Classic French Potato Salad

Submitted by Deantini

"Nice and pretty for any summer buffet. From the Canadian Food Network. The dressing can be cut back so the potato salad is less oily, if this is your preference."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 lb small white potatoes (or fingerling potatoes)
• 1 lb small red potato
• 1 1⁄2 cups olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup tarragon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 bunch chives
• sugar
• salt
• pepper

directions

1. 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.
2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk the vinegar and mustard together, then drizzle in the olive oil and beat to emulsify. Using a pair of scissors cut in the chives and stir well. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
3. Cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss them in the dressing while still warm.
