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).

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 potatoes hold their shape better when cooked and are less likely to fall apart, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water: Salting the water helps to season the potatoes as they cook and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Cook potatoes until tender but not mushy: You want the potatoes to be firm enough to hold their shape, but not so hard that they're difficult to chew.
  • Cool potatoes before dressing: Cooling the potatoes before adding the dressing helps to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes potato salad special. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a dressing that you love.
  • Add mix-ins for extra flavor and texture: Mix-ins like diced celery, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or pickles can add extra flavor and texture to your potato salad.
  • Serve potato salad chilled or at room temperature: Potato salad can be served chilled or at room temperature, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:
