Ingredients

1 pound small fingerling potatoes, unpeeled
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups bite-size pieces frisée leaves (about 2 large heads)
4 cups bite-size pieces dandelion greens, tough center ribs and stems discarded
1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
12 ounces thick slices applewood-smoked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup sliced shallots

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Arrange potatoes in roasting pan; cover pan with foil. Roast until tender when pierced with fork, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toss frisée, dandelion leaves, and parsley in large bowl. Whisk vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in small bowl to blend.

    Step 3

    Sauté bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add shallots and potatoes to skillet and sauté 2 minutes. Add vinegar mixture and swirl pan until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour bacon mixture over greens; toss to coat and serve.
