Ensaladilla Rusa Spanish Potato Salad



The name for potato salad in Spain is ensaladilla rusa, or Russian Salad. Why? It is said that a Russian invented the salad in the late XIX century.

Jacque's French Potato Salad

Jacque's French Potato Salad

From Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home
by Julia Child, Jacques Pepin

Try this great personal Frech Potato Salad.... incredible...taste it ! O la la....

2 pounds fingerling potatoes or other small waxy potatoes
1/2 cup or so extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup 1/4-inch slices of scallion, green and white parts
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, mashed and coarsely chopped (1 1/2 tsp)
1/3 cup white wine
1 1/2 Tbs Dijon-style mustard
2 to 3 Tbs chopped chives
2 Tbs or more coarsely chopped fresh green or purple basil,

fresh tarragon, or parsley
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more if needed
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper (coarse), plus more if needed

For serving and garnishing
Large radicchio leaves, about 6, from the outside of the head
1 or 2 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
Chopped fresh parsley

Scrub the potatoes and put them, whole, in a saucepan with water to cover by 1/2 inch. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook the potatoes gently until they are just tender and can be pierced with a sharp knife. Drain immediately and let cool slightly. (Scrape the skin from the cooked potatoes, if you want, as soon as they can be handled. For a decorative look with fingerlings, scrape off only a band of skin, about 1/2 inch thick, all around the long sides of the
potato.)

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small saute pan. When hot, add the scallions and the onion, toss to coat well, and cook for about a minute over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, toss to mix, and cook for just a few moments, then remove the pan from the heat.

Slice the potatoes while still warm, cutting them crosswise into 1/2-inch sections. Put the pieces in a large mixing bowl, pour the wine and 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil over them, and toss gently to distribute. Add the warm vegetables from the pan, mustard, chives, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper, and gently fold all together, mixing well but not crushing the potatoes. Taste the salad and add more seasonings as you like.

Serve the potatoes warm (no colder than room temperature). Arrange the large radicchio leaves, if you have them, in a close circle on the serving platter, with their curved insides up, to form a rough bowl. Spoon the potato salad inside the leaves, sprinkle chopped egg around the edges, and parsley over the top.

French Green Bean Potato Salad

Another great French Potato salad recipe...great with beans...taste it !

FRENCH VINAIGRETTE POTATO SALAD

FRENCH VINAIGRETTE POTATO SALAD

Unlike the cold American potato salad coated with mayonnaise, French potato salad is usually bathed in a vinaigrette and served warm. O la la...great and tasty...the French style

3 lbs. (9 med.) boiling potatoes
3 tbsp. vermouth
1 tbsp. stock glaze, or 3 tbsp. stock
Salt and pepper

VINAIGRETTE:

2 1/2 tbsp. wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/4" anchovy paste
7 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. chives, minced
2 tbsp. fresh herbs, minced

Wash and scrub potatoes. Do not peel. Bring 1/2" water to boil in large saucepan and add potatoes. Cook, covered, until barely tender when pierced with a two-tined fork. Overcooking destroys the crisp texture of the dish.

While potatoes are cooking, combine dressing ingredients in jar and shake until thoroughly incorporated. Or put vinegar, mustard, salt and anchovy paste in small bowl and beat with
whisk until blended, then whisk in oil by droplets as though making mayonnaise. Add herbs.
When potatoes are barely tender, remove from pan and peel or not. Slice thinly. Put potatoes in large bowl and immediately add vermouth and stock; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently fold together. Potatoes should still be hot at this point and will absorb the liquid in a minute or two. Add dressing and season to taste with salt, pepper and any desired herbs. Treat gently to prevent breaking.

Transfer to serving dish lined with fresh greens and garnish with additional herbs. Serve warm in the French manner.For the most delicate flavor, prepare as close to serving time as possible, then simply set aside at room temperature up to 4 or 5 hours until ready to garnish and serve. Or prepare a day in advance, chill and allow to stand at room temperature at least 1 hour before serving.

Stock might be a little leftover deglazing sauce, or juices from a roast or braised dish. Ham or beef lends an admirable flavor. Great French Potato Salad with vinaigrette ready to serve...mmmm bon appetite !
