I'm sharing a recipe from food blogger Faith Durand, whom you may know from her site, The Kitchn. Your kids devoured this no-mayonnaise version of 'tater salad. They especially liked chopping up the fresh dill, and zesting the lemon. I believe we added fresh chives, too.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 ounces fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • S & P

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling. Add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain, then cut each potato in half and put in a large bowl. (Note: if you put the dressing over the potatoes while they’re still warm, they absorb more flavor.)
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and zest, olive oil, and sugar until well combined. Pour over the potatoes and stir gently until coated.
  3. Add spinach, dill, and shallots to the potatoes and toss gently. Season with freshly ground salt & pepper.
