FINGERLING POTATO SALAD WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS



Fingerling Potato Salad with Sugar Snap Peas image

The richness of creamy fingerling potatoes is lightened by snap peas, slivers of red onion, and tarragon flowers.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds fingerling or other small potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
Coarse salt
8 ounces sugar snap peas, plus more, split, for garnish (optional)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Creamy Tarragon Vinaigrette
Freshly ground pepper
Fresh tarragon and tarragon flowers, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with cold water by 2 inches in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; add 3 tablespoons salt. Reduce heat to medium-high; simmer potatoes until tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Bring another medium saucepan of water to a boil; add 2 tablespoons salt. Blanch snap peas until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool in an ice-water bath. Drain, and pat dry.
  • Toss potatoes, snap peas, onion, and vinaigrette in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with split snap peas, tarragon, and tarragon flowers, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes, new potatoes, or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape well in salads and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged, cook them until they are just tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of sugar or preservatives.
  • Add plenty of flavor: Caesar salad dressing is typically made with a combination of lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as fresh parsley, chives, or cracked black pepper.
  • Don't skimp on the Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is an essential ingredient in Caesar salad dressing. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese that has been freshly grated for the best flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Caesar salad is best served immediately after it is made. The dressing can wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Caesar potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy dressing, crunchy croutons, and salty Parmesan cheese, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
