RED, WHITE, AND BLUE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• To make the potatoes: Tie the thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine. Put the bundle in a medium saucepan along with the wine and garlic. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and add to the saucepan. Add cold water to cover by 1 inch and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and discard the herb bundle.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a large bowl combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and season with pepper, to taste. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing.
• Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and toss very gently to combine, taking care not to break up the potatoes. Add the celery and set aside to cool.
• When ready to serve, carefully fold in the parsley and scallions. Serve.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Very thinly slice potatoes on a mandolin (about 1/16 inch thick). Cover in cold water (separately, if using multiple colors) for 1 hour. Swish potato slices around to release starch, then drain. Repeat until water is no longer cloudy. Spread slices out on kitchen towels and pat dry. Let air-dry 15 minutes.
• Fill a medium heavy pot halfway with extra-virgin olive oil. Clip a candy or frying thermometer to pot and heat oil to 345°. Add a small handful of potato slices and stir to break apart (temperature will drop and oil will vigorously bubble).
• Turn and stir potatoes until bubbling stops completely, about 4 minutes per batch; do not let temperature go above 350°. Remove and drain on paper towels. (If they are still slightly soft in the center after resting a minute, return to oil briefly.) Sprinkle with salt.
• Return oil to 345° between batches. (You can reuse the oil later to make more chips; store it in a tightly covered jar for up to a month.) Chips are best eaten the day they are made, but can be stored, once cooled completely, in an airtight container up to 3 days.

RED, WHITE, & BLUE BBQ POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the large potatoes into thirds (rounds about 1/2-inch thick), then cut the medium potatoes in half. Small potatoes you can leave whole.
• Season the potatoes and scallions with EVOO, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place the potatoes and scallions on the grill and tent with one large piece of tin foil.
• Cook the scallions until they are charred slightly, about 7 minutes, then remove them to a large mixing bowl to cool.
• Once the scallions come off, turn the potatoes and cook 7-10 more minutes, until tender.
• Roughly chop the scallions into bite-size pieces then place them back into the mixing bowl.
• Add the brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, hot sauce and vinegar to the bowl and season with a bit more salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until the sugar is somewhat dissolved.
• As the potatoes finish cooking, transfer them into bowl with the dressing. Once they are all off the grill, toss them in the dressing to coat.
