Very good looking potatoes. Not conventional roasties - seems like they are partially poached in the broth at the same time as being roasted. What is in the Italian dressing? And what is it that looks red on top of the scallops?

Lot's of great questions...

In the US, they sell countless varieties of bottled Italian dressing. The intent of the recipe is to allow the cook to choose whatever dressing they have on hand. Generally speaking, bottled Italian Dressing is Olive oil, White vinegar, garlic, onion, and oregano.

The redness on top of the scallops is a result of poor lighting and rushed photography. The bag of frozen bay scallops were inferior quality too.
