CSA Cookoff: Sleeper Grilled Potatoes

CSA COOKOFF: WHAT CAME IN LAST WEEK’S FARM SHARE & HOW WE USED IT
Hearty thanks to World Peas, the food hub that feeds me and hundreds of other New Englanders weekly. Keep on growing!

1. Kale: This guy anchored a massaged kale salad with peaches and goat cheese.

2. Hot peppers: Went into a salsa with tomatillos from the prior week’s share.

3. Carrots: Saved these to make a soup with the leeks that arrived in my latest share.

4. Heirloom tomatoes: Breakfast sandwiches.

5. Potatoes: See this week’s featured recipe, below.

6. Bell peppers: Added crunch to shrimp and corn enchiladas topped with the salsa from number 2.

7. Sweet corn: See number 6.

8. Peaches: Peach, goat cheese, and basil pizza. An experiment I would make again, adding caramelized onions and walnuts.

THIS WEEK’S RECIPE:
SLEEPER GRILLED POTATOES
These don’t look like much, but that’s their genius. Underpromise, overdeliver. I’d call this the best use of taters in a side dish that I’ve had in forever—or maybe even just ever. My partner-in-cooking whipped these up one night this past week for dinner alongside fish tacos. I took one bite, put down my plate, and took a picture. They’re that good, not to mention ridiculously easy, especially if you leave the work to someone else!

Serves 2
» 3 to 4 medium potatoes
» 3 to 4 Tbsp olive oil
» 3 Tbsp lemon juice
» 1 tsp cumin
» ½ tsp cayenne
» salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the grill. Thinly slice the potatoes then toss them in a bowl with all of the other ingredients. Grill until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Happy farm sharing!
