Ingredients

• 2 pounds fingerling potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 ounces pancetta, diced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut larger potatoes in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced pancetta. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the rendered fat in the skillet.

Step 4

To the skillet with pancetta fat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, and minced shallot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Add the cooked and drained potatoes back into the skillet with the vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the dressed potatoes to a serving bowl. Top with the crispy pancetta, chopped parsley, and chives. Serve while still warm.
