Red potatoes not only add a vibrant pop of colour to this classic side dish, they also hold their shape better than other potato varieties so leftovers will be equally fantastic.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 kg baby red-skinned potatoes

  • 1/2 cup red-wine vinegar

  • 1/2 cup grainy Dijon mustard

  • 2 shallots, finely chopped

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 cup finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and cook until tender, 17 to 20 min. Drain. When cool enough to handle, cut in half and place in a very large bowl.

  • Whisk vinegar with Dijon, shallots and salt. Whisk in oil. Add half of this vinaigrette to warm potatoes. Stir to coat.

  • Cool potatoes to room temperature. Just before serving, stir in remaining vinaigrette and parsley.

Kitchen Tip:

We found that grainy mustards made in France have a more classic Dijon flavour.
