Crisp roasted fingerling potatoes
Makes 6 servings
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 32 to 40 minutes, plus cooling time
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds fingerling potatoes, unpeeled, halved lengthwise (about 3 inches long)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Place rimmed baking sheet on rack and heat to 500 degrees. Bring 2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan. Add potatoes, salt and baking soda, return to simmer, and cook 7 to 10 minutes or until tender but centers offer slight resistance when pierced with paring knife. Drain in colander and shake vigorously to roughen edges.
Transfer to large platter lined with kitchen towel and arrange cut side up. Let sit about 5 minutes until no longer steaming and surface is tacky. Transfer potatoes to bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and pepper. Working quickly, transfer pan from oven and drizzle remaining oil over surface. Arrange potatoes cut side down for 20 to 25 minutes until crisp and spotty brown, rotating halfway through roasting. Flip for 5 minutes and cool.

Blueberry and citrus sorbet ‘layer cake’
Makes 8 servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes; freezing time: 2 hours to overnight
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons blueberry preserves or jam, divided
1 pint orange sorbet, slightly softened
1 pint lemon or other citrus sorbet, slightly softened
1 cup fresh blueberries
Line the bottom and sides of an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with a double layer of waxed paper, folding the paper to fit smoothly. In a small bowl, mix together walnuts and 1/4 cup preserves; set aside. Spoon orange sorbet into the lined pan, smoothing the top to make an even layer. Spread the walnut-preserves mixture evenly over sorbet. Spoon lemon sorbet evenly over preserves and smooth the top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Freeze several hours to overnight.
Just before serving, in a medium bowl, stir remaining 2 tablespoons preserves until smooth; fold in fresh blueberries. Invert the cake on a chilled serving plate. Remove the pan and paper; spoon about 1/4 of the blueberry mixture down the center of the cake. Cut into 8 1-inch slices. Serve on chilled dessert plates; top each slice with a spoonful of the remaining fresh berry mixture. Serve immediately.
