Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 medium Shallots
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 15 grams Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, then bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12–15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the shallots, chop the parsley, and snip the chives. Set these aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified. This will be your vinaigrette dressing.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and immediately transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
While the potatoes are still warm, drizzle half of the vinaigrette over them and gently toss to coat. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
Add the minced shallots, chopped parsley, and chives to the potatoes. Pour the remaining vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss again to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Allow the salad to cool to room temperature before serving. This salad can also be chilled in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours for a refreshing dish.
Serve garnished with additional parsley or chives, if desired. Enjoy your Parmentier French Style Potato Salad!
