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. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the skin off and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Prepare the broth.
  • Step 3
    Make vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Add the minced shallot and parsley to the vinaigrette.
  • Step 5
    Slice the warm potatoes into 1/4" slices, dropping each slice into a serving bowl.
  • Step 6
    Immediately pour broth over potato slices and let them sit for a few minutes, allowing them to absorb the broth.
  • Step 7
    Stir the vinaigrette again and pour it over the potatoes.
  • Step 8
    Salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Serve immediately while warm.
