LEICHTER KARTOFFELSALAT

SUMMER POTATO SALAD



To serve 4


6 medium-sized boiling potatoes (2lbs.) 2 tsp. prepared Düsseldorf-

scrubbed but not peeled style mustard, or substitute

1 cup finely chopped onion 2 tsp. other hot, prepared

2/3 cup chicken stock, fresh or canned mustard

1/3 cup olive oil 2 tsp. salt

1 TB white wine vinegar 1 tsp. freshly ground black

pepper

1 TB fresh lemon juice



Drop the unpeeled potatoes into enough lightly salted boiling water to cover them completely. Boil them briskly until they show only the slightest resistance when pierced with the point of a small, sharp knife. Be careful not to let them overcook or they will fall apart when sliced. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then peel and cut them into ¼” slices. Set the potatoes aside in a bowl tightly covered with aluminum foil.


In a heavy 2-3-qt. saucepan, combine the chopped onions, stock, oil, vinegar, prepared mustard and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.


Pour the sauce over the potato slices, turning them about with a spatula to coat them evenly. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature, then taste for seasoning and serve.
