Warm Fingerling Potato Salad

Serves 6
A lemon-olive oil dressing is poured over tender potatoes while they're still warm, and a dash of red pepper flakes adds some kick to this simple side dish.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds yellow fingerling potatoes
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced crosswise on bias
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS
