Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 3/4"-1" pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
9 tablespoons (or more) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons brown mustard seeds
3 medium leeks (white and palegreen parts only), halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into ¼" slices (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon (or more) white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 3". Stir in 1 tablespoons salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and let cool slightly.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until seeds start to pop, about 2 minutes. Pour oil with seeds into a large bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Whisk remaining 4 tablespoons oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon water into mustard-seed oil. Add potatoes and leeks; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Return to room temperature before serving, adding more oil and vinegar if dry.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover fingerling potatoes. It's also a great dish to bring to a potluck or picnic.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based potato salads, but this one is an exception. The dressing is light and tangy, and the potatoes are cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potato salad turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the potatoes.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party and it was even better the next day.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potato salad turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use less salt. It was a little too salty for my taste.

The dressing for this potato salad is amazing! I could drink it straight from the bowl. The potatoes were a little bland, but the dressing more than made up for it.

This potato salad is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add some diced celery and red onion for extra crunch.

This fingerling potato salad was a hit at my last potluck! The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the dressing was tangy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
