"To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist -- the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar."
-Oscar Wilde, Playwright

The refrigerator light goes on...

I love purple potatoes. They don't taste a whole lot different than other waxy potatoes -- maybe they're a little sweeter. They do make a great addition to the plate, however, with the bright purple flesh against the pink of salmon or shrimp. A great dish to take to a potluck...

This recipe is better the second day and will keep to the third in the fridge.

1 lb purple potatoes (fingerling are best)
spray olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh dill
2 small ribs celery with leaves

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 325°F.

When the oven is hot spray the pan lightly with oil. Add the potatoes and place the pan in the oven. Roast for about 20 - 25 minutes until the potatoes are just tender.

Remove and let cool.

Slice the potatoes about 1/2 inch thick. If using larger potatoes cut in half lengthwise first and then cut into half moon slices.

Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl with the salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dill and diced celery.

Fold together and chill.
