# Ingredients:

→ Potato Salad

01 - 680g baby potatoes (mini red or baby Dutch yellow)
02 - 450g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and shredded
03 - 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
04 - 2-3 tbsp avocado oil
05 - Kosher salt
06 - Fresh cracked black pepper
07 - 2 cups lacinato kale, stems removed and shredded
08 - 1 1/2 cups edamame, thawed or cooked
09 - 1/4 cup fresh chives, minced

→ Lemon Pepper Dressing

10 - 1 garlic clove, finely grated
11 - 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
12 - 1 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
13 - 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
14 - 1/4 tsp fresh cracked white pepper
15 - 1 tsp Dijon mustard
16 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
17 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt
18 - 2-3 tsp maple syrup
19 - 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or until fork-tender.
03 - Drain potatoes and transfer to a baking sheet. Lightly smash each potato using a fork or flat-bottom measuring cup, leaving space between each. Drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of avocado oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
04 - Bake potatoes on the bottom rack for 20 minutes. Flip and continue baking for 10-15 minutes more until golden and crisp around the edges.
05 - On the second tray, spread Brussels sprouts and shallots. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, and toss to coat evenly. Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
06 - Add shredded kale to the Brussels sprouts tray and toss everything together with tongs. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until kale is wilted.
07 - While vegetables are roasting, combine garlic, vinegar, black and white pepper, chili flakes, mustard, lemon zest and juice, salt, maple syrup, and olive oil in a jar. Whisk or shake vigorously until creamy and emulsified. Adjust seasonings to taste.
08 - Transfer crispy potatoes to the tray with Brussels sprouts and kale. Add edamame, chives, and about one-third of the dressing. Toss until evenly mixed.
09 - Divide salad between bowls and drizzle with additional lemon pepper dressing as desired.

# Notes:

01 - The potatoes should be smashed just enough to create flat surfaces for crisping while maintaining their structure.
02 - For best results, ensure vegetables are spread in a single layer on baking sheets to promote even browning.
