Spring
Potato Salad
“Simplicity”
is the best advice I can give to those wanting to know how to create delicious
food.” Jodie Mo
Ingredients:
Coarse salt
(such as kosher or sea salt)
4 red
potatoes
2 medium
carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
½ cup frozen
(or fresh) baby lima beans
½ cup of
frozen (or fresh) green peas
1 (15oz) can
of artichoke hearts in water (or frozen if you can find them)
Freshly
ground pepper
2 egg yolks,
at room temp
¼ cup olive
oil
½ cup
vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves
put through a press
1 lemon
juiced
½ t. dried
tarragon
Instructions:
Bring a large
pot of water to a boil and add a liberal amount, 2-3 tablespoons, of salt (no,
this
will not all go into your food, but it will season everything you cook in
it. Trust me.)
Add the
potatoes to the water and boil until just tender, but not mushy.
Remove them
to a colander, rinse with cool water and then dice into cubes and add to a
large
bowl.
Meanwhile add
in the carrots, boil for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Remove them
to the colander, rinse with cold water, and add them to the potatoes.
Continue with
the lima beans, which should take about 5 minutes, and then to the peas, which
should only need a minute or two.
Rinse both
under cold water and add to the potatoes and carrots.
Throw the
artichokes in the water to heat up and remove any tinny taste and then add to
the rest of the vegetables.
While your
vegetables are blanching, beat the egg yolks until foamy, then while whisking,
very
slowly drizzle in the oil (mix the two oils together in a measuring cup
first).
The mixture
should be very thick (like mayo!).
Once all of
the oil is absorbed stir in the garlic, tarragon, half the lemon juice and
season with
salt.
Add the mayo
to the vegetables and gently stir to combine.
Season with pepper and additional salt and
lemon juice if needed.
Refrigerate
for a couple of hours or up to 3 days.
