Ingredients
  • 2 pounds (about 24) fingerling potatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Lemon-Saffron Vinaigrette (recipe below)
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 large shallot
  • large pinch of saffron threads
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Put the fingerling potatoes on a large baking pan, drizzle with the oil, toss to coat and spread out in a single layer. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the pan from time to time, until they are golden on the outside and tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Set the roasted potatoes aside to cool. The potatoes can easily be prepared in advance, covered, and refrigerated.
  4. Slice the fingerling potatoes cross wise into 1/2-inch thick pieces and put into a mixing bowl. Add the vinaigrette, crème fraîche, dill and shallot.
  5. Toss to evenly combine the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Serve room temperature, chilled or warm.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the saffron with hot water. Stir to combine. Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes to bleed out the saffron’s yellow color.
  7. In a blender, combine the egg yolk, mustard, lemon, turmeric, saffron (along with the water), salt and pepper. Blend on medium speed for a few seconds, and then reduce the speed to low. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water or lemon juice to thin out if needed.
  8. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Keep any leftover vinaigrette covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
