Beef Salad With Potatoes And Cornichons Food

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH CORNICHONS AND DILL

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until just tender when poked with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. Slice the potatoes crosswise 1/2 inch thick and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Grill the potatoes over moderately high heat until dark brown grill marks form, about 5 minutes. Flip and grill until the potatoes are browned and completely tender, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Return the potatoes to the bowl.
• In another large bowl, mix the cornichons with the pickled onions, the vinegar, dill and the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Let stand for at least 10 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.

Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl, and drizzle with vinaigrette. Add onion, cornichons, capers, parsley, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. Using a large spatula, gently stir to combine.
