Ingredients

FOR THE VINAIGRETTE

  • 1/4 cup cider-vinegar
  • 10 cornichon pickles or petite dill, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill minced (you'll need another 2 tablespoons for when mixing the salad)
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil

FOR THE SALAD

  • 2 lbs red new potatoes
  • 4 celery ribs finely chopped
  • 8 large radishes trimmed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream (for passing)

Instructions

MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, cornichons, minced dill, shallots, mustard, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until the salt and sugar dissolve.
  • Add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until the dressing is well blended.
  • Taste, and adjust seasonings, if necessary.

PREPARE THE POTATOES

  • Have a large bowl of ice water ready.
  • In a large pot, combine the potatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Simmer until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and then carefully add to the ice water.
  • Let cool, then drain again and pat dry.
  • Cut each potato into halves or quarters.

ASSEMBLE THE SALAD

  • Whisk the vinaigrette to recombine, then add the potatoes to the bowl.
  • Add the celery and radishes and toss gently.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the salad with the remaining chopped dill.
  • Serve, passing the creme fraiche at the table.
