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.

Absolutely Wonderful!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This indeed is the BEST potato salad EVER!!! It was so flavorful and it looked like it would take a lot of effort...which it... didn't! Not to mention way healthier than your average mayo and egg potato salad. The cooking method for the potatoes was also wonderful, the potatoes turned out just right. When my husband first looked at and smelled it he turned to me and said "I don't think im going to like that.." He ate it all up!!! He had the leftovers as a snack later that day! :) I didn't have Tarragon so I used Thyme and Rosemary instead, it was still delicious! I will definitely be making this again!! I think everyone should try this!Read more

The absolute best potato salad ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had never used fresh tarragon before; now I'm using it in many 'old' recipes to give them a new twist. I actually used... this dressing as a marinade on chicken and it was a big hit. The method of letting the potatoes rest under the dish towel was new to me also, and it really makes a difference in the outcome.Read more

I know Ina has a Jewish... background and was wondering if she had a family reciepe for a holiday dish made with noodles. It is a type of noodle pudding called Kuggle. Not sure of the spelling. Thank You ...My e-mail is darliegurl@yahoo.com PS Chocklate Cake is great and so easy to make.Read more

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
