3 tablespoon good quality white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon honey
2 oz feta cheese

Notes

For delicious crispy roasted potatoes with soft and tender centers be sure to coat them in plenty of olive oil, leave space between each piece on the roasting pan and flip them at least once during cooking.
The best potatoes to roast for potato salad have waxy thin skin, like red potatoes, yellow, purple, and fingerling. Most potatoes will taste great except for russet potatoes.
