Even you Sheldon! Trust me you'll like it. And sorry, low carbers. You
can't have it. But you might be able to do what I did and increase the
amount of low carb stuff in it. Anyway... This is the basic recipe:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Roasted...r_results_p1i1

I took suggestions from the others and coated the potato pieces with Dijon,
salt and pepper in addition to the olive oil. I didn't use much oil. Just
enough to help keep them from sticking as I didn't want an oily end result.
And in roasting them like this, they didn't get a super crispy exterior but
they did remain nicely firm.

I also use a full rib of celery, a full bunch of green onions, red bell
pepper instead of green, added a goodly handful of parsley, chopped and
increased the amount of bacon. I think I used 10 slices but didn't really
count. Just grabbed what was left in the freezer bag. I also used the Just
Mayo that sf recommended. I also left out the eggs as I can't have them but
plan to serve portions to others with chopped boiled egg as a garnish so
they can mix them in if they wish.

The end result is so very, very good and they say that it only gets better
as it sits. Now it is not at all like your typical deli type potato salad
in terms of flavor. It is just damned good! And because I put so much
bacon in it, I think it would eat like a meal. It is rather dense and
heavy. I think I would serve this with some light, cold accompaniments like
sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. I also think some green beans would be
wonderful in this salad but I know I would stand alone in that, at least in
this house so I won't go there.

Odd thing is, it is a cold salad which you want to eat when it is hot out
but the last thing you'd want to do is roast on a hot day. Not sure how to
solve that one. I plan to let the flavors meld and serve it on Sun. unless
someone gets to it first. Of course our hot weather is no longer but it
will still be nice.

This is similar to Melba's Jammin' steakhouse potato salad but no eggs in hers. Her recipe is all I make now when I want 'tater salad.

Okay then but I'll bet there is probably some sort of mayo you could eat.

This is what I used:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Mayo

Unless of course it is a textural thing which I fully understand!

If they're they green beans I'm thinking of, I'm not very partial to
them myself, although I can still eat them. I do like the idea behind
this recipe though and will try it some day.

Something like this is okay for roasting on hot days:

Are you thinking of green/french/runner type beans? If so, I am with you on
them. To make them palatable, I toss in butter and a little very good
balsamic vinegar. It makes a big difference - to me.

Never fancied one of those. I see the heat comes only from the top? Is
that right? It is also a very large bit of kit for what it is.

I have this one, but I think I've used it maybe twice. It just seems unhandy
to use to me, but I might try it on the patio this summer when it gets
really hot.

Yes, I can see it might be useful outside! Hope it works out well for you.

Please see a psychatrist, Bryan. You are mentally ill, or "disturbed"
or whatever we call it these days. You need therapy. It is not healthy

Yes, I think so. I'm thinking of these guys:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_bean
They are more commonly found in Aus as either frozen or tinned,
although in some areas they can be found fresh.

Thanks! I'll try that one day whenever I can get my hands on some
again.

I never used one myself to be honest, but a g/f of mine did have one
(not the same brand) and used it a *lot*. I must say the roasts did
come out quite good - both meat and veggies. If you didn't have an
oven, one of these would be a viable alternative for small roasts etc.
I have no real need for one myself, I just thought it would be a
solution to baking/roasting in hot weather.

It's one of those turbo things. Convection. Where do you store a
bulky item like that? My BIL had something similar, bragged all the
time about using it and then he didn't. No idea if it broke, wore out
or if he finally decided it was too much effort. I think about asking
every now and then, but never when I'm actually talking to him.

That's the one.

>Where do you store a bulky item like that?

You don't. You leave it on the bench. And if you have to store it,
that means you're not using it often enough and probably don't need
one to begin with.

I don't have a problem with storage, it's just more trouble than the Nu-Wave
which I use often.

Yes, I have heard those are good but I have a small kitchen and insufficient
storage space for one. Whoever designed my kitchen wasn't a cook!

Hmmm... I'm a picky eater and I don't think I've ever had green beans that
I didn't like unless they were mixed with ham. It's the ham that I don't
like and even a little in there seems to make them greasy. I do like them
with bacon though. Don't think I have had them with balsamic but probably
wouldn't like them that way as I am not a vinegar lover. Back when I used
to eat Caprese/Caprice...whatever you want to call it...fresh mozzarella,
tomatoes and basil, I liked it all except for the balsamic part.

Then again, maybe I did have them that way. I had a green bean salad at the
Rustic Inn on Staten Island and loved it except that it was far too much
food. And for some reason it was served in a giant puff pasty cone. I
didn't really get that part at all. It had been listed as the appetizer
special and perhaps it was meant for the enitre table? There surely was
enough food for the three of us and the next two tables over as well! That
may have had balsamic in it but it was so many years ago, I don't remember.
It was also the first meal we had ordered on Staten Island. We learned well
from that meal. Staten Island portions are HUGE! We wound up ordering so
much stuff that we couldn't even make a dent in it. And we couldn't take
the leftovers home, partly because our household goods hadn't arrive. No
way to reheat and no dishes in the house. I also think we were not going
straight home which would explain why I didn't take the cold foods like the
salad. So... I only ate a small amount of the green bean salad because we
had so many other things on the table to try.

I think it would be best suited to someone without a full kitchen but... If
you don't have a full kitchen, you usually don't have a lot of space either.

Er, OK - so what's the matter with the above statements the heifer's
written??? It doesn't like green beans unless they're mixed with ham -
AND ---- oooh, wait for it!!!!! - It doesn't like
green-beans-with-ham!!!!! Er, how's that for an illogical contradiction?!

Doesn't like beans but ordered those anyway at a restaurant - Gimme a
break !!! Ohh - the drama! - give me a TV soap-opera any day of the
week even though I do not watch those types of shows - don't need to
with bovine's ceaseless comedy here - that's plenty of entertainment here.

Sky,

who - like some others here - finds the humor and entertainment of the

OK - I may have read its statement incorrectly and got backwards. When
it said "I've never had green beans that I didn't like" - perhaps it
meant it liked green beans after all. It'd've been much easier to
understand that one "likes green beans except when mixed with ham".
Such convultions!

I don't think frozen makes any difference although fresh ones are always
found in the supermarkets here. I mentioned I have been sowing veg and I
have some plants growing. They are not my favourite as I indicated, but I
think it is important to get as many fresh veg inside us as I can. I
dislike cauliflower too, but I doctor those veg up to make them edible, and

it would be good.

You are wasting your time. I guess you think you are a superior being,
looking down your long nose at all the inferior beings posting here. Not in
my book. You disgust me.

I love mine, have had one for several years, so easy to use, so easy to
clean, and great results. The domes can be a problem with small cracks
though.

It is on a stand next to my microwave cabinet. It's very convenient for me.

Excellent) Not something I've ever come across before. How often do you
use it?

Try roasting the cauliflower with a little EVOO and some garlic. Tastes
like a whole nother vegetable.

I absolutely adore roasted cauliflower! I just brush it lightly with
oil, no garlic in this instance, sprinkle lightly with salt and roast
it. Yummm!

I did once roast an entire head of cauliflower. Cut off the thick outer
green stalks. I creamed butter in a bowl with breadcrumbs seasoned with
herbs until I had a sort of paste. Sorry, I don't remember the herbs
(thyme, most likely) but there was minced garlic in the mix. I patted
this mixture all over the head of cauliflower. Roasted/baked it for
about an hour, probably at 375F. It was absolutely delicious.

Then again, I like cauliflower.
