Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby purple red, and Yukon gold potatoes (I get mine at Trader Joe’s)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt for the boiling water
  • 1 cup pink and purple Easter egg radishes, trimmed and very thinly sliced (red or other radishes may be substituted)
  • ⅔ cup red onion diced small (rinse in cold water to mellow the bite)
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • Dijon mustard heaping 1/4 cup
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely minced or pressed
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
  • ½ cup parsley regular or Italian flat-leaf, finely chopped, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large pot, add the potatoes, cover with water, add 2 teaspoons salt, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and allow potatoes to simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until done and fork-tender.
  2. Drain and rinse potatoes under cold water to stop the cooking process; set aside to cool. When they’re cool, halve, quarter, or chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  3. To a very large bowl, add the chopped potatoes, radishes, and red onion; set aside.
  4. To a small bowl, add the olive oil, mustard, red wine vinegar, garlic, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper, and whisk to combine.
  5. Evenly drizzle the dressing over the potatoes in the large bowl, add the parsley, and stir to combine. Taste potato salad and make any necessary adjustments, i.e. more salt, pepper, sugar, dash of extra mustard, oil, vinegar, etc.
  6. Serve immediately if desired or cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Notes
