- 2 pounds BC new nugget potatoes
- 2 heaping tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon flavoured vinegar
- ½ teaspoons fresh lemon zest
- 1 heaping tablespoon capers, drained and blotted dry
- 2/3 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fleur de sel or Maldon salt
- Good grinding of fresh pepper
- 1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
How to do it
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until cooked, do not over cook or they become water logged. A knife should easily pierce through to indicate doneness.
- While the potatoes are cooking, place the mustard, vinegar and zest in a bowl.
- Whisk together, slowly pour in the oil, whisking the entire time until the dressing binds together.
- Add the salt, pepper and capers. Stir, taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are done, drain immediately, transfer to your serving bowl and pour the dressing over the hot potatoes, stir to combine, the dressing will be absorbed into the potatoes.
- Add the chopped parsley and serve.
Serves 4-6
