Fennel Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In 3- to 4-quart saucepan, cook sliced potatoes in small amount of boiling water about 10 minutes or until tender; drain well. Meanwhile, cut eggs into eighths.
• In large bowl, mix warm potatoes, eggs, fennel, celery and onion. In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients. Spoon dressing over salad; toss gently. Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until chilled. Garnish with fennel leaves if desired.

Steps:

• For the potatoes and peas: Add 6 cups water, 3 tablespoons of salt, and potatoes to a heavy-bottomed pot. Turn heat to high, partially cover, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, blanch peas: Bring 6 cups of water with 3 tablespoons of salt to a boil. Prepare an ice bath with 1 tablespoon of salt. Add peas to the boiling water and cook until the water comes up to a boil again, 2-3 minutes. Taste to verify that the peas are fully cooked; then strain, place peas into the salted ice bath to halt cooking, and set aside. Check potatoes periodically by piercing the largest one with a fork. They are done when the fork goes all the way through with no resistance. Turn off the heat and let the potatoes sit in their water, 4-5 minutes longer. While potatoes are cooking, prep the rest of the ingredients (Step 2).
• Vinaigrette: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer to dissolve and incorporate all of the ingredients. Remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the fennel by removing the fronds (reserving them for later use) and use a mandoline to slice into thin strips. Add the sliced fennel to a bowl, along with the green onions and warm vinaigrette. Toss to coat and set aside.
• Assembly: Drain the peas and fully cooked potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half and add directly to the fennel while they are still warm; toss so the vinaigrette is absorbed into the potatoes. Roughly chop the fennel fronds (about ¼ cup), and cut the mint and basil into a rough chiffonade (about ¼ cup total); add to the salad. At the last minute, to avoid discoloration, add the peas. Toss again and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, onions, and red-pepper flakes. Cook until onions are golden, about 7 minutes.
• Add stock, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until potatoes and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove potatoes and onions with a slotted spoon. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
• Combine reserved liquid, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour over warm potatoes and onions. Stir in olives, and let cool completely.
• Add fennel and parsley, and combine. Season with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, about 15-20 mins. While they're cooking, remove any tough outer leaves from the fennel and trim the tops, keeping any feathery fronds. Halve lengthways and remove the little hard core from each piece and discard. Cut the fennel into very fine slices using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Put them in a bowl and squeeze over the lemon juice. When the potatoes are tender, drain well and toss with the fennel, olives, extra virgin olive oil, some seasoning and the reserved fronds.
• If the sardines haven't been scaled, remove by hand under running water, then wash out traces of blood from the inside and dry with kitchen paper.
• Heat the grill. Mix the oil with the harissa (see our recipe). Put the sardines on a grill tray covered with foil. Brush them with the harissa oil (on both sides), season with salt and put under a very hot grill and cook for 4-5 mins each side, or until cooked through. Pour over the lemon juice and scatter with the parsley. Serve on the fennel and potato salad with wedges of lemon for squeezing over.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook sliced potatoes in small amount of boiling water until fork tender; drain well. Chop 3 eggs into eighths. Reserve remaining egg for garnish.
• In large bowl, combine warm potatoes, 3 eggs, celery, fennel and onion. In small bowl, combine yogurt, Dijon mustard, chives, white vinegar, sugar and pepper; blend well. Spoon dressing over salad; toss gently. Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until chilled. Just before serving, slice remaining egg. Top salad with egg slices and fennel tops, if desired.

Steps:

• Simmer potatoes in salted cold water to cover by 1 inch in a saucepan until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. When cool enough to handle, cut each potato into eighths.
• While potatoes are cooking, trim fennel stalks flush with bulb, discarding stalks, and chop enough fronds to measure 2 tablespoons. Core bulb and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Whisk together vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add warm potatoes, fennel bulb and fronds, and bell pepper, then toss well. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water and simmer for 15 mins until cooked, then drain. Put the onion and fennel in a bowl, cover with the lemon juice and set aside. Mix half the lemon zest with the mustard, honey and oil. Place the trout, skin-side down, on a baking tray lined with parchment. Brush the mustard glaze over the trout and bake in the oven for 10 mins until just cooked and starting to flake.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them into 1 cm-thick pieces and tip into a large bowl. Mix the remaining lemon zest with the soured cream, dill, parsley and some seasoning. Spoon over the potatoes and stir through. Add the onion and fennel, and mix gently. Sprinkle the reserved fennel fronds over and serve with the trout.
