Method · 45 min
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread across a large roasted tray. Roast for 40 minutes, until golden and crisp, turning halfway, then transfer to a large bowl
- Toss the walnuts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a small baking tray and roast for 6 minutes, or until golden
- For the dressing, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice and white wine vinegar, then whisk in the olive oil in a thin, steady steam until emulsified. Mix through the parsley, capers and cornichons, then taste and season well with salt and black pepper
- For the mushrooms, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the mushrooms, and fry for 8 minutes, tossing occasionally until the mushrooms are starting to caramelise. Reduce the heat slightly and toss through the garlic and thyme for 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper
- Add most of the mushrooms, walnuts and dressing into the bowl with the potatoes and gently toss together
- Transfer the potatoes onto a large platter, and top with the remaining mushrooms, walnuts and dressing. Serve immediately
