FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Drain in a colander and place a towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 more minutes. As soon as you can handle them, cut in 1/2 (quarters if the potatoes are larger) and place in a medium bowl. Toss gently with the wine and chicken stock. Allow the liquids to soak into the warm potatoes before proceeding.
• Combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes. Add the scallions, dill, parsley, basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CLASSIC FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drop your potatoes into a large pan of salted boiling water. Cook until tender but not soft. These potatoes want to remain on the firm side of tender rather than being over cooked and falling apart.

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the potatoes onto a large baking tray along with the garlic cloves, rosemary and oil. Season well, then mix everything thoroughly so each potato cube is coated in the oil. Shake the tray gently to spread the potatoes out into a rough single layer. Roast for 30-35 mins, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crisp on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. Serve with roast lamb, fish or as an alternative to chips or roast potatoes.
