1 1/4 cups olive oil , plus
2 tbsp olive oil, divided ( not extra-virgin)
3 lbs medium yukon gold potatoes , scrubbed but unpeeled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice , plus
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Drain and rinse under cold water until they are cool enough to handle.
Peel and cut potatoes into 1 1/2 inch chunks.
In a blender, add the lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper; with the blender running, add in the remaining oil to make a thick vinaigrette.
In a big mixing bowl, mix together the yams, potatoes, celery, scallions, and mint.
Toss with about 3/4 of the vinaigrette.
Cover the salad and remaining vinaigrette; refrigerate until the salad is well chilled.
Right before ready to serve, toss the salad with the remaining vinaigrette; season to taste with salt and pepper.
