Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes with the capers and chopped dill.
Pour the vinaigrette over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly, being careful not to break the potatoes.
Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
