Ingredients
Dressing
- 1 Tbsp coarse mustard - Pommery is nice if you can get it
- 2 tsp wine vinegar - sherry, red or white in that order
- 3 Tbsp good quality olive oil
- a few grinds ground pepper
Potato salad
- 1 lb small new potatoes - whole
- 1 large shallot - thinly sliced (1/3 cup or so)
- 3 slices bacon - cooked and diced
- fresh chives - to taste
- salt - to taste
Instructions
Dressing
- Combine the mustard and wine vinegar.
- Drizzle in the oil, stirring constantly. The oil should emulsify into the mustard/wine vinegar mixture but if it doesn't it's not the end of the world.
- Add a few grinds of pepper and set aside.
Potato salad
- Boil the potatoes in well salted water until done. Done means a fork slides in with minimal resistance.
- Drain and let cool enough to handle.
- Cut the warm potatoes into bite sized pieces.
- Toss potatoes, shallots and dressing. Let cool slightly.
- Add the bacon and chives, toss and serve.
