    Title: Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs w/Potatoes
    Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Vegetables, Potatoes
    Yield: 5 Servings

    MMMMM------------------------VINAIGRETTE-----------------------------
    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.
