Sarah's Vineyard's French Potato Salad
Serves 4 to 6
1 pound small white boiling potatoes
1 pound small red boiling potatoes
2 tablespoons Hampton Hills chardonnay
2 tablespoons chicken stock
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
10 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup minced scallions
(white and green parts)
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons minced
flat-leaf parsley
Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Drain in a colander and place a towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 more minutes. As soon as you can handle them, cut in half (quarters if the potatoes are larger) and place in a medium bowl. Toss gently with the wine and chicken stock. Allow the liquids to soak into the warm potatoes before proceeding. Combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes. Add the scallions, dill, parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.
