salade de pommes de terre (french potato salad)

Updated on Apr 30, 2021

This is one of my forgotten recipes from the 80s that I fished out of my huge recipe file. I used to make this all the time and we really liked it, I don't know how it came out of rotation. Probably because somehow it never went digital and the card was filed in a weird place. This makes a great side dish to meats and poultry, or even an hors doevre. Dressing the potatoes while still warm is key to this dish's success so they can absorb the broth and vinaigrette flavors.

How To Make salade de pommes de terre (french potato salad)

  • Step 1
    Cook potatoes in salted water just until tender, about 15 minutes depending on size. Drain.
  • Step 2
    Get broth ready. While potatoes are cooking make vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Step 3
    When potatoes are still hot, but cool enough to handle, peel them and slice into 1/4" slices, dropping each slice into serving bowl. Immediately pour broth over potato slices and let them sit for a few minutes, allowing them to absorb the broth.
  • Step 4
    Whisk vinaigrette again and add to potatoes along with shallots nd parsley.
  • Step 5
    Serve warm or at room temperature.
