Critique
Chef: could use more "shine", good lemon flavor, cooked well
Personal/Team: The dressing has a nice flavor and potatoes were a good size, cooked well.
Lessons Learned: If serving fingerling potatoes, don't cut them into pieces so small, you can't see that they are fingerlings, that is part of their charm. They naturally grow in a good size for cooking, so you don't need to alter them too much.
