Ingredients

3 pounds small white boiling potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons good dry white wine
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup good olive oil
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

TIRED OF FOOD NETWORK'S MISTAKES
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Why doesn't the recipe call for the 1/2 of chicken stock that Ina used? Looks like to me they could put the recipes on here... RIGHT if they wanted us to keep coming back!Read more

Different from the TV Recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Why is this recipe different from the one she made on the show? During the show, Ina poured at least a cup of chicken stock... on the warm potatoes prior to adding any dressing. That would make an enormous difference.Read more

Not sure what to make of it
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It could be because I have never tried tarragon before, it maybe an acquired taste but my boyfriend thought it was great.

gotta love tarragon
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The first time I made it I used dill (dried) Instead of fresh tarragon. Today I doubled it and used all the correct... ingriedents. My husband asked what did you put in this , I don't care for it. The tarragon (fresh) tastes licorice-y. A little too sophisticated for some! I am trying to doctor it up with dill now.Read more

Good - but could use more "herbs"
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Next time I try this recipe - I think adding thyme and rosemary might give it more of the flavor I wanted.

I'm not sure what happened with mine. The only thing that I can think of is that I did not add the dressing when the... potatoes were still warm as I have a baby that I had to attend to. The dressing did not absorb. I really like her other potato salad much better. I cannot remember the name, but search potato and Ina and you should get it. It's fabulous.Read more
