I double the amount of consome, and add basil, thyme, a pinch of rosemary, and a good deal of capers. Great stuff!
This is my recipe and I feel compelled to add a few words here. When totally different herbs, spices, vinegars and oils are used rather than what I submitted, it no longer resembles the original dish and is certainly no longer French. I'm sorry so many felt they had to change it. ChristyJ
This is a fairly quick and easy potato salid altho the kids like a potato salid with a little more zip. This is great for an adult meal.
Delicious! I made half of the recipe and used 1/2 cup of chopped Vidalia Onions instead of the Green Onions (it was what I had on hand); however it turned out great. Would make again.
I only needed about 1/2 of the dressing for my 9 medium red potatoes. I did not really care for this.
I thought this was a nice change from the usual potato salad. I added more seasonings plus some dillweed. Thanks!
A "not bad" adaptation of the classic. I preferred to peel and slice the potatoes into 1/4" slices before cooking preferred olive oil over vegetable oil white wine vinegar over tarragon vinegar and chicken broth over the beef consomme. I used all ingredients to taste - in amounts that looked right for the amount of potatoes I used. I used russet potatoes which are NOT the best choice for a recipe like this but it's what I had on hand. A red potato new potato or Yukon Gold is what's needed here and it would be good to specify that in the recipe. Best served at room temperature.
We entertain outdoors a lot in the summer and this has become one of our dishes that people look forward to. My husband absolutely prefers this over the mayonnaise and egg-laden version. It's extremely easy to make we use small red potatoes or sometimes multi-colored fingerlings to jazz it up. Because it has no mayonnaise you don't have to worry about it sitting outside for a few hours. I typically make it with vegetable stock rather than the beef consomme so that it is truly vegetarian. Yum!
I made this several times when we members of a CSA to use up rocket since I didn't know what else to do with it. I loved the exotic flavor it has very continental. The mustard and vinegar blend perfectly with the rocket. If you're looking for a different potato salad this is a great one to try.
