Ingredients

2 pounds fingerling potatoes, or small new potatoes, scrubbed and halved

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves

1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup dry vermouth

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Place potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil and add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Lower the heat to a simmer and let simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 6-8 minutes.

While potatoes are cooking, prepare the herb vinaigrette. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, thyme, oregano, mustard, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Place the sliced red onions in the bowl with the vinaigrette. This will quickly "pickle" the red onion slices.

Strain potatoes from the water and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle on the vermouth and toss to coat. Let the potatoes sit for one minute to soak up the vermouth.

Gently toss the potatoes with the onions, parsley, and the herb vinaigrette. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve slightly warm, room temperature, or chilled.
