Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl toss potatoes and shallots with olive oil and salt and pepper.
Place potatoes and shallots on baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast potatoes until they are tender when cut with a fork and nicely browned, about 45 to 50 minutes.
While potatoes are roasting, whisk lemon juice, garlic and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Slowly add olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Whisk in tarragon and sea salt and black pepper.
Add hot potatoes to a bowl and toss with some dressing until well coated.
Cover and let sit at room temperature for a few hours. If you’re making it more than a few hours in advance, refrigerate it and bring it out an hour before serving.
Just before serving add capers and a bit more dressing, if needed.
Notes
* Use fresh basil or rosemary in place of tarragon. * You may have extra dressing – use it as a dressing for a green salad. * Dressing keeps for a few weeks in the refrigerator. * Recipe can easily be doubled.
