Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small potatoes yukon gold
  • 1 red bell pepper roasted or charred with the broiler
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • chives chopped for garnish
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • grated Parmesan for garnish
  • olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 dried red chili
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 can 14 oz whole tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Boil and Smash the Potatoes

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until just fork tender. Drain and cool slightly. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Smash each gently with the bottom of a glass. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once if extra crispy edges are your thing.

Make the Salsa Rossa

  • In a skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic, tomato paste, chili flakes, dried red chili paprika, and chopped red pepper. Make sure your pepper was roasted with char on the outside. Cook for 1 minutes, then add canned tomatoes. Simmer 15-20 minutes until thick. Let cool. Remove the red chili. Blend until smooth.

Make the Salsa Bianca

  • In a bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, lemon juice and 1 clove of grated garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.

Assemble

  • Smother the bottom of your serving dish with warm Salsa Rossa. Layer potatoes on top. Drizzle with dollops of Salsa Bianca. Finish with chives and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
