Salade de Pommes de Terre à l’Ancienne : Recette Authentique

Salade de Pommes de Terre à l’Ancienne Maison

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.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

1. Cook the potatoes

  • 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).

🔹 2. Make the vinaigrette

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

    • Dijon mustard

    • Vinegar

    • Salt and pepper

  • Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.

🔹 3. Dress the salad

  • 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!

🔹 4. Optional toppings

  • Add chopped boiled eggs, cornichons, or even smoked herring for a heartier version.
