Pesto Potato Salad with Peas and Sopressata

This potato salad is inspired by the traditional Ligurian pasta dish, Trennete with pesto, potatoes, and green beans. While they both boast potatoes and pesto, that’s where they part. Our potato salad is studded with salami, fresh peas, and chives. You probably aren’t going to be having a picnic on the banks in Genoa this afternoon, but this salad could make you feel like you are.

Garlicky Almond & Potato Skordalia

If hummus is too humdrum for your crudité platter, veer off course a little and try skordalia. Skordalia is both a condiment and a dip in Greek cuisine. It’s usually served as a condiment with fried fish or veggies, or as a dip with pita. It combines the comfort of mashed potatoes with the nuttiness of toasted almonds, the tang of lemon, and the bite of garlic. It can be served once it cools to room temp, but the flavors meld so much nicer the following day. Disclaimer: Do not plan on kissing anyone after eating this. Unless they love garlic as much as you, it will not go well. You’ve been warned.

Ham and potatoes go together like Pooh and Piglet. They can manage quite well on their own, but when they’re teamed up, they rule the world.

Coppa and Cabbage Potato Bites

These festive hors d’oeuvres are an Italian-Irish take on classic cured meat and cabbage. We just sub in Coppa for the traditional corned beef. It’s deliciously cute and satisfyingly messy. Keep plenty of napkins nearby while you gobble these up.

Leek and Potato Soup with Frizzled Coppa

Nothing humble about this soup, though it begins modestly enough with onions and potatoes, the humblest members of the veg kingdom. First, we coax deep flavor from the tops of the leeks for the stock. Then we transform cold, hard potatoes into a velvety, buttery puree. Cream is optional, but the frizzled Coppa is not. Enjoy this soup warm on a cool spring day, or serve it chilled as the weather warms. Just call it vichyssoise.
