Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the quartered new potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well.
  2. Transfer the hot potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling chicken broth over the potatoes and let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, crushed dried basil, minced garlic, and pepper to create the dressing.
  4. Add the dried tomatoes and diced celery to the bowl with the potatoes.
  5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional pepper or vinegar if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
