Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Vegetables, Potatoes
Yield: 5 Servings

2 tb Red wine vinegar
1 tb Olive oil
1 ts (to 2 ts) Dijon mustard; to
- taste
1 ts Dried herbes de provence or
- Italian seasoning or dry
- thyme
+=OR=+
1 tb Fresh chopped herbs such as
- thyme or tarragon
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/2 ts Ground black pepper

MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
2 lb Chicken thighs; bone in,
- skin-on, trimmed of excess
- fat
1 ts Kosher salt
1 ts Olive oil
3 lg Yukon gold potatoes; peeled,
- sliced 1/8" thick or less,
- about 1 1/2 lb
1 c Sliced, peeled shallots or
- sub thin sliced onion that
- has soaked in water for 10
- minutes
4 cl Garlic; peeled, crushed
Several whole sprigs fresh
- tarragon or thyme (opt)
More salt & pepper

Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

Sprinkle all sides of chicken thighs with kosher salt
and set aside.

In a small bowl whisk together the red wine vinegar,
olive oil, Dijon mustard, herbes de provence, 1/2
teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper.

Spread a teaspoon of olive oil over the bottom of a
large (9" X 13") casserole dish. Cover the bottom of the
dish with the thinly sliced potatoes. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Distribute the sliced shallots over the
potatoes, and sprinkle again with a little salt and
pepper.

Place the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on top of the
shallots. Wedge the garlic cloves between pieces of
chicken. If you have fresh herbs such as tarragon or
thyme, you can wedge them in along the border, between
the chicken pieces and the dish. Whisk the vinaigrette
again and pour it over the chicken, spreading it with
your fingers to make sure the chicken is well coated.

Bake uncovered in a 375øF/190øC oven for 50 minutes, or
until the thighs are well browned and cooked through.
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before
serving.

* Red potatoes work well here as I suspect the purple
Peruvian potatoes would, as well. Just so long as it's
a waxy potato rather than a mealy one. - UDD

Yield: Serves 4 to 6.
