Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs New potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
4 cups boiling water with 1 tsp salt
1/3 cup mustard-Dijon vinaigrette (1 tbsp Dijon, 2 tbsp lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, honey)
1/4 cup chopped anchovies (optional, substitute with 1 tbsp capers)
2 tbsp vegan yogurt (optional for creaminess)
Avocado oil (if vegan)
