Roasted Potato Salad 
With Warm Onion Vinaigrette
Serves 4

WARNING! This recipe will take an hour or more! Be prepared!

3lbs of redskin potatoes, cut into 1/2 in cubes
2 cloves of garlic, minced
oil (not olive) for drizzling
salt and pepper
(you can also substitute any seasoned salt you have)

1 Vidalia or two medium regular onions, cut in half and thinly sliced
1 tsp oil (not olive)

1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg yolk
1 tsp spicy brown or whole grain mustard
1 small clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp lemon juice (more or less to taste)
salt and pepper

2 tbsp oil (not olive)

Iceberg lettuce, washed
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled (or more, that's cool, too.)
sunflower seeds


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the potatoes and garlic in oil, just enough to coat them (you can do this right on your sheet pan) generously salt and pepper them and put them in your pre-heated oven.

In a 10-12 inch skillet over medium heat place the tsp of oil until it looks like water when the pan is tilted. Add onions. (The trick to these is to leave them alone- it will go much faster if you don’t stir them too often.)

Keeping an eye on your onions, prepare the dressing. Vigorously whisk the oil and egg yolk together. When those are emulsified, add the mustard, still whisking. When that looks like a smooth emulsion add the rest of the ingredients, making sure to taste and add ingredients as you like.

It’s time to turn your potatoes! Use the stiffest utensil you have, these like to stick.
At this point your onions should be a little more than halfway caramelized.

Prepare your lettuce “bowls” by gently removing layers of lettuce and placing two per person (or whatever seems appropriate) on each plate.

When your onions are fully caramelized place them in a separate dish. There should be a nice layer of brown stuff at the bottom, quickly add the two tbsps of oil and use a rubber spatula to scrape that lovely stuff into the oil. When you can comfortably touch the oil, whisk it into the rest of your dressing. (We don’t want to coagulate the egg yolk.)

The potatoes should be nice and browned now, time to layer!

Layers in order:
Lettuce “bowl”
Potatoes
Onions
Feta Cheese
Sunflower seeds
Dressing

Enjoy! :)
