Potato Salad With Sun Dried Tomato Caper Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover by at least 2 inches. Set the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil and continue boiling until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to dry for 5 minutes.
• In a serving bowl, add the potatoes, tomatoes, scallions, olives, parsley, capers, thyme, olive oil, and lemon zest. Toss gently until all the ingredients are coated and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour and gently toss again before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, put the red onion, vinegar and a healthy pinch of salt. Stir together, then let sit for 10 minutes, so onion softens and pickles slightly. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife. Carefully slice 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a wide, low bowl and season lightly with salt. Pour the vinaigrette over. Using your hands, gently coat the potato slices with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Set aside at room temperature to let the salad absorb the dressing.
• Just before serving, add thyme leaves and parsley and gently toss the potato slices again. (Some of the vinaigrette will have settled to the bottom of the bowl.) Garnish with halved or quartered hard-cooked egg and arugula leaves, if using.

Steps:

• Cook each kind of potato separately. Start potatoes in cold, salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, yet not falling apart. Drain and cool on parchment paper. Cut the tiny red potatoes into wedges. Toss in olive oil. Place on hot grill and grill on both sides until grill marks show and they are warm throughout. Combine all ingredients for the Potato Dressing allow to steep for about 1/2 hour. Toss the potatoes in the steeped dressing. Set aside. Blend the yellow vine ripe tomatoes in a blender with extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and salt until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. Place all the miniature tomatoes in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and basil, cover with yellow tomato vinaigrette and gently mix. Adjust seasoning with more vinegar, salt, and oil, if needed. Arrange grilled dressed potatoes in the center of each of 4 plates and surround with the tomato salad. Top each salad with 2 ounces goat cheese. Drizzle with basil oil and top with a basil sprig.

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; stir in the olives and diced celery. Halve the potatoes and transfer to a shallow bowl. Scatter the tomatoes over the potatoes, then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Scatter the celery leaves, basil and chives over the salad and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• In a bowl, whisk together the onion, mustard, 2 tablespoons of the red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil and then add the tarragon.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot of cold, well-salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until tender when pierced, about 15 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl or sheet pan to cool slightly. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar.
• Add some of the vinaigrette to the potatoes and toss; you may not need it all. Add the tomato and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning. The salad may need more salt.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in plenty of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain and cool under cold running water. Remove the skins and set the potatoes aside for later.
