Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Stage 2 - 8 min.
Stage 3 - 40 min.
Steam 800 g potatoes.
Stage 4 - 5 min.
Chop 1 bunch parsley.
Stage 5 - 5 min.
Peel the potatoes while still hot, slice and put in a salad bowl.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Add the parsley to the hot potatoes, add 5 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and leave for 5 minutes.
Stage 7
It's important to do this because the hot potatoes will absorb some of the vinaigrette and parsley flavour, and so will became soft and tasty. Delicious!
Stage 8 - 3 min.
Add the bacon and cabbage, add more vinaigrette if necessary and mix well.
Stage 9
Serve immediately. It's better if the potatoes are still warm when the salad is served.
Remarks
You might like to try adding a finely chopped shallot with the parsley, or pouring a little dry white wine over the potatoes while they are still hot.
If you don't like bacon, you can simply leave it out.
If you don't like bacon, you can simply leave it out.

How to cook potato grenaille
The French call very small potatoes "grenaille". This is a typical way of cooking them: the tiny potatoes are pan-fried in their skins and make an excellent accompanient for meat. Grenaille can be made with any kind of potato; it is a question of size, rather than variety, though I think that firm-textured potatoes, such as rattes or charlottes, work best. I am using rattes in the photos. The cooking is a combined method: boiling first, then frying. This is quicker than using a single method. September 16th 2015468 K4.5 45 min.
