Yield about 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 pound small, red-skinned potatoes, such as red thumb, scrubbed
1/2 pound small, white-skinned waxy-style potatoes, such as German butterball, scrubbed
1/2 pound small, blue-potatoes, such as Peruvian fingerling, scrubbed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
2 scallions (white and green), thinly sliced

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.
