Potato and Anchovy Salad
This composed warm potato salad came together as a dish for my father. It has all the salty, tart flavors that he loves.

Ingredients
1 pound small Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes
1 (3-ounce) bottle capers, drained and liquid reserved
1 (2-ounce) can anchovies, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Step 1
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
