POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ANCHOVIES



Potato Salad With Capers and Anchovies image

Serve this zesty room-temperature salad on its own with crisp lettuce or arugula leaves on the side, or to accompany meats from the grill, a roast chicken or any type of fish. The dressing is essentially a well-seasoned vinaigrette, enhanced with Dijon mustard, capers, a little garlic and a few chopped anchovies. Red onion, thyme leaves and chopped parsley complete the picture - in all, a very simple dish. Most important is to dress the potato slices very carefully with your hands, in order to coat them well and to keep them from breaking. It is a potato salad you'll grow to love, best eaten within hours of assembling (but perfectly serviceable the next day).

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, finely minced or grated
1 tablespoon chopped anchovy (about 4 fillets)
1 tablespoon small capers (or large capers, roughly chopped)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 hard-boiled eggs (8- to 9-minute eggs), for garnish
A handful of arugula leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, put the red onion, vinegar and a healthy pinch of salt. Stir together, then let sit for 10 minutes, so onion softens and pickles slightly. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife. Carefully slice 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a wide, low bowl and season lightly with salt. Pour the vinaigrette over. Using your hands, gently coat the potato slices with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Set aside at room temperature to let the salad absorb the dressing.
  • Just before serving, add thyme leaves and parsley and gently toss the potato slices again. (Some of the vinaigrette will have settled to the bottom of the bowl.) Garnish with halved or quartered hard-cooked egg and arugula leaves, if using.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD



Perfect Potato Salad image

This is my mother Pauline's recipe. It's pretty much a classic American salad but remember, if you add onions, use sweet onions and chop with a very sharp knife, allow potatoes to cool to room temp before dressing them, and always taste for salt.

Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     Creamy Potato Salad Recipes

Time 15h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 pounds large russet potatoes
¼ cup kosher salt
10 cups cold water
½ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons finely diced sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives for garnish
1 pinch paprika for garnish
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise, or more if needed
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
  • When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
  • Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and will not hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will make a big difference in the taste of your potato salad.
  • Add the dressing to the potatoes while they are still warm: This will help the dressing to absorb into the potatoes and give them more flavor.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the potato salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, will add a pop of color and flavor to your potato salad.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the perfect potato salad that is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
