Equipment

  • saucepan
  • French knife
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled, halved, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Gherkins finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon brine
  • 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion diced
  • 1/2 tsp Caraway Seeds
  • 1/4 cup Canola Oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 cup Celery diced
  • 2 Hard Boiled Eggs chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Dill chopped

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the potatoes, broth and 2 teaspoons of salt. Add enough water to just cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, 8-10 minutes.
  • Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and transfer to a large bowl. Add gherkin brine, 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • In an empty skillet, combine the reserved cooking liquid with onion and caraway seeds and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and stir well. Let sit, stirring every so often, until the liquid is absorbed and thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the oil, mustard and remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper until emulsified.
  • To the potatoes, add the dressing, celery, eggs, gherkins and dill, then fold until evenly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.
