  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb small white boiling potatoes
  • 1 lb small red boiling potatoes
  • 2 tbsp dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp chicken stock (or 1 tbsp white wine vinegar)
  • 3 tbsp Champagne vinegar
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 10 tbsp good olive oil
  • ¼ cup scallions (minced (white and green parts))
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill (minced)
  • 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley (minced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil (julienned)

Instructions

Boil the Potatoes

  1. Place both types of potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 20–30 minutes until just tender. Drain and cover with a clean towel to steam for 10 more minutes.

Cut While Warm

  1. While still warm, halve or quarter the potatoes depending on size. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add Wine and Stock

  1. Gently toss warm potatoes with dry white wine and chicken stock (or vinegar). Let them soak up the liquid for a few minutes.

Make the Vinaigrette

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together Champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to create a smooth emulsion.

Toss Everything Together

  1. Pour the vinaigrette over the potatoes and toss gently. Add scallions, dill, parsley, and basil. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Let It Rest

  1. Allow the salad to sit for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
