French Potato Salad With Mustard Vinaigrette Recipes

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:

• In a pot with a steamer insert, steam the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. (The potatoes can also be cooked in boiling salted water for the same amount of time.) Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• In a pot of boiling water, blanch the leeks for 30 seconds, or until tender. Rinse in cold water and drain. Set aside.
• Cut the roasted peppers in 1/2 crosswise and then cut them into 1/2-inch slices.
• Cut each potato into 8 pieces. In a medium bowl, mix the potatoes, leeks, peppers, thyme, and tarragon. In a separate bowl, stir together the Champagne vinaigrette with the mustard. Drizzle the vinaigrette on the potato salad and toss gently until the vinaigrette coats the salad evenly. Season with the salt and pepper and toss again.
• In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and salt together until the salt dissolves. Slowly whisk in the oil until the dressing is well blended. Season with pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large stockpot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. When cool, cut the potatoes in half.
• Combine the vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Add the potatoes to the vinaigrette, and mix gently but thoroughly. Toss in the scallions, parsley and dill. Salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette: whisk together all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
• To make the Dijon-basil mayonnaise: whisk together all the ingredients until well blended; cover and refrigerate until set to use.
• To make the salad: Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan; add in salt and lower heat to medium.
• Add in potaotes and cook, covered, about 20 minutes or until tender.
• Cool under running water and drain.
• Cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Add potatoes, green onions, and parsley in a bowl.
• Add in the vinaigrette; toss lightly.
• Cover and refrigerate 6-8 hours.
• Serve with Dijon-Basil Mayonnaise--top the salad with a dollop.

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart pot and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool slightly.
• While potatoes are simmering, whisk together sugar and 3 tablespoons vinegar in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices, adding to vinegar mixture as sliced and tossing gently to combine.
• Whisk together shallot, mustard, and remaining tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add dressing to potatoes, then season with salt and pepper and stir gently with a rubber spatula.

Steps:

• 1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; fill with cold water to cover by 2 or 3 inches. Bring to boil over moderately high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover pan, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender.
• 2. Drain potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• 3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a jar. Cover and shake well. Taste and correct the seasonings.
• 4. If desired, peel potatoes. (I don't) Quarter each potato and place in bowl. Shake vinaigrette again and pour over the warm potatoes. Gently fold together until potatoes are covered with vinaigrette. Serve warm or cover and chill, tossing occasionally.
