  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes (including resting time)
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (1kg) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) white wine vinegar, divided
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup (90g) minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons (6g) minced fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Place sliced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Season generously with salt.
  2. Place potato skins in a fine-mesh strainer and submerge in the pot.
  3. Bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Discard potato skins, drain potatoes, and transfer to a baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons vinegar and let cool.
  6. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and add remaining vinegar, olive oil, mustard, red onion, chives, chicken stock, and sugar.
