Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons white wine vinegar divided
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 pounds red-skinned potatoes quartered
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper or to taste
- ½ red bell pepper diced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar and the sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill the pot with cold water so that it is one inch above the potatoes. Set over high heat and boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain and put the potatoes into the large bowl with the vinegar/sugar mixture. Gently stir until the potatoes are coated with the mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, garlic, onion, and Dijon mustard. In a slow stream, add the extra-virgin olive oil, whisking constantly. This will make an emulsification. Stir in the chopped thyme.
- When the potatoes cool to room temperature, gently fold in the dressing. You may not need all of it. Taste as you go. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle ½ finely chopped red pepper on top and serve.
- This potato salad can be made the day before. Just cover and refrigerate it. Bring it room temperature before serving.
