Game Day Entertaining
SEC Championship Game
December 2, 2017
Georgia vs Auburn
Bourbon & The Path To Sweet Victory
Potato salad is one of those sides dishes that can be prepared & loved a thousand times over & it’s just as tasty with each new rendition. When Crispy Oven Roasted New Potatoes serve as the base, it’s only fitting to toss them with a homemade dressing. Bourbon-Mustard Vinaigrette starts with many pantry staples but looks to the liquor cabinet to send this dish to the edge. Once dressed, the potatoes can be served at room temperature of chilled. Accompany with Smokin’ Sweet Bourbon-Mustard Ribs, grilled chicken, steak or pork tenderloin for a meal equally worthy of a lovely weeknight family meal or one fit for an exciting SEC Championship Game match up.

Crispy Oven Roasted New Potatoes
makes 8 servings
The Basic Fundamentals
Use a small offset palate knife to loosen the potatoes from the pan after baking.
3 lbs petite new potatoes
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the new potatoes in half. Toss the potatoes with a 1/4 cup of the oil & the salt in a large bowl. Brush the remaining oil generously onto a half sheet pan. Pour the potatoes onto the pan & position them cut side down. Bake about 1 hour or until the cut sides are golden brown. The oil will be sizzling on the sheet pan surface. Remove the potatoes from the oven & gently loosen with a small palate knife. Season with the pepper.
The Extra Point
Dip the potatoes in aioli or a spicy ketchup & serve with grilled steaks or pub-style cheeseburgers.
