Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by placing your petite white or red potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender but still firm.

  2. While the potatoes are boiling, grab a small jar or bowl to prepare the dressing. Combine extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dry mustard, dried thyme, oregano, plus a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Secure the lid and shake well until emulsified.
