For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the vinaigrette. Fresh herbs are key to this recipe! Consider adding chives, dill, or even a hint of thyme for a personalized touch. The type of potato matters. Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or fingerling potatoes hold their shape best in this salad. If you don't have beef consommé, chicken broth can be substituted.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the potatoes and cook until they are tender but still hold their shape, approximately 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl to cool slightly.
02
Step
10 mins
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them (optional, you can leave the skin on for added texture) and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds. Place the sliced potatoes in a separate large bowl.
03
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, tarragon vinegar, chilled beef consommé, finely chopped green onions, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. This vinaigrette will be the soul of your salad.
04
Step
5 mins
While the potatoes are still slightly warm, gently pour the vinaigrette over them. Toss delicately to ensure each slice is coated without breaking the potatoes. The warmth helps the potatoes absorb the flavors beautifully.
05
Step
30 mins
Allow the potato salad to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Alternatively, cover and chill for a refreshing, cooler salad. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
