Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cashew butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon whole grain dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Place the potato cubes and garlic cloves in a large pot filled with water and a tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, removing the garlic cloves. Cover the pot and let the potatoes steam for another 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by finely chopping the garlic. In a bowl, whisk together the cashew butter, tahini, both types of mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and chopped garlic. Add 2 tablespoons of warm water and season with cayenne, salt, and pepper. Adjust with more water if the dressing separates.
- Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and add the chopped basil, dill, oregano, and chives. Toss everything together well and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for serving at room temperature or cold. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
