1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds medium red bliss potatoes
6 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped, plus 1 teaspoon caper brine
6 cornichons, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, plus 1 tablespoon cornichon brine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil (see Cook's Note)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • In a bowl that is large enough to hold the potatoes, whisk together the sherry vinegar, mustard, capers and brine, and cornichons and brine. Whisk in the olive oil. Taste for seasoning.
  • Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, add the rosemary sprigs. They should bubble and froth slightly. Allow the rosemary to cook until its green color pales slightly and the needles become crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them carefully from the oil and put them on a kitchen towel to drain. Season them with 1 teaspoon of the salt.
  • Halve the warm potatoes and add them to the bowl containing the dressing. As you mix, lightly crush them with the tines of a fork. Season with the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Flake the crispy rosemary needles from the stems over the potatoes. Discard the stems. Serve immediately.

POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ANCHOVIES



Potato Salad With Capers and Anchovies image

Serve this zesty room-temperature salad on its own with crisp lettuce or arugula leaves on the side, or to accompany meats from the grill, a roast chicken or any type of fish. The dressing is essentially a well-seasoned vinaigrette, enhanced with Dijon mustard, capers, a little garlic and a few chopped anchovies. Red onion, thyme leaves and chopped parsley complete the picture - in all, a very simple dish. Most important is to dress the potato slices very carefully with your hands, in order to coat them well and to keep them from breaking. It is a potato salad you'll grow to love, best eaten within hours of assembling (but perfectly serviceable the next day).

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, finely minced or grated
1 tablespoon chopped anchovy (about 4 fillets)
1 tablespoon small capers (or large capers, roughly chopped)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 hard-boiled eggs (8- to 9-minute eggs), for garnish
A handful of arugula leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, put the red onion, vinegar and a healthy pinch of salt. Stir together, then let sit for 10 minutes, so onion softens and pickles slightly. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife. Carefully slice 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a wide, low bowl and season lightly with salt. Pour the vinaigrette over. Using your hands, gently coat the potato slices with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Set aside at room temperature to let the salad absorb the dressing.
  • Just before serving, add thyme leaves and parsley and gently toss the potato slices again. (Some of the vinaigrette will have settled to the bottom of the bowl.) Garnish with halved or quartered hard-cooked egg and arugula leaves, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russet, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes correctly: Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender. Do not overcook the potatoes, as they will become mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes completely: Before adding the dressing, allow the potatoes to cool completely. This will help the potatoes absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes the potato salad, so don't skimp on flavor. Use a combination of mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and herbs to create a dressing that is both tangy and creamy.
  • Add mix-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to your potato salad, such as hard-boiled eggs, celery, onions, or bacon. Just be sure to adjust the amount of dressing you use accordingly.
  • Serve chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato salad that is both delicious and impressive. So next time you're looking for a side dish that everyone will love, give this recipe a try.
