Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g Baby potatoes
- 60 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
- 15 ml Red wine vinegar
- 10 g Dijon mustard
- 1 unit Garlic clove (minced)
- 20 g Capers (rinsed and drained)
- 50 g Sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 5 g Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 10 g Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 5 g Salt
- 3 g Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot.
Fill the pot with water, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the capers, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped rosemary, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of extra parsley or rosemary, if desired.
Serve the potato salad warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
