Description
A refreshing and flavorful French Potato Salad with Green Beans, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved or quartered if larger
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, or to taste for salting the water
- ½ pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into thirds
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water by at least 1-2 inches. Add the kosher salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 12-15 minutes. Once tender, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pot and set aside in a colander.
- Bring the water back up to a rolling boil. While waiting, make an ice bath in a large bowl with ice cubes and water; set aside.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- To make the vinaigrette, in a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except olive oil and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsified dressing.
- Place the potatoes in a large serving bowl and pour about ¾ of the vinaigrette over them. Toss to coat.
- Add the green beans, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and toss well to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately, at room temperature, or chilled. If chilled, allow to come to room temp for about 20-30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
Notes
- Can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
- Great for potlucks and outdoor gatherings.
