  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together oil, mustard, vinegar, shallot, parsley, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes and onion and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature. To store, refrigerate, up to overnight.

Cook's Notes

If you don't have sherry vinegar, try cider or champagne vinegar instead. Use your favorite fresh herbs in this potato salad to make it your own.

I'm not a fan of potato salad, but something about this recipe really appealed to me. And my instinct wasn't wrong: it was delicious.

Different culinary arts colleges offer different types of specialties therefore it is important to select the college that matches one?

When planning to join a culinary school, a student should consider the costs of enrolling with one. Before deciding on a suitable school, he or she should conduct a thorough research over the internet in order to compare the cost of culinary school as well as the fee structures.

@JCalise - you can certainly use another vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar, White Wine Vinegar, Champagne Vinegar will all work nicely. I would not recommend Balsamic unless you use WHITE Balsamic. Regular balsamic vinegar is a bit dark and would take over the salad. (I've seen a white fig-infused balsamic that would be wonderful!)

Can I use another vinegar if I don't have sherry vinegar?

This potato salad is wonderful! There's no mayo so it's good for potlucks. Fresh herbs make everything better. Such is the case with this recipe. Tarragon could easily be substituted for the thyme. NUM!
