Ingredients

2 pounds small red bliss potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 cups cold water
1 cup dry white wine
4 parsley stems
6 black peppercorns
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Dressing
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley or a mixture of fresh herbs
1/3 cup minced shallots or red onion
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Slice the potatoes 1/3-inch thick and put in a saucepan with 1 teaspoon of the salt, the water, and the wine. Tie the parsley stems, peppercorns, and thyme in a piece of cheesecloth and add to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and immediately lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 12 minutes. Drain; discard the herb bundle and transfer the potatoes to a bowl.

While the potatoes are cooking make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, parsley, shallots, the remaining 2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a dressing. Toss the warm potatoes with the dressing gently so as not to break up the potatoes. Allow the salad to sit at room temperature for 1 hour to marinate, tossing several times to coat the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve at room temperature.

Great Concept
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved this dish, especially cooking it in the white wine. I did add a little bit of sugar to mine at the end because it... seemed to be missing something. About a tablespoon of sugar really rounded out the flavors for me! My dinner guests all loved it, it will most likely become a tailgate staple!Read more

Yummy!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We opened a bottle of riesling last night, and were preparing a chicken-ginger-mango salad, and I was looking for a carb dish... to go with it. In went to riesling with the water to cook the potatoes, and I used a blend of herbs we had from our herb pot on the deck. My 5 year old was surfing the kitchen pre-dinner and so I started popping pieces in her mouth. We were lucky to have some left over for dinner! It was yummy yesterday, and just as good today....

Double Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last night and served room temp and loved it. Ate it right of the fridge this morning and loved it just as much,... maybe a bit more. Having it cold really brings out the vinegar flavor vs. room temp is more of the olive oil flavor. I also added a healthy teaspoon of dijon to the dressing.Read more

Addictive

It gets better the longer it sits, but that's dangerous since I can't help picking at it! This is a wonderful subtle but... flavorful potato salad.Read more
