Jamie's Potato Salad

Photobucket

I tried this a while back and loved it. Such a fresh fresh salad. And simple. This is in Jamie's "Jamie at Home" cookbook. I changed it just a little bit ...

Boil a couple of potatoes til just cooked. I was serving four so I imagine I did four potatoes and one for the pot ! I didn't bother peeling them.

Mix the zest of one lemon and 1/2 of it's juice with a splash of vinegar. He suggested red wine but I used cider vinegar ... or maybe I used rice wine vinegar. I can't remember now. It won't matter. Just use a splash of the vinegar of your choice ! Add three splashes of olive oil. Taste it. Need more ? Add it. Add 2 tablespoons capers and salt/pepper to taste.

Pour the dressing onto the potatoes, toss to coat and top with a small bunch of fresh dill or fennel tops ...

But where's the mayo?!?! My psyche rebels against potato chunks not covered in mayonaise when it is called potato salad...I know, I shall nickname this potatoes vinagrette! Mmmmmm, sounds delicious!

Has anyone ever told you that you have a very rebellious psyche ?? :)

True, but she creatively outsmarts the rebellious psyche by renaming this delicacy. I agree, it would go well with grilled steaks!
