FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Drain in a colander and place a towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 more minutes. As soon as you can handle them, cut in 1/2 (quarters if the potatoes are larger) and place in a medium bowl. Toss gently with the wine and chicken stock. Allow the liquids to soak into the warm potatoes before proceeding.
• Combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes. Add the scallions, dill, parsley, basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes with water to cover and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Do not overcook. Drain and let stand until ready to prepare. The salad should be made while the potatoes are still hot or warm.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. There should be about 6 cups. Put the slices in a bowl and sprinkle them with the wine.
• Combine the vinegar, oil, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and blend. Add the potatoes and parsley. Blend well. If the salad is left to stand, stir from the bottom before serving.

CLASSIC FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drop your potatoes into a large pan of salted boiling water. Cook until tender but not soft. These potatoes want to remain on the firm side of tender rather than being over cooked and falling apart.
• Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk the vinegar and mustard together, then drizzle in the olive oil and beat to emulsify. Using a pair of scissors cut in the chives and stir well. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
• Cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss them in the dressing while still warm.

• Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters, depending on size. Combine the white wine and chicken stock, and pour over warm potatoes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Add celery, scallions, and cornichons, and toss to combine.
• Combine mustards, vinegar, remaining salt, and pepper in a small bowl; whisk to combine. Gradually add olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Pour dressing over potatoes; let sit until room temperature; stir in dill. Serve cold or at room temperature.

FRENCH POTATO SALAD WITH GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and drop them into a saucepan of enough boiling salted water to cover. Boil about 30 minutes, just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a small knife. Drain. As soon as the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place the potatoes in a large shallow serving dish. Pour the wine over the warm slices and toss very gently. Set aside until the potatoes have absorbed the wine.
• Meanwhile, use a small whisk to beat the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl until the salt has dissolved. Add the oil by droplets and whisk until thickened. Whisk in the green onions. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently. Recheck seasoning and adjust if necessary. Sprinkle with the parsley.
