Oven Potatoes with Fennel

20 ounces potatoes, cut in 1/2" cubes
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and cut in 1" slices
1 medium sweet onion or shallot, diced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced finely
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, combine potatoes, fennel, onion, parsley, oil, salt and pepper; toss gently until well coated. Arrange mixture in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Bake, turning occasionally, until potatoes are crisp on all sides, 30-35 minutes. Serve immediately.

Pasta with Potatoes, Arugula & Rosemary

1 pound firm boiling potatoes
1 small red onion
About ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4-6 cloves garlic
Salt & Pepper
1 sprig rosemary
½ pound arugula
¾ pound penne or other tubular pasta
½ lemon

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Slice the potatoes about 1/3 inch thick and toss them with a small amount of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer in an oven proof dish or on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash the arugula, drain and set aside. Slice the red onion thin. Peel and chop fine the garlic cloves and the rosemary leaves. Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and put the pasta on to boil. Heat a sauté pan, add some of the olive oil and sauté the sliced onion until it is soft and translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat, add the potato slices, the garlic, and the rosemary, and toss together for a minute or two. When the noodles are done, drain them and add to the potatoes and onion along with the arugula. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and toss everything together. Drizzle a little olive oil over and serve.

Potato Leek Pancake

2 lb White Rose potatoes – I bet the Purple Vikings would work great!
6 tb Unsalted butter, clarified
2 lg Leeks *
1 ts Salt
1⁄2 ts Finely ground pepper
* white and green parts, cleaned and finely chopped This makes one big pancake, to be eaten by cutting into wedges and serving more as an accompaniment than a main course. Adapted from Diane Worthington's "The Cuisine of California" (J. P. Tarcher). Peel potatoes and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Grate and squeeze out every bit of moisture by wringing the potatoes in dry dish towels. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in heavy frying pan; add leeks and saute until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then add to potatoes and mix well. Heat remaining butter in a heavy skillet, preferably a nonstick one, and add potato-leek mixture. Flatten to make a pancake, then cover and cook about 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Turn pancake and cook until brown and crisp. Invert onto a serving platter and slice with serrated knife or pizza cutter into wedges.

Roasted Vegetable Salad
This recipe can be used with a mixture of vegetables that sounds good to you. The trick is to cut the vegetables in varying thicknesses based on how long they will take to roast since you’ll want them to all get done at the same time. Carrots or potatoes should be sliced thinner than summer squash or egg plant, for example.
Preheat oven to 425.
10 cups or so of fresh vegetables chopped for even cooking
possibilities include, but are not limited to potatoes, eggplant, onions, garlic, summer
squash, green beans, peppers, fennel, carrots, garlic.
Spread on a baking pan and toss with ¼ cup olive oil and sprinkle with salt – kosher salt, if you have some. Bake for 20 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Let the vegetables cool.
Slice 2 cups of cherry tomatoes in half and toss with the vegetables along with 3 oz. of feta cheese and a vinaigrette dressing.

Vinaigrette Dressing:
1 Tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, pressed
½ teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons olive oil
fresh herbs - try basil, thyme, oregano to taste
Pepper to taste
The vegetables would also be good served over pasta or rice or topping a pizza.

Roasted Winter Vegetables
We have found that our favorite way to have celeriac is roasted with other vegetables. It’s mild, rich flavor is a nice addition to roasted vegetables. Peel its tough outer skin before cutting. Following is a basic recipe for any combination of winter veggies. Peeled garlic cloves are also a great thing to add.

6-8 cups winter vegetables: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips rutabagas, beets, winter squash, celeriac (peeled and cut in 1- inch pieces or slices ½ inch thick).
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon dried or 3 tablespoons fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, parsley, oregano

Toss ingredients together (keep onions separate, as they will roast faster; add them to the pan 10 minutes into the baking time). Spread in a single layer on greased baking pans. Roast in a preheated oven at 425 until tender, 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

Scalloped Potatoes with Kale
This is a great dish. Kim Laudert shared this recipe of Dayna Anderson’s with us several years ago. Beth Franzen brought is out last Tuesday. It may even make a kale lover out of you!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 10x10x2 inch pan.

1 pound kale, rinsed and cooked about 7 minutes in ½ cup water until wilter, then drained, cooled, and chopped.

5 medium to large potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced (can use more)
1-1/2 cups grated gruyere cheese

6 tablespoons butter, divided, and cut into bits
salt and pepper to taste
1-1/4 cup milk (or cream)

Layer half the potatoes in the prepared pan. Top with the kale, garlic, ½ the cheese, butter and salt and pepper. Top with the remaining potatoes, cheese, butter and more salt and pepper. Pour the milk over all. Bake 50 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
