Ingredients
2.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender but firm.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and slice into uniform 1/4 inch rounds while still slightly warm.
Sauté the diced onions in olive oil in a pan until soft and translucent.
Whisk the vegetable broth, vinegar, and Dijon mustard into the pan with the onions.
Simmer the dressing for three minutes to blend the flavors.
Pour the hot dressing over the sliced potatoes in a large bowl.
Toss gently to coat, garnish with fresh chives, and let rest before serving.
Notes
Always boil potatoes whole to maintain their structural integrity. Slicing them while warm is the secret to ensuring they absorb the dressing properly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
