French Potato Salad

This classic French potato salad is an elegant, dairy-free alternative to the traditional creamy version. By using a vibrant dressing of dry white wine, sharp Dijon mustard and salty capers, the dish achieves a sophisticated flavour profile that feels both light and indulgent. The secret lies in dressing the red-skinned potatoes while they are still warm, allowing them to soak up the infusion of herbs and vinegar for a more intense savoury finish.

Perfect for summer garden parties or as a make-ahead side dish for a Sunday roast, this versatile salad is naturally healthy and full of texture. The inclusion of spring onions adds a fresh crunch, whilst the lack of mayonnaise makes it an excellent choice for outdoor dining and picnics. Serve it at room temperature to fully appreciate the balance of acidity and oil.

How to make French Potato Salad

Whisk first 7 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 35 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pot. Place pot over low heat until liquid from potatoes evaporates, about 2 minutes.

Cut warm potatoes into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Add to dressing. Toss gently to coat. Let stand at least 1 hour at room temperature. Toss again and serve.
