We just ate these, and they were fantastic. We halved the salt in the "dressing" because the capers are salty too. We also fried the garlic with the potatoes for the last couple of minutes because we have had a raw garlic overload lately. Try these, they're great!

I made them as stated and they were delicious! A very nice spin with the mint. Next time I'll cut down on the salt. Thanks tish!
