Tips and Tricks
Cooking the Potatoes
Cut the small red potatoes into even eighths to ensure they cook uniformly. Boil the potatoes until they are just tender but not falling apart, about 13 minutes. Be sure to check with a fork for doneness.
Cooling the Potatoes
After boiling, drain the potatoes using a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps maintain their texture. Chill the potatoes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before mixing with the other ingredients.
Preparing the Dressing
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic until well combined. This creates a tangy and flavorful dressing that complements the potatoes.
Combining Ingredients
Once the potatoes are chilled, mix in the sliced green onions, chopped celery, and chopped fresh parsley. These ingredients add crunch and freshness to the salad.
Tossing the Salad
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to break up the potatoes while mixing.
Chilling
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Gently toss the salad again before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Serving Suggestions
This potato salad is a great side dish for grilled meats, sandwiches, or as part of a picnic spread. It pairs well with BBQ, burgers, or roasted chicken.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even tastier the next day.
Customizing the Recipe
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other ingredients such as chopped bell peppers, capers, or a handful of cherry tomatoes. You can also substitute apple cider vinegar for white wine vinegar for a different flavor profile.
