Perfectly roasted potatoes with tart sun dried tomatoes and finished off with freshly grated parmesan or Romano cheese. Finally tossed with Arugula for that peppery bite and a drizzle of good Balsamic vinegar.
Place the potatoes in an oven safe dish, add 1/3 cup of the sun dried tomatoes in oil. If the tomatoes are whole, chop them into smaller pieces and return to the potatoes. Add a pinch of kosher salt and toss well. Feel free to adjust the amount of tomatoes and oil to completely cover potatoes. You can also add a small amount of olive oil to ensure potatoes are completely coated.
Roast potatoes for about 30 minutes. Mid way through the roasting process, check to see if you need to turn any of the potatoes.
Remove and allow to cool. Once cooled, transfer potato and tomatoes to a shallow bowl and toss with Arugula, some Balsamic Vinegar, grated parmesan or Romano cheese. If the greens look a little dry, add a small amount of olive oil and toss again. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
NOTE: The tomatoes become more tart when roasted, this is why I suggest using Balsamic Vinegar to balance out the tartness. It compliments the mixture well as does the sharpness of the cheese.
Serve at room temperature alongside your favorite protein.
Grill method
Preheat grill to medium heat. For this recipe, take 2 pieces of foil large enough for the potatoes. Toss potatoes with olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper. (You will not add the tomatoes in this step if you use this method.)
Create a packet with the foil ensuring it is tightly sealed. Place on preheated grill (medium heat) and "grill" for about 20 minutes. They should be fork tender when done.
Remove from grill and allow to cool. Remove from foil and place potatoes in a shallow bowl.
Toss with sun dried tomatoes, greens, cheese and Balsamic vinegar. You may need to add a little olive to the greens as well.
