Introduction

French potato salad is lighter than the mayonnaise-based version I grew up with. Made with a mustard vinaigrette dressing, this classic recipe is very similar to what I ate in Calais when I was in France.

Ingredients

    3 lb Petite red potatoes
    1.5 lb Potatoes, Dutch Yellow Peewee
    6 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    0.50 tsp Salt
    0.50 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground
    1 cup celery hearts, finely sliced
    1 cup fresh Parsley, chopped
    4 Tbs red wine vinegar
    3 Tbs Dijon Mustard
    2 large Hard Boiled Egg
    4 slices Bacon Turkey


Tips

Dressing the potatoes when they are still warm allows them to better absorb the dressing.


Directions

1. Put the red potatoes in a large pot. Add water to 1 inch above the potatoes. Bring the pot to a boil; simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
2. Cook the with the peewee potatoes in a separate pot, simmering for about half as long. Do not over cook.
3. While potatoes are boiling, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Prepare the remaining ingredients.
3. Drain and cool the potatoes just enough to handle easily. Cut the peewee potatoes in half. Cut the red potatoes in half and then cut each half into thick slices.
4. Combine the potatoes, onion, parsley and celery hearts. Coat with the dressing.
5. Before serving, stir in the turkey bacon and sliced egg.
