My mom's cupboard is FILLED with old cookbooks from the 80s and even before that.
This particular recipe is from Sunset Favorite Recipes for Salads copyright 1979.
The funny part is that I made this potato salad a little while ago for my parents to take to a 4th of July party. French potato salad...American holiday. Interesting.
Anyways, this potato salad is low in saturated fat, zingy, zangy, tangy, and just plain delish!!
You will need:
2 1/2 pounds of red potatoes (boiled)
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley (fresh is best)
1 small red onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp tarragon leaves
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
To boil potatoes: place in 1 inch of boiling water, cover and cook until tender when pierced (about 30 mins)
Drain, let stand for about 10 minutes. Slice into thin rounds about 3/8 inches thick.
Place potatoes in a large salad bowl. Add all other ingredients. No specific order, its delicious anyway. Mix until all potatoes are covered. Prepare the day before and refrigerate over night. This is so the tastes can absorb.
Not so crazy, I mean the French helped us win our independence from England. It's only right to honor them on this day as well. Besides this salad looks delicious.
