Parmentier French Style Potato Salad Recipes

FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss potatoes and onion. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, tarragon, chives, salt and pepper; shake well. Pour over potato mixture and gently toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour. Serve at room temperature.

FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 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 1/2 (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, basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PARMENTIER POTATOES

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan of cold water and season with a large pinch of salt. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then immediately drain and leave to steam-dry for a few minutes in a colander.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the potatoes onto a large baking tray along with the garlic cloves, rosemary and oil. Season well, then mix everything thoroughly so each potato cube is coated in the oil. Shake the tray gently to spread the potatoes out into a rough single layer. Roast for 30-35 mins, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crisp on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. Serve with roast lamb, fish or as an alternative to chips or roast potatoes.
