Categories     Salad     Potato     Christmas

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds small, waxy potatoes
1 small glass of Cornichons (gherkin)plus their juice
1 medium white onion
1 slice of dried meat (alternatively couple of slices of low fat bacon)
1 tablespoon of mustard
salt, pepper
100-150g Creme Fraiche

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in its skin until they are "al dente", not too soft. Leave them to cool, peel and cut in slices. Chop onion and the meat (or bacon) and fry in some oil. Do not discard the fried oil. Chop Cornichons. Mix potatoes, Cornichons, onions and meat/bacon together with some of the fried oil (1 tablespoon). Add 1 tablespoon of mustard, some salt and pepper as well as the Creme Fraiche. Stir. In order to keep the salad moist and from drying out, add some of the Cornichon juice (Grandma says a shot of Cornichon water, never managed to give a more detailed info). Leave in a cool place over night. Another variety of the salad was without Creme Fraiche (as my uncle Tom doesn't like it), simply omit the Creme Fraiche and add a bit more oil. Most excellent with warm Wiener (our traditional Christmas dinner)

This is my stepmother Charlotte's recipe. She is a fantastic cook, and a more fantastic lady. I have to admit that this is the first potato salad that I have really liked. It is very creamy and has an excellent taste. The varied colors also make for a nice presentation. Enjoy.

POTATO CHARLOTTE

I have a stack of printed out recipes from 1997 & 1998 - when I was first getting busy on the net. (and obviously before there were sites such as Zaar to store said recipes). So now I'm slowly sorting through them, checking for duplicates and posting what still looks interesting. My goal- no more stacks! This came from ????? on 12/17/97. It sounds as if it could probably benefit from some added spices or herbs (even cheese) but I still like the technique.
