Keep skin on potatoes for earthy salad

It may sound a bit obvious, but for Pete Evans the key to a great potato salad is using the right potatoes.

“I love to use a small waxy variety for salad,” says Evans, an Australian chef, restaurateur and cookbook author. “Baby new potatoes in red or white, or fingerlings will work great, too. You do need to choose the right potato for the job.”

Of course, what you do with the potatoes matters, too. He says the only way to cook the potatoes is whole. And be careful how you dress them.

“I like the earthy flavor of the potato skin to come through my salad,” he said in an email interview. “For me that’s what can make an ordinary salad taste extra ordinary — skin on! Then don’t make the mistake of drowning the potatoes in a heavy mayonnaise. Vinaigrettes or just herbs and olive oil (particularly dill), salt and pepper are all you need for a quick and easy dressing.”
