Warm Fingerling Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 3". Stir in 1 tablespoons salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and let cool slightly.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until seeds start to pop, about 2 minutes. Pour oil with seeds into a large bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 10-12 minutes.
• Whisk remaining 4 tablespoons oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon water into mustard-seed oil. Add potatoes and leeks; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Return to room temperature before serving, adding more oil and vinegar if dry.

Steps:

• Put the fingerling potatoes in a saucepot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and add salt, and simmer, until just fork-tender.
• Cook's Note: You can use the same pot of water for boiling the eggs and blanching the beans. Just watch the time.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing in a serving bowl, or if you have a mortar and pestle, use that. Begin with mashing the anchovy fillets into the mustard and garlic. Add the vinegar, and slowly whisk in the oil. If too thick, add a little water. Season with salt and pepper.
• Blanch the beans in salted boiling water, drain and plunge or chill down in a cold water bath. Drain the beans on a towel.
• Peel the eggs and cut in half.
• Drain the potatoes, and while still warm, drop them into the serving bowl with the dressing. Add the beans and eggs. Gently fold all together, and serve warm in shallow white plate or bowls.
• This salad is also good served at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium-sized saucepan covered 2 inches by salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile in a small saucepan, combine olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, capers, lemon, and red onion. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
• Drain the potatoes, halve lengthwise, and toss with warm dressing, celery, and parsley. Salt to taste and serve warm.

Steps:

• Steam the potatoes for 20 minutes, or until you can easily pierce them with a paring knife.
• While potatoes are steaming, heat the olive oil in a medium (10") skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, and sautee until onions are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat under the skillet and add the vinegar, capers, mustard, pepper, and salt. Set aside.
• While they are still hot, slice the potatoes into 1/4" rounds.
• Add the potatoes, parsley, and chives to the skillet, and stir gently until all potatoes are coated evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
