Macadamia nuts are native to Australia and Hawaii. Roasted, they have a delicious nutty flavour with a creamy but crunchy texture. Almonds or cashews are good substitutes. Australian macadamia oil is available at gourmet food shops.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
  • 2 lb fingerling potatoes or baby potatoes, scrubbed (about 15)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp macadamia oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cups baby arugula leaves

Preparation

In small skillet, toast macadamia nuts over medium-low heat until golden, about 5 minutes; coarsely chop. Set aside.

In large pot of boiling salted water, cover and cook potatoes until tender but firm, about 20 minutes. Drain and quarter lengthwise. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.) Toss with vegetable oil and half each of the salt and pepper. Place on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; roast in 450°F (230°C) oven, turning once, until crispy and golden, about 25 minutes. Arrange around edge of platter.

In bowl, whisk together macadamia oil, lemon juice and remaining salt and pepper; drizzle about 1 tbsp (15 mL) over potatoes. Add arugula to remaining dressing and toss to coat; arrange in centre of potatoes. Sprinkle with macadamia nuts.
