Can I just say how happy I am to be back online -- blogging again just makes me feel so good! I took a break from blogging and realized that when I break, I get lazy. Night after night we were eating boring chicken , eggs or getting takeout. NO more.
Today I have a really great potato salad for you -- I mean, doesn't everyone need another potato salad recipe in their arsenal? The answer is yes. This one is really special because the potatoes are roasted first and the recipe is mayo-free. Oh and there's fresh jalapeno in there to really spice everything up! Serve this potato salad with grilled meats or fish or add it to a summer BBQ as a side.
(seriously how cute are these little potatoes?? -- find 'em at Trader Joe's)
Smashed Fingerlings with Jalapeno
3 pounds fingerling potatoes, halved crosswise if large
½ cup olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced into rounds, seeds removed if desired
¼ cup (lightly packed) torn flat-leaf parsley leaves
Preheat oven to 450°. Toss potatoes with ¼ cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 30–35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then lightly flatten.
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining ¼ cup oil until emulsified; season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes, jalapeño, and parsley and toss; season with salt and pepper.
