Simple But Tasty Potato And Pancetta Salad Food

POTATO SALAD WITH PANCETTA, ROSEMARY, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange pancetta slices on rimmed baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes (do not turn). Drain on paper towels. Cool. Coarsely chop pancetta.
• Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, rosemary, lemon peel, and garlic in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place potatoes in large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer with lid ajar until tender, 18 to 25 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Drain; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
• Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices (remove skin, if desired). Place in large bowl; add celery. Drizzle dressing over; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until cold, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Pancetta and potato salad can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pancetta; chill. Keep potato salad chilled. Bring pancetta to room temperature before continuing.
• Sprinkle pancetta and chopped parsley over potato salad.

SIMPLE, TASTY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, with skins on, until just tender. Drain and let cool.
• When potatoes are cooled, peel and cut into bite-size pieces. Place in a large bowl.
• Coarsely chop eggs. Add eggs and pickle chunks to potatoes.
• Gently toss in mayonnaise. (Start with less mayo, and add more as needed to obtain consistency you prefer.) Be sure to toss lightly to avoid breaking up the potato too much.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Also add onion, if using. Stir gently again, just to combine.
• At our house, we usually serve a small bowl of onion on the side so people can add as much as they like, or none at all.

POTATO PANCETTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium (10-inch) oven-proof omelet pan over medium-low heat, cook the pancetta in the olive oil for 5 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove the pancetta from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pan (don't wipe it out). Add the potatoes and fry them for 6 to 8 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small dish in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then stir in the ricotta, Gruyere, melted butter, and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and stir into the egg mixture. Add the basil.
• Put the pancetta back into the pan with the potatoes and pour in the egg mixture. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the frittata is browned and puffed and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot.

SIMPLE BUT TASTY POTATO AND PANCETTA SALAD

Steps:

• Steam the new potatoes in their skins. Put aside to cool down.
• While the potatoes cool cook the pancetta until crispy (cook in it's own fat that it releases, no added oil). I use smoked pancetta for a nice flavour but unsmoked is fine. Once crispy add the finely chopped shallots and chives for the last 2 minutes only so they are partly cooked but still with "crunch" not fully softened.
• Peel the potatoes now that they have cooled down then mix with the pancetta, oinon and chives. Leave the mixture to cool fully.
• Mix the mayonnaise, (I use extra light as I like to limit the fat but you can use normal if you prefer) with the extra virgin olive oil, a good shake of cayenne pepper and plenty of ground black pepper to season.
• Fold the potato mixture into the mayo and oil and chill until needed.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water. Generously season the water with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, red onion, celery, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.
• In a small bowl, stir together the white vinegar, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the sugar until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
• While the potatoes are still hot, pour the vinegar mixture over and toss to coat. Let the potatoes sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
• Add ⅓ of the egg mixture to the potatoes, tossing to coat completely. Let sit for another 5 minutes, then toss with another ⅓ of the egg mixture. Just before serving, toss with the remaining egg mixture.
• Enjoy!
