"In my take on potato salad, mini spuds are roasted at high heat, then tossed in a pleasantly bracing mustard and walnut oil vinaigrette. Filled with plenty of toasted walnuts, fresh basil, and sliced scallions, this potato salad is best eaten at room temperature. I recommend gently smashing some of the potatoes to break their skins -- this allows the vinaigrette to better penetrate the starchy goodness...."
