Ingredients

  • 2 pounds  Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 7 teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup  finely chopped shallots (about 3 small)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons  sherry vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons  stone-ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon  grated lemon rind
  • 1 teaspoon  fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups  loosely packed arugula

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place potato pieces in a medium saucepan; cover with cold water to 2 inches above potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and gently simmer 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain potatoes.

2. Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Combine shallots, vinegar, mustard, lemon rind, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, stirring constantly with a whisk until combined. Drizzle dressing over warm potatoes; toss gently to coat. Cool completely.

3. Add arugula to potato mixture; toss gently. Serve immediately.
