Make   -   (30 min + cooling time)
  1. Place POTATOES in a sauce pan with Cold Water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer until Potatoes are just done through and a sharp skewer goes through the largest one without hitting a stiff spot in the center.
  2. Meanwhile:   Squeeze Lemon Juice and mix all Dressing items.
  3. Slice SCALLIONS crosswise thin. Chop MINT small, Mix. Measures are after chopping lightly packed.
  4. Separate out 1/4 cup of the Scallion Mix and reserve for Garnish.
  5. Then:   As soon as Potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut as needed. For 1 inch long leave whole. For 1 to 2 inches long cut crosswise in half. For 2 to 3 inches cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise, or however you want.
  6. Place still hot Potatoes in a mixing bowl and pour dressing over them. Tumble gently to coat, then tumble gently with the Scallion mix and Aleppo Pepper.
  7. When cooled, refrigerate to hold, but let warm a bit before serving.
  8. Serve cool, garnished with the reserved Scallion mix.
NOTES:
  1. Potatoes:

      The photo example was made with small yellow potatoes. Small Red Potatoes would also work well. Larger potatoes can also be used but will need peeling. For details see our Potatoes page.
  2. Aleppo Pepper:

      This flavorful chili flake is available in "mild", which is quite mild, and "extra hot", which is still pretty mild. Use your own best judgement.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
