French Potato Salad With Anchovies Recipes

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.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the yolk of the hard-boiled egg and vinegar until smooth. Whisk in the sour cream and oil.
• Finely chop egg white, finely chop anchovies and finely slice 4 scallions. Whisk all into egg yolk mixture.

FRENCH POTATO SALAD WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in lightly salted water until done (ca 20 minutes). Cool slightly, but peel while still warm. Slice into 1 cm / 1/2 inch pieces.
• Mix wine, apple vinegar, olive oil and chopped green onions and heat in large skillet or wok at medium-low temperature. Add sliced potatoes and shake skillet, so that the liquid covers the potatoes or mix potatoes carefully to cover them. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the temperature up and cook until potatoes have absorbed most of the dressing.
• Slice the anchovies and mix with the chopped parsley and chives in a small boil. Add the reserved oil from the anchovies and stir. Mix carefully with the potatoes and remove them from the heat.
• Put on individual plates or in a bowl. Serve while still warm or at room temperature.

ANCHOVY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over high. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, and let cool, about 30 minutes. Stir in celery, scallions, eggs, and mayonnaise and season with salt. (To store, cover and refrigerate, up to 3 days.)

POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, put the red onion, vinegar and a healthy pinch of salt. Stir together, then let sit for 10 minutes, so onion softens and pickles slightly. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife. Carefully slice 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a wide, low bowl and season lightly with salt. Pour the vinaigrette over. Using your hands, gently coat the potato slices with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Set aside at room temperature to let the salad absorb the dressing.
• Just before serving, add thyme leaves and parsley and gently toss the potato slices again. (Some of the vinaigrette will have settled to the bottom of the bowl.) Garnish with halved or quartered hard-cooked egg and arugula leaves, if using.
