Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the potatoes and 2 tbsp salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 mins, until the potatoes are barley tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15-20 mins, until tender but firm.

2. Meanwhile, ion a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.

3. When the potatoes are cool enought to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing. Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, then salt and pepper to taste. Toss well, cover, and refriferate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.
