CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 pounds red potato
- 1/2 cup mild red or yellow onions -- finely chopped
- parsley to taste -- finely chopped
- chives to taste -- finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small onion -- finely chopped
- 3/4 cup lager
- 3 tablespoons malt vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
DIRECTIONS
- Cook red potatoes in boiling salted water until the point of a knife can be easily inserted, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove, and as soon as you can handle them, slice them, unpeeled, into 1/4" rounds. While potatoes are still warm, gently mix them with the onions, parsley and beer dressing (recipe follows).
- Do not overmix, or the potatoes may break into pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- For the beer dressing, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped mild red or yellow onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup lager, 3 tablespoons malt vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar; boil for 5 minutes. Place in a food processor with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. With the motor running, slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Add finely chopped parsley to taste, chopped chives to taste, and salt and pepper to taste.
