Potato Ode

I have been thinking about my oldest friend a lot recently. She is living in Ireland and I miss her terribly. With her on my mind I thought a potato entry would be a good way to honor her. She says the potatoes run wild on the Emerald Isle. Plus she adores this recipe! I did add a little twist to liven it up just a bit! This one is for you Molly!

red wine vinegar

Dijon mustard

Olive oil

mix all ingredients then whisk in oil to emulsify

1. cut potatoes and asparagus into bite sized pieces

2. Boil potatoes until tender

3. Boil asparagus for a few minutes and immediately put in cold water ( you want it to stay crunchy and bright green)

4. Drain potatoes and let cool to room temperature

5. Chop some fresh parsley and green onions and mix in a bowl with potatoes and asparagus

6. Toss with dressing and serve at room temp! Yum....
