Recipe:
- Cook the potatoes: Slice the potatoes in quarters, or in half for the smaller ones. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water and add a good pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork to blend and emulsify. Add the dill, red onion, and cornichons. Mix to combine.
- Finish the salad: Add the warm potatoes to the bowl of dressing. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly, add the parsley and season to taste. Serve warm or chilled.
