Submitted by ratherbeswimmin

"Use left-over roast lamb."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 lbs red new potatoes
• 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
• salt, to taste
• 1 cup cubed well-trimmed roasted cooked lamb (1/2-inch cubes)

• Dressing

• 2 tablespoons minced shallots
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• salt, to taste
• fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

directions

1. Use a pan with a steamer basket; add water to the pan to reach just below the basket; bring water to a boil; add potatoes to the basket (they should fit in a single layer; if you have more than one layer, steam the potatoes in batches; if the potatoes are very large, cut them in half and steam them cut-side down).
2. Cover the pan and steam until done, checking to make sure the water does not boil away (small potatoes--15 minutes; larger potatoes--18-20 minutes).
3. When done, transfer potatoes to a colander to drain; remove basket and pour out water from pan.
4. Return potatoes to the warm pan; toss over low heat to dry them.
5. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel if desired, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
6. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl; sprinkle with vinegar and salt while still warm.
7. Add in the lamb.
8. To make the dressing: mix together the first 7 dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
9. Whisk in the olive oil; pour the dressing over the potato-lamb mixture.
10. Toss gently but mix thoroughly.
11. Serve immediately.

OMG! Yum. I discovered this when I was going to post my lamb salad recipe. I got so excited I forgot to post it. I used lamb strip loin cooked about medium. Thank you.

I ate this curled up on the couch while it was still hot - so delicious!! I microwaved the potatoes in a wet paper towel instead of steaming or boiling them. I will definitely make this again - very easy and tastes good.
