(3,321 posts)It's a German-style potato salad. Just replace the potatoes with the cooked pasta of your choice (fusilli, conchiglie (shells), and farfalle (bowtie) are great choices for this.
Ingredients:
1 lb heirloom potatoes on the waxy fleshed side
1 bunch green onions or half a bunch if they are large
1/4 cup parsley chopped fine
2 Tbsp dill fresh; chopped fine
1 oz white vinegar high-strength picking vinegar is okay
4 tsp grainy mustard adjust to taste
1-2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Procedure:
1. Parboil and chill the potatoes in advance.
2. Dice the chilled potatoes to half-inch dice and place in the mixing bowl.
3. Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the bowl.
4. Chop the herbs finely and add to the bowl.
5. Add the vinegar, mustard, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Mix thoroughly but with care not to break up the potato cubes too much.
7. Allow to chill for an hour or two before serving so that the flavors can marry.
