French Country Potato Salad Recipes

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.

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:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Cool slightly. Peel and slice into a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, consomme, green onion, parsley, and salt and pepper.
• Gently toss warm potatoes with dressing. Cover, and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

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.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold water by 1 inch and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Run under cold water to cool slightly, then drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together oil, mustard, vinegar, shallot, parsley, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes and onion and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature. To store, refrigerate, up to overnight.

Steps:

• Cover potatoes in large saucepan with water. Bring to boiling and cook until fork tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle but still very warm, peel the potatoes and then cube. Place the warm potatoes in large bowl. Add the salt and French dressing, tossing to coat (You can even let the potatoes sit in the refrigerator overnight at this point.).
• Meanwhile, place the eggs in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to just under a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and return the eggs to the pot, covering with ice water. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel the eggs under cold running water, beginning with the large end. Cut into small cubes and reserve.
• To the potatoes, add the celery, onion, and pickle relish.
• In small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. With a spatula, fold the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture until thoroughly blended. Add the egg and gently stir just to evenly distribute. This is one of those dishes that is even bettr the next day. (If you can wait that long).

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Set aside. Combine dressing ingredients; pour over potato mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
