📝 Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs new potatoes, ((baby potatoes))
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil, (extra virgin)
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, (plus more for garnish)
• 1 tbsp capers, (optional)
• 1 tbsp grainy mustard
• 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp pickled shallots

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook potatoes: In a medium pot, cover potatoes with water. Add salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Check frequently to avoid overcooking. Potatoes should be cooked, but firm.
2. 2Prepare dressing: While potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small jar or measuring cup, combine the olive oil, fresh snipped chives, capers, mustard, and salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
3. 3Drain and cool potatoes: Drain the potatoes. Rinse gently with cold water. You can leave the skins on if you'd like, or remove them. They will slip off fairly easily. Cool slightly.
4. 4Toss and garnish: Transfer to a bowl, toss gently with the dressing and sprinkle with pickled shallots. Add more salt if necessary. Garnish with extra fresh chives. Chill until serving time. Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
