Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs small potatoes
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper , to taste

Directions:

  1. Rinse the potatoes and place them in a large pot, covered with lightly salted cold water.
  2. Bring to a boil and boil until cooked through. Poke a test potato with the tip of knife to check for doneness. The potatoes are done when the knife point slides all the way to the center easily.
  3. With a wire strainer or slotted spoon, remove the potatoes to a plate or bowl. Leave the cooking water in the pot.
  4. Bring the cooking water back to a boil. Rinse the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Chop the asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Keep the tips separate. Make up a large bowl of ice water.
  5. Place the asparagus (except the tips) into the boiling water. Cook for 1 minute and then add the tips. Cook for another minute and check to see that the asparagus is mostly tender but retains a little crunch. Remove the asparagus pieces from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into the ice water.
  6. In a large bowl mix together the olive oil, chives, lemon juice, cayenne, and a little salt and pepper.
  7. The potatoes should be still quite warm but cool enough to handle now. Quarter the potatoes and add them to the dressing.
  8. Stir gently to coat the potatoes. Add the asparagus and gently toss again. Check for seasoning and add more lemon juice, salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.
