Sundried Tomato Potato Salad

INGREDIENTS

2 lbs new, small, or fingerling potatoes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 - 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
1/4 cup black olives, chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
Chile powder, sea salt, and ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Scrub potatoes and steam with skins on for about 20-25 minutes, until a knife slides in easily. When draining the potatoes, reserve some of the cooking water for the vinaigrette.

Meanwhile, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, and one tablespoon of reserved potato water.

Cut warm potatoes into quarters and toss with sundried tomatoes, olives, and vinaigrette. Adjust seasoning, adding more chile powder, salt, pepper, vinegar, or potato water as needed. Top with basil and cheese, if using.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
