Young Potato Salad with Herring and Honey-Mustard Dressing
Salads • Russian
Description
Potato salads are usually heavy and filling, typically made in winter. But young potatoes turn everything upside down: they are delicious on their own, and when paired with lightly salted herring, their flavor reaches a powerful crescendo. To keep the tubers firm and intact, it's best to cook them whole, keeping the skin on (which, by the way, is quite edible for young potatoes) and serve them while still warm. In summer, fresh cucumbers and dill, which can be plucked straight from the garden, add freshness to this salad, and honey-mustard dressing works perfectly with any potato salad—add it to any recipe, and you won’t go wrong.
