How to Prepare a Classic French-Style Potato Salad
By Tommy Nopud
Potatoes have been around for ages, and they are great to work with. Nothing beats a good old classic French-Style potato salad, served with some tender, grilled meat (T-Bone steak) along the barbeque and a fine glass of red wine.
A potato salad is so simple to make, and you can serve it with anything; meat, chicken, fish, whatever comes up in your mind. Here's a tasty potato recipe that will get you licking your fingers.
Classic French-Style Potato Salad
Ingredients:
2 pound of Yukon Gold Potatoes; scrubbed, not peeled
3-2/3 c Dry white wine
Salt and white pepper
1/2 c Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tb Shallots; minced
2/3 c Scallions; chopped
Preparation:
Boil the whole unpeeled potatoes in generously salted water until fork tender, 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
As soon as you can handle the potatoes, but while they're still warm, slice them just under 1/2 inch thick with a very sharp knife, so they do not get mashed.
Boil the wine in a small saucepan over medium heat, until reduced by half.
Add salt and pepper, and the hot wine over the potatoes. Toss gently.
Add the olive oil, tossing just until combined, and then add the shallots and scallions.
Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve at room temperature.
Variations on this recipe... You can follow the basic recipe, just take out the scallions, and substitute one of the following combinations... chopped tomato, diced crisp bacon, and hard cooked egg.
Chopped olives, minced garlic, and cubed chicken or turkey.
Enjoy!
