Ingredients

• 2 pounds new potatoes
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place the garlic packet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
3. While the garlic is roasting, wash the new potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender but still firm.
5. In a small bowl, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the skins and mash with a fork. Add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
6. Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the roasted garlic vinaigrette over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
