Description

A delicious twist on a classic French dish, featuring potatoes, capers, and fresh herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3.5 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, freshly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 3/4 cup pickles, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp mustard (preferably Grey Poupon Dijon)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender but still holding their shape.
  2. Chop the celery, parsley, dill, pickles, and mince the garlic. Roughly chop the capers.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them rest to air-dry slightly.
  4. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
  5. Whisk together the mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, honey, and apple cider vinegar until combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
  6. Add the chopped vegetables to the warm potatoes and pour the vinaigrette over them. Gently toss to coat.
  7. Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator enhances flavor over time. Add more olive oil or vinegar before serving if needed.
