Time 41m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 baking potatoes (about 1-1/4 pounds)
2 sweet potatoes (about 1-1/4 pounds)
Salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons chopped pitted green olives (with or without pimientos)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 stalks celery (with leaves if possible), finely chopped
2 hard cooked eggs, coarsely chopped (optional)
3 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, plus a few sprigs, for garnish
8 pitted black olives, rinsed and blotted dry

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch dice. Place the baking potatoes in a large saucepan with 2 quarts cold, lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and simmer until both types of potatoes are just tender, 4 to 6 minutes, 10 to 12 minutes in all. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. In a large salad bowl combine the mayonnaise and mustard and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the oil, vinegar, capers, green olives, and pepper. Stir in the drained potatoes while still hot and let cool.
  • Stir in the celery, eggs, scallions, onion, and parsley. Correct the seasoning, adding salt or vinegar: the salad should be highly seasoned. Clean the edges of the bowl with a rubber spatula or a paper towel. Decorate the top of the salad with a black olive and parsley sprigs and serve at once.

I'm going to try making this salad with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure if I can find all the ingredients in my local grocery store.

I'm wondering if I could use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the dressing.

I'm going to try using a different type of vinegar in the dressing, maybe apple cider vinegar.

I'm not a big fan of red potatoes, so I'll use all white potatoes instead.

I'm allergic to celery, so I'll have to omit it from the recipe.

This recipe seems a bit complicated for a potato salad. I might try a simpler recipe instead.

I'm not a huge fan of potato salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The roasted potatoes add a nice touch of smokiness and the dressing is perfectly tangy.

The recipe was easy to follow and the end result was delicious. I especially loved the contrast between the creamy white potatoes and the roasted red potatoes.

This two-tone potato salad is a delightful dish that combines creamy and tangy flavors. The addition of roasted potatoes adds a smoky and crispy element that complements the tender boiled potatoes perfectly.
