Potatoes with Vinegar and Sea Salt

2.8

(8)

We liked fleur de sel or Malden flaked sea salt best in this recipe, though other types work fine. If using coarse sea salt instead of flaked or fine, crush it lightly.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    20 min

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

3 pounds small (1 1/2-inch) boiling potatoes
2 1/2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar or cider vinegar
Flaked or fine sea salt to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 4-quart pot and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. (They will continue to cook after draining; do not overcook or they will break apart.)

    Step 2

    Drain potatoes and rinse under cold water. While potatoes are still warm, gently toss with vinegar and salt. Cool potatoes to room temperature, stirring occasionally, and gently toss with oil.
