WARM FINGERLING POTATO SALAD



Warm Fingerling Potato Salad image

A lemon-olive oil dressing is poured over tender potatoes while they're still warm, and a dash of red pepper flakes adds some kick to this simple side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds yellow fingerling potatoes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 medium red onion, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced crosswise on bias
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium-sized saucepan covered 2 inches by salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a small saucepan, combine olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, capers, lemon, and red onion. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  • Drain the potatoes, halve lengthwise, and toss with warm dressing, celery, and parsley. Salt to taste and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use fingerling potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a slightly nutty flavor. If you can't find fingerling potatoes, you can use small red potatoes, but they may not hold their shape as well.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To ensure that the potatoes are cooked evenly, bring them to a boil in salted water. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Be careful not to overdress the salad, or it will become soggy.
  • Serve the salad warm or cold: This salad can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before adding the dressing. If you're serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This balsamic fingerling potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy dressing, tender potatoes, and crisp vegetables, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
