Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve the blue Little potatoes, then toss with two teaspoons olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until tender. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the quinoa and half-cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand an additional five minutes before fluffing with a fork.
When ready to assemble, whisk together the vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard and generous pinch salt and pepper in a small jar or container to make the dressing. Continue to whisk, slowly drizzling in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and add the dressing. Toss, season to taste as needed, and serve.
