french fingerlings.





this is one of those things you don't need a story about
you don't need to explain yourself with this one
it's a side, a snack, a quickie bite
whatever it is
it's EASY to create 
& keep around in the fridge


french fingerling potato salad

*gather*
bunch of parsley & chives
1 - 2 shallots/finely chopped
7 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs white wine vinegar
2 - 3 imperfect teaspoons of 
good french mustard
1 tbs capers
1/2 clove chopped garlic (if want)
sea salt

*boil it*
grab a pasta pot
add water 1/2 way
put it on high/boil
once water is boiling 
add potatoes
timer 15 minutes 
fork em'
ready?
if yes.. strain them in sink 
cut them in half or any which way you like
put them in a big bowl

*mix it*
grab a ball jar/glass measuring cup/bowl
add mustard and vinegar first
then stir in olive oil
add salt and pepper to your taste
then add shallots, capers & garlic
twist the lid on
shake it 
shake it 
shake it up
(this dressing you can have 
anytime in the fridge)

best to pour onto the potatoes 
when warm & chop up all your herbs
and mix it all together with some wood
inspired by jamie oliver good old french bean salad

*ideas*
this is one of those staples
you can add green beans or a hard boiled egg
just having some boiled basics in the house is essential
you can add with a light green salad or sauteed kale

enjoy beauties
