# Ingredients:

→ Potato Salad

01 - 680g baby potatoes (mini red or baby Dutch yellow)
02 - 450g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and shredded
03 - 1 large shallot, 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 minced chives

→ Dressing

10 - 1 garlic clove, 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 - Zest and juice of 1 lemon
17 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt
18 - 2-3 tsp maple syrup
19 - 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

# Steps:

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

# Notes:

01 - Use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts or swap them with shredded cabbage to save time on chopping.
02 - Adjust the amount of pepper to fit your taste. You can also adjust the dressing after it's been mixed with more vinegar, sweetener, or salt.
03 - Spread vegetables out on the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Use a large sheet pan so vegetables can roast evenly.
