Side Dish

Serves

3 to 4

10 small red potatoes, scrubbed thoroughly, skins left on

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar or Champagne vinegar

1/4 cup chile-infused oil

2 tablespoons fresh dill or 1 tablespoon of dried dill

3/4 cup chopped shallots

2 serrano or jalapeño chiles, stems removed, sliced into thin rings

Salt and pepper to taste

Methods/steps

Place the potatoes in a large Dutch-style oven and cover with water. Bring the pot to a boil and then turn it down to a low boil. Cook the potatoes, uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, testing them by inserting a sharp knife through the center of the potato. The potatoes should just start to yield to the knife. Do not overcook. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl.

Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into halves (if they are small) or in quarters (if they are large.) Sprinkle the vinegar over the top of the potatoes and then sprinkle them with the chile oil. Toss gently. Add the dill, the shallots, the pepper rings, the salt and pepper, and toss gently. Serve warm.

Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Mashed Potatoes

These potatoes are very high in flavor and lower in fat than the traditional ones. I sometimes leave the skins on the potatoes for extra taste.
