I love using fingerling potatoes in salad recipes or just roasting them with a little olive oil and coarse salt. They aren't just pretty to serve, these petite spuds are full of delicious buttery flavor. I love the fun color pop they give to salads and side dishes.
How To Make Roasted Fingerling Potato Salad with Green Beans
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 16 oz haricots verts green beans
- 1 ½ lbs Idaho fingerling potatoes, sliced into cubes
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp good quality white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- zest of ½ lemon (about ½ tsp)
- ½ tsp honey
- 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash fingerling potatoes and pat dry. Slice into cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Snap stem ends off green beans, wash and pat dry. Place beans in a bowl and drizzle beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread potatoes out onto a greased roasting pan and roast them for 10 minutes. Stir potatoes and add beans to the pan. Roast for 20 more minutes until beans are crisp-tender and potatoes are lightly golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan. Chop the shallots and garlic and add to the pan. Cook until shallots are translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour shallots and garlic into a bowl and add balsamic vinegar, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, honey, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until blended. Place green beans and potatoes into a large serving bowl and pour dressing on top. Toss to coat and sprinkle with feta cheese. Serve room temperature.
