• Cook 2 pounds quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in salted boiling water until tender, adding 1/2 pound halved green beans in the last 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Whisk 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons grainy mustard, 1/4 cup chopped mixed herbs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

WARM DIJON POTATO SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least a couple inches. Salt the water generously, bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Bring another pot of salted water to a boil and throw the beans in just for a minute or two until they turn bright green. Strain them and run them under cold water to stop the beans from cooking.
• In a mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then into roughly 1 inch chunks. Cut beans in half. Toss the potato chunks in the dressing and then toss in the green beans and the parsley.

Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm.
• Add bacon to skillet. Cook until bacon is browned, about 3 minutes. Add green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add to potatoes along with lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.

YUKON GOLD POTATO AND ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• FOR SALAD:
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 22 minutes. Drain well. Cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Halfway fill large bowl with cold water. Squeeze in juice from half of lemon. Cut second lemon half in half. Cut off stem from 1 artichoke and rub exposed area with cut side of lemon piece. Starting from base of artichoke, bend each leaf back and snap off where leaf breaks naturally. Continue until light green leaves are exposed. Cut off top 2 inches of artichoke above heart. Using small sharp knife, cut off all dark green areas. Cut artichoke heart into quarters. Rub all cut surfaces with lemon piece. Cut out choke and pink inner leaves from each section and discard. Place artichoke heart sections in water with lemon juice. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• Combine 1 2/3 cups water, olive oil, wine, peppercorns, coriander and thyme in heavy large saucepan and bring to boil. Drain artichokes. Add to saucepan. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Cool. Cut into slices. (Potatoes and artichokes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
• Mix potatoes, artichoke slices, red onion, green onions, tomato, olives and basil in large bowl.
• FOR DRESSING:
• Mix lemon juice and mustard in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Mix into salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

FRENCH POTATO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, bay leaf and thyme branch. Cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, anchovy, capers, mustard and vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk again before using if the dressing separates.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife and carefully cut into pieces 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a low bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper and add half the vinaigrette. Using your hands, gently coat the potatoes with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
• Top and tail the beans. Simmer in salted water until firm-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, then cool under running water and pat dry.
• To cook the eggs, bring a medium pot of water to a rapid boil. Add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes for a somewhat soft-centered yolk or 9 minutes for a firmer yolk. Cool the eggs immediately in ice water, then crack and peel. Cut each egg in half and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, season the beans with salt and pepper, then dress with the remaining vinaigrette. (Reserve 2 tablespoons vinaigrette for the arugula, if using.)
• Combine the dressed beans and potatoes, using hands to toss, and pile onto a platter. Sprinkle with chives, parsley and basil and arrange the eggs over the top. Garnish with anchovy fillets, if desired. Dress the arugula and send it to the table separately.
