50 Recipes 2011, #39: Very-much-marinated potatoes

[nonelvis]

I've had The Enchanted Broccoli Forest for years but for some reason, have never gotten around to making much out of it. (Most likely it's all the other Moosewood-related cookbooks I have.) Anyway, I had some potatoes, I wanted something other than roasted potatoes or a mayo-based salad, and I found this one, which cooks very thinly sliced potatoes in a vinaigrette.

This is some seriously delicious stuff. The potatoes have just the right mix of vinegary tang and olive-oily unctuousness; I think we could have just had this for dinner and been happy. Best of all: totally vegan, so it might end up on my Thanksgiving table.

Thanks, this sounds wonderful. I'll leave out the capers, I think, and add the peppers to my dish. Sean won't eat 'em. I have a lovely mandoline my brother gave me for Christmas last year, after I nearly lost a finger with a little plastic wannabee chopper. I wonder if a little garlic would conflict with the peppers... Can't wait to try this! Thanks!
