salade de pommes de terre (french potato salad)
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.
