1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place garlic on baking sheet and drizzle lightly with oil and vinegar. Cover with aluminum foil; bake until garlic is soft, about 15 minutes. Allow garlic to cool and squeeze pulp from skins. Set aside. 2. Cover potatoes with cold water in small saucepan; add coarse salt. Heat to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain; cover with cold water to stop cooking. Drain. Place in medium bowl. 3. Combine 2 teaspoons of the roasted garlic, tarragon, spring onion, ½ teaspoon vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in small bowl. Whisk in olive oil. Pour over potatoes; let stand 15 minutes before serving. Test kitchen note: Small new potatoes, quartered, can be substituted for fingerling potatoes.
