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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the shallots, chop the parsley, and snip the chives. Set these aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and immediately transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve garnished with additional parsley or chives, if desired. Enjoy your Parmentier French Style Potato Salad!
