French Potato Salad
Ingredients
3 lbs. med. sized new potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
1/2 c. chicken broth, room temp.
2 tbsp. minced shallots
2 tbsp. minced parsley
MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE:
6 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt
A few turns fresh black pepper
Directions
SALAD: Cook potatoes in boiling water just until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; peel if you wish, and cut into 1/2 inch slices, dropping them into a bowl. Pour the broth over the potatoes while they are still warm; let them sit a few minutes, turning them gently to give each slice exposure to the broth.
Toss with the mustard vinaigrette, shallot and parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
VINAIGRETTE: Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl, or shake them in a jar with a tight lid. Whisk or shake again just before using. (Excellent on sliced tomatoes, also.)
