Potato Salad With Olives Capers And Parmesan Food

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
• While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
• When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
• Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

MUSTARD POTATO SALAD, MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Wash and scrub the potatoes and dry them well. Slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline slicer. I used this slicer (affiliate link).
• Place potatoes in a pot and add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Add salt. Turn the heat down and allow the potatoes to simmer for about 6 minutes or so until they're tender (you should be able to poke the potatoes with a fork).
• Add vinaigrette ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well-combined.
• When the potatoes are ready, remove from heat and drain well. Place them in a large mixing bowl and immediately dress them with the Dijon mustard dressing. Gently toss to coat.
• Add onions, fresh herbs, and capers. Toss gently to combine.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. For best results, allow the potato salad some time to marinade before serving. You can refrigerate it for 1 hour or so but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ANCHOVIES

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.
