last night i was craving a potato with sea salt and balsamic dressing. not sure why, but regardless we had those supplies in the house so i was ready to make it happen. as i was standing in the kitchen, i must have looked lost or confused bc my husband came in to check on me. he recommended that i try elaborating on my "topping" of salt and balsamic. he said i should mix olive oil, balsamic, garlic, jalapeño, salt and pepper. what a genius he is!! that sounded incredibly delicious so i began by getting out the mini food processor.
next i added:
2 swirls around of olive oil (way to much, you should only add a cap full)
1 garlic clove
1/2 a large jalapeño
couple grinds of sea salt
couple grinds of pepper
2 swirls around of balsamic
i grinded that in the food processor while i was waiting for my little red potato to cook in a pot of boiling water.
potatoes take a lot longer than i realized to cook. this was a smaller red potato and i had it in the boiling water for like 20 mins. during that time i came very close to finishing a wedge of brie cheese and a sleeve of whole wheat water crackers. so i finally got tired of waiting for the potato to cook and just took it out, cut it into some wedges and added the mixture, which i am naming Brennan's Balsamic delight.
aside from a few hiccups it was delicious - it definitely has great potential and i plan on perfecting it tonight and posting about it tomorrow. the pic is not appetizing, i know but i promise that it was delicious - the jalapeño was so strong my lips were numb and the balsamic is just down right delicious.
