We've been loving this recipe since Ina's first cookbook came out ages ago!
I've never had anything but loads of compliments in all of these years. It's great as suggested in the cookbook as part of a grilled tuna nicoise platter with fresh tuna, haricots verts, tomatoes, olives, and arugula or mixed lettuces. I use 1/2 the amount of olive oil in the dressing with good results. Makes my mouth water as I think of this delicious potato salad! You won't be disappointed with this fresh tasting dish!

This produced very tasty results, but I'm glad I read through the reviews before making this. Thanks to many of the helpful tips, I made a few modifications to the recipe that customized it to my taste, and the result was delicious. Ten tablespoons of olive oil would have been way too much. I cut back to 7 and there was still a lot of dressing in the bowl, even after marinating in the potatoes overnight. I would probably cut back to 6 or maybe even 5 the next time I make this. Not being a fan of parsley or dill, I used fresh rosemary and thyme instead and it was fab. I made this a day ahead and brought to room temperature before serving, it tasted great. I think Ina's instructions to steam the potatoes after boiling and then tossing them with chicken stock and wine before adding the dressing makes all the difference in getting great results.

I didn't have Champagne Vinegar,I used excellent quality Red Wine Vinegar.I added 5 chopped Scallions with the Parsley and also added a fine minced stalk of Celery. Was delicious! I served it chilled. Great for a hot summer evening meal.

This was delicious! I couldn't find champagne vinegar so used rice vinegar instead and it was still fabulous! I love to try healthier salads, especially ones for BBQ's and everyone loved it at the BBQ last night! Will definitely be making this one again.

This recipe is a hit with me. I served it to friends with discriminating taste and it got rave reviews. I loved departing from the use of mayo...it's in every salad at every BBQ! Can't wait to make this again over the July 4th weekend.

I just finished making a double batch for a father's day picnic tomorrow and I am having a hard time not eating it all! I'm a vegetarian, so I used veggie broth and my grocery store doesn't carry champagne vinegar so I used white wine vinegar. It's still delicious!
This is the perfect thing to bring when someone else is bringing macaroni salad and you don't want to overkill the mayo by bringing a traditional potato salad. Your family and friends will be so impressed too!
Ina, I have never been disappointed by a single one of your recipes! And I've made a lot of them! Thanks so much for this amazing recipe!
