Martha Stewart French Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a stockpot, and add enough cold water to cover by 4 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, and add salt; reduce heat, and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain; let cool slightly. Peel potato, and cut into quarters or eighths.

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.
