Preparation
- Step 1
For the Meyer lemon vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and mustard until combined. Slowly add olive oil, whisking until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley and oregano; set aside.
- Step 2
For the potatoes: Put potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to simmer, cover and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well, return potatoes to the pan and put back over low heat, stirring a few times, to dry well.
- Step 3
Add crème fraîche, lemon zest, parsley, oregano and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently crush with a potato masher until combined. If desired, potatoes may be covered and kept in a warm oven for up to 30 minutes. To serve, transfer to a bowl and drizzle with Meyer lemon vinaigrette while still hot.

Looking for ways to use a bag of Meyer lemons (from Costco!?), this recipe is a great twist on usual mashed potatoes. The lemon peel and dressing makes them brighter and lighter, and they go very well alongside seared fish like tuna. Lacking crème fraiche I swapped in the usual sour cream -- no problems.
Sour cream will work fine. The only time it's not a good substitute for creme fraiche is when the recipe calls for brining it to a boil. Sour cream doesn't hold up as well as creme fraiche does in that situation.
Love these potatoes! They are perfect with his Roquefort chicken thighs.
Turned out just great as written. Taste for salt. my final result was lacking salt but some grinds at the table made it just perfect. Great with a grilled steak!
Yum! Was really good with salmon.
Added some honey to the vinaigrette. Used milk with a dollop of cream cheese in lieu of crème fraiche. Offered sour cream at the table. Served with Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves from All Wings Everything. Happy, happy family!
