Portuguese Potato Salad Recipes

SIMPLE PARISIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover by 1 inch with water. Season with salt. Add bay leaf and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Meanwhile, whisk olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl together until emulsified.
• Drain cooked potatoes in a colander and cool until just warm enough to handle. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch slices and transfer to a large bowl.
• Drizzle vinaigrette over potatoes, gently tossing to coat. Add shallots and parsley and toss lightly to combine.
• Set the potato salad aside for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute the onion, and garlic until onion is translucent, 4-5 minutes or so.

• Cover, turn heat to low, for about 15 minutes, or as soon as the potatoes become tender.
• Uncover, raise heat to medium, and cook down the sauce until thickened, and mostly cooked away.
• Remove from heat, check the salt again, and add the cilantro and vinegar.
• Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Place potato cubes in a bowl; sprinkle with vinegar while they are still warm.

• Add the sausages; stir/saute for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned.

• To make the dressing: in a small mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar, salt and pepper together until the salt dissolves.
• Whisk in the mustard and anchovy paste until well blended.
