Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 2 lbs “pee wee” potatoes, halved
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 3 red spring onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 2 cups packed arugula
- 6 radishes, thinly shaved on a mandolin
For the Arugula Pesto:
- 2 cups packed arugula
- 1 cup packed basil leaves
- A small handful of chives
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- ⅓ cup toasted pine nuts
- ⅓ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
1. Roast the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the halved potatoes on a half-sheet pan. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer with the cut sides facing down.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
2. Add Spring Onions:
- After 15 minutes, arrange the sliced red spring onions (white and light green parts only) over the potatoes.
- Continue roasting for an additional 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool on the sheet pan for 10 minutes before preparing the salad.
3. Prepare the Arugula Pesto:
- While the potatoes are roasting, make the pesto. In a food processor, combine the arugula, basil, chives, garlic, toasted pine nuts, Pecorino Romano cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey.
- Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, thinly shaved radishes, and the remaining green parts of the spring onions.
- Add the roasted potatoes and onions to the bowl.
- Drizzle with the arugula pesto, tossing gently to coat the ingredients. Add as much pesto as you prefer, and reserve any extra pesto for another use.
5. Serve:
- Serve the potato salad warm or at room temperature.
- Garnish with additional freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
This warm potato salad combines the earthy flavor of roasted potatoes with the bright, herbal notes of the arugula pesto, creating a delightful dish that is both hearty and refreshing. Enjoy it as a side or a light main course!
