Ingredients

  • potato600 g
  • water1500 ml
  • red onion60 g
  • beef broth250 ml
  • vinegar3 tbsp
  • tarragon mustard0.5 tsp
  • sugar1 tsp
  • vegetable oil6 tbsp
  • salt1 to taste
  • black pepper1 to taste
  • chives10 g

Instructions

1

Wash the potatoes, place them in a pot, cover with water and boil in their skins for 25–30 minutes, until a knife slides easily into the center.

2

Drain the water and let the potatoes cool slightly, but peel them while still warm, then slice thinly, about 2–3 mm thick.

3

Heat the beef broth almost to a boil. Add the finely chopped red onion, vinegar, tarragon mustard, sugar, salt and black pepper; warm through for 1–2 minutes, without boiling.

4

Pour the hot dressing over the warm potatoes and gently fold together with a spatula so the slices don't break apart and the salad turns slightly creamy.

5

Cover the bowl and let the salad sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, so the potatoes soak up the dressing.

6

Before serving, drizzle with vegetable oil, gently toss once more and sprinkle with finely chopped chives.
