Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Red Potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar start with 1/8 cup
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 4 Green Onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup Dill chopped
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot add the red potatoes. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool completely. When the potatoes are cool, cut in half.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar and dijon mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. *See notes if the dressing is too bitter and there is too much red wine vinegar.

  3. Add the potatoes to the dressing and mix together. Add the onions, parsley and dill and mix some more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Start slow on the red wine vinegar. It can be overpowering. Cut it in half to start then if it needs it, add the rest. If you add too much, add a little sugar to cut the bitter taste.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge. This is even better once it's cooled down.
  • The original recipe from the NY Times used scallions instead of green onions. You can also use celery or other fresh ingredients to take it to the next level.
