Pee Wee Potato Salad

3 - 4 lb. pee wee potatoes, pricked with a fork

2 red onions, peeled and thinly sliced

2 bunches asparagus, stems broken where they naturally break

olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1/2C oil packed sun-dried tomato slices

1 Tbsp. capers, drained

10 pitted Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

2C baby arugula (optional)

Vinaigrette

2 Tbsp. Sherry wine vinegar

2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. honey mustard

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

4-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a sauté pan, add the red onions and cook until slightly caramelized – about 40 minutes.  Let cool.  Shake the vinaigrette ingredients together in a jar and set aside.  Preheat oven

to 400F.  Place the pricked potatoes on a cookie sheet and bake until soft – about 20 minutes.  Let cool slightly.  Place the asparagus on a cookie sheet, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast until

tender – about 15 minutes.  Let cool.  Cut into 2-inch pieces.

Add ¼ cup of the vinaigrette to the potatoes and toss while they are still warm.  Add all the remaining ingredients and toss, adding additional vinaigrette as necessary.  Serve at room temperature.
