POTATO SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS



Potato Salad with Tomatoes and Capers image

Provided by Roy Finamore

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes, scrubbed
Coarse salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (quartered if very large)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and halved
2 tablespoons salted capers, well rinsed and drained
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (3.75 ounce) can sardines in olive oil

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water by at least an inch, add a good pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cover partway, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain on a rack set in the sink and leave them there until cool enough to handle.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/3-inch cubes. Drop them into a mixing bowl, separating the cubes as you go. Add the tomatoes, onion, olives, capers, parsley, and red pepper. Toss gently. Crumble the oregano over the top, pour in the oil, and toss gently.
  • Transfer the salad to a large serving dish. Drain the sardines and blot them with paper towels, then arrange them over the salad. Let this sit for 30 minutes, and serve it at room temperature.

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).

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when boiled. Avoid starchy potatoes, such as russet potatoes, as they tend to become mushy when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart when mixed with the other ingredients. To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork slides in and out easily, the potatoes are ready.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the ingredients: Overmixing will result in a mushy potato salad. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Potato salad with tomatoes and capers is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues.
