Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds small red potatoes, halved or quartered if large
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 bunch leeks (about 2 pounds), white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise, cut into 3/4-inch slices, rinsed well, and drained
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring potatoes to a boil over high in salted water. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Return water to a boil, add leeks, and cook until tender, 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer leeks to a blender. Add mustard, oil, vinegar, and 1/3 cup water; puree until very smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.)
  • Add leek mixture to potatoes and toss; season with salt and pepper. Top with parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
