Martha Stewart's potato salad

Potato salad is a classic dish that has graced family tables for generations. Its origin dates back to German and Central European cuisine, where potato-based salads were common due to the accessibility and versatility of this tuber. Over time, this preparation spread and adopted variants in different Latin American countries, where it is commonly known as "ensalada de papas" in Mexico, "ensalada de papa" in Colombia, or "ensalada rusa" in countries like Argentina and Chile, although the latter usually includes additional ingredients like carrots and mayonnaise.

Potato salad is not only a popular side for meats and barbecues, but it is also an ideal standalone dish for warm days due to its freshness and simplicity. Martha Stewart's recipe adds a special touch with ingredients like dry vermouth and celery seeds, which give it unique aromas and a balanced flavor with slightly sweet and herbal notes.

How to Make Martha Stewart's Potato Salad

To begin, place the potatoes in a large pot.

Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover them by 3 inches.

Add salt to the water.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and let simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove from heat, drain the potatoes, and sprinkle with dry vermouth.

Let rest until cooled.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sugar, sour cream, and celery seeds.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Pour the dressing over the potatoes.

Add the chopped cornichons, scallions, and flat-leaf parsley.

Gently toss to combine all the ingredients.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve at room temperature.
