Description

This Home-Style Parisian Potato Salad breaks away from heavy mayonnaise bases, offering a bright and refreshing alternative perfect for warm days. The dish features tender red potatoes tossed in a zesty vinaigrette made with sherry vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. It is packed with robust flavors from roasted red bell peppers, briny Kalamata olives, and finely chopped anchovies that add a subtle umami depth without overpowering the palate. The acidity of the vinegar cuts through the richness of the potatoes, creating a balanced and light side dish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the small red potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  4. Cut the cooled potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Toss gently to coat and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar, roasted red bell peppers, olive oil, chopped Kalamata olives, chopped anchovy fillets, and minced garlic.
  8. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to combine.
  9. Garnish with parsley sprigs and whole anchovy fillets if desired.
  10. Serve at room temperature.
