Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add shredded Swiss in small, 2-inch piles to the hot skillet. When the cheese fries to a light golden color at the edges, about 1 minute, and can be moved with a thin spatula, turn the cheese rounds, cook another 15 seconds, then remove rounds from the skillet and transfer rounds to a work surface to cool. The cheese crisps will cool within a minute or so. Repeat to form 12 to 16 crisps, 3 or 4 per salad. Crisps may also be flavored with cracked black pepper and chopped thyme or other herbs.

SARASOTA'S HAM AND SWISS CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Salad -- Just rough chop the lettuce, add the ham, swiss cheese, whole olives and Durkee onions (more or less depending on what you like. I save some for the top as well as a garnish. Now if you can't find the Durkee fried onions, just use a regular white onion. I just like the crunch the Durkee onions gives the salad. I like to lightly season with salt and pepper and then drizzle your favorite dressing over the top and toss well. I like to serve it with Recipe #413903. The creamy mustard dressing goes perfect with this. You can also use a ranch dressing or your favorite vinaigrette.
• It is a simple classic recipe, but I absolutely love it. And feel free to add more or less ingredients as needed. ENJOY!

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard and white wine vinegar, then slowly whisk in olive oil in a thin stream. Blend the mixture until smooth.
• Boil potatoes in water with garlic sausage until the potatoes are slightly crunchy at the center. While the potatoes are cooking, boil chicken stock and white wine until it is reduced to a scant 1/2 cup. Remove potatoes from water, drain, and while they are still warm, cut them into 1/8-inch- thick slices. Arrange slices on a platter, season with salt and pepper, pour the reduction over the potatoes, then turn the potatoes over and repeat the process. Allow the potatoes to absorb the reduction for 5 minutes. Cut the garlic sausage into thin rounds, and then alternate slices of potato with slices of garlic sausage for presentation.
• For the garnish: Combine tarragon, chives, parsley and Swiss cheese bits. Sprinkle this on the potatoes and sausage first, then drizzle the vinaigrette on top.
• For an alternate presentation, the potatoes and sausage can also be placed in a bowl on top of greens, then topped with the garnish and the vinaigrette.
