FRENCH POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Drain in a colander and place a towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 more minutes.

LEMON VINAIGRETTE POTATO SALAD
I developed this recipe for a friend who needed a potato salad that could withstand Fourth of July weather. The vinaigrette was a safe and delicious alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based potato salads. I've also substituted fresh thyme for the basil. Any fresh herbs would be great! -Melanie Cloyd, Mullica Hill, New Jersey

PEASANT POTATO SALAD
This is a very yummy and a much healthier alternative to traditional potato salad. Not only is it lower in calories, it is safe to stay outside during a cookout without the worry of the mayo getting spoiled. My husband, who is a very picky eater, devours this every time I make it. This recipe is a slightly adapted version from Top Chef's Carla Hall. She adds 1/4 cup slivered kalamata olives to hers, but I leave it out just because I don't like olives. I always use gourmet fingerling potatoes which come in all different colors (red, purple, yellow...). It makes for a beautiful and colorful salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russets, when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
- Boil the potatoes until tender but not mushy: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when mixed with the other ingredients.
- Cool the potatoes completely before mixing them with the other ingredients: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: Overmixing will cause the potatoes to break down and become mushy.
- Adjust the amount of harissa vinaigrette to taste: The amount of harissa vinaigrette you need will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later: Potato salad can be served warm or cold.
Conclusion:
This peasant potato salad with harissa vinaigrette is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The combination of tender potatoes, crisp vegetables, and tangy vinaigrette is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect potato salad every time.
