The humble potato can be prepared and served as a total show-stopped. Tender baby marble potatoes make for an eye catching presentation and these recipes ensure they'll be equally mouth watering. Try the high-end potato salad and get ready for a new take on the old classic.
Most people picture potato salad as a mayonnaise-based dressing over potatoes and other vegetables. This recipe takes potato salad and gives it a whole new twist - bright, fresh, and light. Plus, the dressing does great double-duty over any steamed or boiled vegetable, like asparagus, peas, or carrots. Use mixed fingerlings for a multicolor dish that looks as amazing as it tastes.
Served at The Teague in San Francisco, you can make this dish look so beautiful no one will want to eat it. Whether that's a fair trade off or not is up to you and you're guests. Warm ricotta and lemon zest offer a light and almost radical alternative to the typical sour cream and chives.
The understated nature of this dish belies the tangy sweet-and-sour of balsamic dressing. Perfect as a side dish to contrast with a heavier-flavored meal like a Porterhouse steak or filet mignon.
