Salade de pommes de terre à l’ancienne servie froide, avec oignons rouges émincés, persil frais et vinaigrette maison, dans un plat en grès rustique.
1 kg of firm potatoes (e.g., Charlotte, Nicola, or Ratte)
1 small red onion or 2 shallots, finely sliced
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional: cornichons, boiled eggs, or capers for garnish
Wash and peel the potatoes (if not using new potatoes), then cut them into large chunks.
Cook in simmering salted water or steam for about 10–15 minutes, until just tender but not falling apart.
Drain and let them cool slightly (they should still be warm when dressed).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
Dijon mustard
Vinegar
Salt and pepper
Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Add the warm potatoes to the vinaigrette and gently toss to coat (they’ll absorb the flavors better when warm).
Add sliced onions and parsley. Mix again delicately.
Let the salad rest at least 30 minutes before serving – it’s even better after a few hours in the fridge!
Add chopped boiled eggs, cornichons, or even smoked herring for a heartier version.
