Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Wash 500 g potatoes (rattes, if possible). Put into a large pan and cover with cold water.
Stage 2 - 25 min.
Boil the potatoes until tender (a knife blade should go through them easily).
Stage 3 - 5 min.
Stage 4 - 8 min.
Peel the potatoes while still hot, slice into rounds and add to the bowl.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
Pour 6 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette) over and mix with a fork.
It is important to do this while the potatoes are still hot so that they absorb some of the vinaigrette. This gives them a melt-in-the-mouth texture.
