Ingredients
- 2-1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes cleaned and cut in half lengthwise
- 1 cup Thinly sliced red onion (about 1/2 medium)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard *
- 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 small shallot , finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 large garlic clove , minced
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brined capers , drained
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
- 1 -1/2 cups baby arugula leaves , lightly packed
- Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place cut fingerling potatoes in a large pot with a generous pinch of kosher salt and fill with enough water to cover by at least 1-inch. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 8-10 minutes, depending on size. Drain into a colander and let cool slightly.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, shallot, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. While whisking, pour the olive oil into the mixture in a steady stream until emulsified. Stir in the capers and herbs and season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add sliced red onion and warm, drained potatoes to the vinaigrette and gently toss to coat. Loosely cover the potato salad and let it stand for 15-20 minutes so the potatoes can absorb some of the vinaigrette and the flavors can meld.
- Just before serving, fold in baby arugula leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Salad is best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- *You can use all smooth Dijon mustard, or use 1/2 tablespoon Dijon and 1/2 tablespoon whole grain mustard to add additional texture to the vinaigrette.
