Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 large Shallot
- 2 tbsp Capers
- 3 tbsp Pine nuts
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on, and place them in a pot of salted water.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, finely dice the shallot and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.
In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. Slice them in half or quarters, depending on size.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and gently toss them in the dressing until fully coated.
Mix in the diced shallot, capers, and toasted pine nuts. Toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and give it a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the salad warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
