Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs medium yellow potatoes about 8, well washed
  • Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • In a 6- to 8-quart pot, combine the potatoes and enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Add 1 tablespoon salt, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until tender enough to be easily pierced with a metal skewer, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, lemon juice and zest, mustard, honey and a pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in the 1/2 cup olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Without draining it, transfer the pot to the sink. Slowly cool the potatoes by running cold water into the pot; it will take about 7 minutes. (Cooling them this way creates a dense texture so you can flatten the potatoes without breaking them.) Drain and pat dry the potatoes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Brush the foil with olive oil. Transfer the potatoes onto the prepared pan. Using the bottom of a bowl, flatten the potatoes to about 1/2 inch thick. Brush top of each potato with olive oil.
  • Roast for 40 minutes or until brown and crispy.
  • Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with oregano.
  • Serve and enjoy!
