Steps:
- Boil potatoes in salted water for 8 mins until just tender, then drain and keep warm (they will absorb the dressing better than cold potatoes). Meanwhile, steam the beans in a steamer over the potatoes for 4 mins. Keep a close eye on them as you want them to be just tender rather than soft. Cool the beans under the cold tap to keep their colour.
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Add the warm potatoes and beans, and toss really well to coat in the dressing. (Warm potatoes absorb the dressing better than cold ones.)

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING
As one of the most adaptable dishes, potato salad has withstood countless reimaginings. In this version, roasted potatoes are paired with two types of beans: Cannellini beans offer a hearty creaminess, while green beans add a welcome crisp-tenderness. If you have garlic or onion powder in your spice rack, use it to add some umami to the roasted potatoes. The avocado dressing is zingy and full of lively flavors; make it as spicy as you can handle, and if you are looking for more tanginess, substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
- After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
- Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
- To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:
- Cook potatoes in water to cover for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on their size, until they are tender but firm; drain, and cut in quarters or halves, again depending on size. Meanwhile, steam the green beans 5 to 7 minutes, depending on their thickness; drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Cut in quarters or thirds, depending on size.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard; stir in the thyme and onion. When potatoes are cooked, stir them into the dressing. If the salad is not to be served immediately, do not add the green beans: the acid of the dressing will turn them gray. Cover the beans well, cover the dressed potatoes and refrigerate separately.
- To serve, let the vegetables return to room temperature. Stir the green beans into the potatoes and dressing, and season with salt and pepper.

FRENCH POTATO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD
If this sounds like a pared-down salade niçoise, it is. Make a bold vinaigrette that is unapologetically fragrant with garlic and anchovy. Boil medium-size potatoes in their skins. Peel, slice and dress them while they are still slightly warm. You can even do the work in advance and then assemble it all just before serving. Authentic, traditional or somewhere in between, maybe we'll just call this a potato salad with a southern French accent and let it go at that.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, bay leaf and thyme branch. Cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, anchovy, capers, mustard and vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk again before using if the dressing separates.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife and carefully cut into pieces 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a low bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper and add half the vinaigrette. Using your hands, gently coat the potatoes with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
- Top and tail the beans. Simmer in salted water until firm-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, then cool under running water and pat dry.
- To cook the eggs, bring a medium pot of water to a rapid boil. Add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes for a somewhat soft-centered yolk or 9 minutes for a firmer yolk. Cool the eggs immediately in ice water, then crack and peel. Cut each egg in half and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- When ready to serve, season the beans with salt and pepper, then dress with the remaining vinaigrette. (Reserve 2 tablespoons vinaigrette for the arugula, if using.)
- Combine the dressed beans and potatoes, using hands to toss, and pile onto a platter. Sprinkle with chives, parsley and basil and arrange the eggs over the top. Garnish with anchovy fillets, if desired. Dress the arugula and send it to the table separately.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. You can use waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, for a firmer texture, or starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Idaho, for a creamier texture.
- Cook the potatoes properly. The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. You can boil them, steam them, or roast them.
- Let the potatoes cool before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the flavor of the potatoes and vegetables.
- Add some fresh herbs or spices to the dressing. This will give the salad a more flavorful and interesting taste.
- Serve the salad immediately. Potato salad is best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, and it is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
