1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (1 large)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Step 2

    While potatoes are cooking, whisk together mustard, vinegar, capers, salt, pepper, and shallot. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

    Step 3

    Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. Break up warm potatoes into smaller chunks with a spoon and stir in vinaigrette and parsley. Serve potatoes warm.
