Time 35m

Yield Makes 6 servings (side portions)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds small yellow or red potatoes
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 medium scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes to a large stockpot and cover with water by 2 inches. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water, and then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain then set aside to cool.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite sized chunks or slice into thin rounds. Add to a large salad bowl.
  • Whisk the mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil together until creamy and emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the dressing over the potatoes and toss. Set the potatoes aside for five minutes to absorb the dressing (it will look like a lot at first, but the potatoes will soak it up).
  • Add the scallions and fresh herbs. Toss gently, but thoroughly. If the potato salad seems dry, add a splash of the remaining dressing. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate, and then serve the salad cold.

Categories     Salad

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.

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES



Herby Potato Salad With Smashed Olives image

As with coleslaw, there are two schools of potato salad: the mayonnaise-based and the vinegar-based. This recipe plants itself firmly in the latter camp with bright, punchy flavors. The dressing here is a classic red-wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette that develops great flavor after marinating with capers, smashed green olives and thinly sliced shallots. Just fifteen minutes in the dressing softens the shallot's bite, and a quick soak brings canned olives to life. There may appear to be too much dressing when you add the cooked potatoes, but as the potatoes cool, they'll absorb it beautifully. (The key is to add them to the dressing as soon as they are cool enough to handle.) Any small potatoes will work for this recipe, and a mix of colors looks particularly nice. The most important detail is that the potatoes should be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small (or baby) red or Yukon Gold potatoes, all about the same size
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup Castelvetrano or other green olives, pitted and smashed (about 4 ounces)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
  • While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
  • Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 5 medium), unpeeled
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Cool to just warm, 10 to 15 minutes; peel potatoes. Cut each potato in half, then cut into 1/3-inch slices.
  • Place warm potatoes in large bowl. Stir red wine vinegar and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves, then drizzle over potatoes. Toss to coat. Mix in onion slices. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature.
  • Add olive oil and parsley to potatoes. Toss well and let marinate at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use the Right Kind of Potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Boil potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Make a Flavorful Vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is key to the flavor of the potato salad. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and be generous with the herbs.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a bright, vibrant flavor to the potato salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Add Vegetables and Other Ingredients: Feel free to add other vegetables and ingredients to your potato salad, such as celery, carrots, hard-boiled eggs, or bacon.

Conclusion:

Herb vinegar potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tangy vinaigrette, tender potatoes, and fresh herbs, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or picnic. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing side dish, give this recipe a try!
