Ingredients
1/4 cup chopped cornichons or relish
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 ribs celery, diced
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1/2 small red onion, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Directions
- In a bowl, mix together the cornichons or relish, mustard, honey, celery, lemon zest and juice and red onion. Season with salt and pepper and let sit while the potatoes cook.
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Season the water generously with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, put back in the saucepan, add the vinegar and, using a rubber spatula, toss gently to combine.
- Add the mayonnaise, chives and parsley to the celery-onion mixture and stir to combine. Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and toss. Season to taste. Garnish with extra chives and parsley.
