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.

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds small red potatoes, halved
Kosher salt
6 strips bacon, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 red onion, diced
3/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chervil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with 2 inches water. Generously season the water with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes cook, place the bacon in a cold skillet and turn to medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and thyme to the pan. Saute the bacon and thyme until just starting to crisp, about 7 minutes; we want to render the bacon slowly. Once the bacon has rendered some of its fat, add the onions to the bacon and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, butter and mustard.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and add immediately to the pan with the sauteed bacon. Stir to coat, adjusting the seasoning, if necessary. Add the remaining fresh herbs, toss and serve.
  • This salad can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Cook's Note: Adding the potatoes while they are still warm will help them to soak up the flavors of the vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes for a more complex flavor and texture. Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or Yukon Gold hold their shape well, while starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho become creamy when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water to infuse them with flavor. You can also add aromatics like garlic, onion, or bay leaves to the water for extra flavor.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before making the salad. This will help prevent the potatoes from breaking apart and becoming mushy.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the salad. You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the potatoes.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Dill, chives, parsley, and basil are all great options.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, tangy dressing, and fresh herbs, potato salad is the perfect dish to bring to a potluck, picnic, or barbecue.
