    List of Ingredients




    Roasted Garlic Potato Salad from David


    2 large heads garlic
    3 pounds medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 teaspoon salt, divided
    1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
    1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
    1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Freshly ground pepper to taste
    4 hard-boiled eggs , peeled
    1 cup chopped celery
    3/4 cup chopped olives
    1 4-ounce jar sliced pimientos, rinsed
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallion greens, plus more for garnish Paprika for garnish

    Recipe





    Preheat the oven to 400°F.


    Rub off excess papery skin from the garlic heads without separating cloves. Slice the tips off each head, exposing the cloves. Place garlic heads on a square of aluminum foil, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon water and pinch edges of foil together to make a package.


    Roast until garlic flesh is very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Unwrap garlic and let cool slightly.


    Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Cook, covered, over medium heat until potatoes are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain well; transfer to a large bowl. Toss gently with the vinegar and let cool.


    When garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the pulp into a food processor or blender.


    Add mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; blend until smooth.


    Add the dressing to the potatoes and toss to coat. Finely chop 3 eggs and add to the potatoes along with the celery, olives, pimientos, parsley and chopped chives (or scallion greens). Stir gently to mix. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.


    Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the paprika. Slice the remaining egg and arrange the slices decoratively on top. Garnish with more chives and/or parsley sprigs.


    Makes 10 servings, 1 cup each
