Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus about 2 tablespoons more for garnish
1/3 cup roughly chopped green onions, plus about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 stalks celery, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine sliced potatoes and salt. Cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a paring knife and pulled out with little resistance, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, 1/3 cup parsley, 1/3 cup green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the herbs and garlic have been chopped into little pieces. Then, while running the food processor, pour in the reserved cooking water and process just until blended. (If you don't have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the parsley and onions and whisk the dressing together until the oil is fully incorporated.)
  • Drizzle the potatoes with the herbed olive oil mixture and gently mix to combine. (It will look like you've poured in too much dressing, but don't worry, the potatoes will soak it up!) Let the potatoes rest for ten minutes, gently tossing every few minutes.
  • Add the celery to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons each of additional chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This salad is best served within a few hours, but will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds baby red potatoes, skin on
3 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
1 Fresno chile, seeds removed and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely-minced shallot
2 tablespoons chardonnay vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus additional to taste
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the potato salad: Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Season the water liberally with salt. Bring the potatoes to a simmer over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Transfer to a sheet tray or cutting board. Gently press each potato and garlic clove to smash them and set them aside in a bowl, covering the bowl with aluminum foil to keep the potatoes warm.
  • For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
  • Add the warm potatoes to the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add the parsley, dill and tarragon to the potatoes. Toss to coat, seasoning with additional lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the Fresno chile and chives. Serve at room temperature or keep covered in the refrigerator overnight, tossing again before serving.

I saw Ina make this on her Food Network television show. The episode was entitled "Flavors and Flowers". You can also use the small red potatoes or even Yukon Gold potatoes in place of the small white potatoes.

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs small white potatoes
kosher salt
2 tablespoons good dry white wine
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
fresh ground black pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel.
  • Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion.
  • Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size.
  • Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.)
  • Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature.
  • **Cook time does not allow for the potatoes to "steam" for 20 minutes after boiling them or the few hours of refrigeration time.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of herbs: This will give your potato salad a more complex flavor. Some good options include basil, chives, dill, oregano, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overwhelm the potato salad.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings as needed.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
