with the mushrooms. For simplicity’s
sake, just use 425 F the whole way. It’s 30 minutes for just potatoes, then
about 20-30 more with the mushrooms, tossing a few times. Don’t stop until
everything is looking awesome.

German Roasted Potato Salad

by Pam on October 7, 2012

We had friends over for an Oktoberfest celebration and I decided to make a German potato salad. I found this recipe on Use Real Butter^[1] that looked simple yet tasty. I liked the idea of roasting the potatoes and using a vinegar base instead of a mayo or mustard base. It was a snap to make and it was light and delicious. It went really well with the brats, cabbage salad, fondue, and German beers.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking tray with tin foil then coat it well with cooking spray.

Dice the potatoes and onions then drizzle with the olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; toss to coat evenly then place them on the baking tray. Place into the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Remove from the oven and place into a bowl.

While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, until crispy and cooked through. Place the bacon on paper towels to drain the excess grease; crumble.

Combine the vinegar, water, and sugar together then mix until well combined. Add the bacon crumbles to the potatoes followed by the parsley. Drizzle the vinegar mixture on top and mix until evenly coated. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve warm.
