A colorful combination of red, white, and blue potatoes, this tangy potato salad is a must-make for any summer soiree.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound red new potatoes

1/2 pound whites potatoes

1/2 pound blue potatoes

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Scrub all potatoes thoroughly and cut into quarters. In a medium bowl toss potatoes with a generous amount of olive oil. Spread potatoes over a baking sheet or roasting pan in a single layer and roast for 15 to 20 minute, or until slightly golden. Potatoes should not be too crunchy or too soft, so be sure to shuffle them around every now and again for nice even roasting.

Meanwhile in a large bowl whisk together Dijon and white wine vinegar until well combined; season mixture with salt and pepper. Toss warm potatoes in dressing, completely coating, sprinkle parsley over top and continue to toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.
