6

Ingredients

1 lb small white boiling potatoes
1 lb small red boiling potatoes
2 tbsp good dry white wine
2 tbsp chicken stock
3 tbsp champagne vinegar
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp pepper
10 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup minced scallions
2 tbsp minced fresh dill
2 tbsp minced parsley
2 tsbp julienned fresh basil leaves

Preparation

Step 1

1. Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20-30 mins, until they are just cooked through. Drain in a colander and place a towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 mins more. As soon as you can handle them, cut in halves or quarters and place them in a medium bowl. Toss gently with the wine and chicken stock. Allow the liquids to soak into the warm potatoes before proceeding.

2. Combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes. Add the scallions, dill, parsley, basil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper; toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.
