Preparation
Step 1
Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until crisp tender, about 7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook! Drain potatoes and set aside to cool. Once cool, toss with the dill, capers, and green onions.
Prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients and whisking until smooth and well-combined. For the best consistency, use an immersion blender or food processor. If the dressing is too thick add a little more oil or a tablespoon of water. Taste test and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
Toss the dressing with the potatoes. Taste again and season to taste with salt and pepper. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for 3 to 5 days.
