Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 count garlic cloves (minced)
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 30 milliliters lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 5 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
- 5 grams anchovy paste
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 15 grams fresh parsley (chopped)
- 100 grams croutons
Instructions
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the kosher salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut larger potatoes in half and leave smaller ones whole for uniform bite-sized pieces.
While the potatoes are cooling, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the Caesar dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, the sautéed garlic with its oil, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
Add the cooled, cut potatoes to the mixing bowl with the Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat all the potatoes evenly in the dressing.
Fold in the chopped parsley and mix lightly.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Top with croutons and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
