Ingredients
- 3 pounds of russet potatoes
- 5 Tablespoons of olive oil or canola oil
- 1 Tablespoon of dijon or spicy brown mustard
- 1 large lemon Zest and juice
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ground pepper few dashes freshly ground
- 2 cups artichoke hearts canned, drained and roughly chopped
- 2/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes dry-packed, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Peel potatoes and cut into roughly 1-inch pieces. Place in a large pot, cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- While potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
- Once potatoes are tender, drain thoroughly and toss, while still hot, with the dressing. Add chopped artichoke hearts and dried tomatoes and combine. Allow to cool to room temperature and check for seasoning. Add more salt and/or pepper to taste, and serve.
Notes
- Cut evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes into the same thickness.
- Don't overcook potatoes: Pierce the potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. If the fork goes through with little effort, then they are good to go. Do not overcook, or you will end up with a mushy salad.
- Dry the cooked potatoes: Make sure your potatoes are completely dry before you mix the other ingredients. You can use paper towels to pat them dry quickly. This keeps your salad from being too watery.
