Ingredients:

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds baby, new, or petite potatoes (I used petite gold)
  • 8 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano (dont use dried ~ substitute fresh dill, rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
  • salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp prepared mustard
  • 1 small clove of garlic, finely minced
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • several good grindings of black pepper

Directions:

  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water until they are just tender, and easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife
  • Drain and cut into bite sized pieces, in quarters or in half, depending on the size of your potatoes
  • While the potatoes are cooking make the dressing
  • Put all the ingredients in a small jar or measuring cup and blend with a stick blender until bright yellow and creamy (emulsified)
  • Be sure to taste it now to see if you need more salt, more lemon, or whatever
  • While the potatoes are hot, dress them in several tablespoons of the dressing, gently tossing to make sure they all get coated
  • Let cool, then cover and refrigerate until cold.
  • When the potatoes are chilled, add the green onions and fresh oregano
  • Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • Toss with more dressing and serve
