Balsamic Eggplant and Potatoes

¾ cup high quality balsamic vinegar
¼ cup honey mustard
3 bunches scallions, both green and white parts, trimmed and thinly sliced
4 oz. (jar) sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and cut into julienned strips
5 Yukon gold potatoes (~2 ½ lbs.) diced and reserved in cold water to cover
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 large eggplant (~1 ¼ lbs) unpeeled but diced
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

In a bowl, whisk vinegar into mustard. Stir in scallions and tomatoes, set aside.
Pat potatoes dry with paper towels
Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in large skillet or sauté pan (I used a wok) over high heat until hot. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing gently for 8 minutes. In another skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil over high heat until hot. Add the eggplant and cook, tossing occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add the eggplant to the potatoes. Pour in vinegar mix, toss to combine well, and cook over medium heat for ~ 2 minutes (heat through). Season. Can be served hot or at room temp.
