     Title: Fingerling Potato Salad w/Chive Mayonnaise
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables, Eggs, Herbs
     Yield: 4 servings

   1/2 c  Oil
     1 bn Chives; rough chopped
     1 ts Dijon mustard
   1/2 ts Salt; more to taste
     1    Egg yolk; room temp
     2 lb Small fingerling potatoes
     1 lb Bunch asparagus; trimmed
     2 tb Olive oil
          Fresh ground black pepper
     4 lg Hard-cooked eggs; in 1"
          - pieces
   1/4 c  Loose-packed mint leaves;
          - torn in small pieces, more
          - leaves to garnish

 For the chive mayonnaise: In a blender, puree the
 vegetable oil and chives until smooth. Pour the oil
 through a fine sieve set over a bowl and reserve the oil
 and chive pulp in separate bowls. In a medium bowl,
 whisk the mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and egg yolk until
 smooth. Slowly drizzle the oil into the mustard,
 whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir the chive
 pulp into the mayonnaise, and cover with plastic wrap.

 In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and
 season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high
 heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until
 the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the
 potatoes and let cool slightly.

 Heat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Toss
 the asparagus with olive oil, and season with salt and
 pepper. Broil, tossing once halfway through cooking,
 until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack
 and let cool. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths and
 then transfer to a large bowl.

 Halve the potatoes lengthwise, and then add to the bowl
 along with the chive mayonnaise, chopped egg, and torn
 mint. Season the salad with salt and pepper and toss
 until combined. Transfer the salad to a serving platter
 and garnish with more mint leaves.
