Cooking Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by rinsing the new potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. This step ensures that your salad has a clean base of flavors.
-
Boil the Potatoes: Place the rinsed potatoes into a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a rolling boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender, which will take approximately 15 minutes. You can check their doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should slide in easily.
-
Drain and Dry: Once the potatoes are tender, carefully drain them in a colander and allow them to cool slightly. To ensure they remain firm and don’t get waterlogged, turn the potatoes onto a clean tea towel to dry them off completely.
-
Slice the Potatoes: After they have cooled enough to handle, slice the potatoes thickly. The thickness of the slices should be about half an inch to retain a satisfying bite in the salad. Place the sliced potatoes into a large serving bowl.
-
Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, coarse grain mustard, clear honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning. This mixture will create a zesty dressing that enhances the flavor of the potatoes beautifully.
-
Combine Potatoes and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the warm sliced potatoes, ensuring that they are evenly coated. Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing to combine, being careful not to break them apart.
-
Add Fresh Ingredients: Trim the green onions by removing the root ends. Chop the white parts and some of the green stems, and add them to the potato salad. Then, chop the flat-leaf parsley and incorporate it as well, adding a fresh, herbal note to the dish.
-
Final Mix: Give the potato salad one last gentle mix to distribute the green onions and parsley evenly throughout.
-
Serve: The Warm Potato Salad is best enjoyed while still warm, though it can also be served at room temperature if preferred. This makes it an excellent side dish for gatherings or family meals, allowing you to prepare it in advance without sacrificing taste.
This Warm Potato Salad is not only quick to prepare, taking just about 25 minutes from start to finish, but it also offers a delightful array of flavors and textures that will leave your guests asking for seconds. Perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or as a complement to your main dishes, this recipe will surely become a staple in your culinary repertoire. Enjoy the comforting warmth and vibrant taste of this potato salad!
