POTATO SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS



Potato Salad with Tomatoes and Capers image

Provided by Roy Finamore

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes, scrubbed
Coarse salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (quartered if very large)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and halved
2 tablespoons salted capers, well rinsed and drained
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (3.75 ounce) can sardines in olive oil

Steps:

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: To add complexity and flavor to your potato salad, use a combination of different types of potatoes. Baby potatoes, red potatoes, and Yukon Gold potatoes are all good choices.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and not hold their shape in the salad. To prevent this, boil the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the salad: Over-mixing the salad will break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
  • Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed: Potato salad should be well-seasoned, but not too salty or vinegary.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later: Potato salad can be served immediately, or it can be chilled for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or snack. There are many different ways to make potato salad, but the recipe above is a classic that is sure to please everyone. With its creamy mayonnaise dressing, crunchy vegetables, and flavorful herbs, this potato salad is a perfect addition to any summer gathering.
