Boiled potatoes, olive oil and green salad
Ingredients
For
4
personnes
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 teaspoons of olive oil (traditional, mild or strong flavour)
- Salad mix: rocket, lamb’s lettuce and Batavia lettuce
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil (traditional, mild or intense flavour)
- 1.5 tablespoons of wine vinegar
- ½ clove of garlic, crushed
- Salt, pepper
Tip
For this very simple yet delicious dish, you can choose your own olive oil and vary the flavours to suit your mood: - a subtle-tasting olive oil to accompany your light salad, with notes of dried fruit, with very subtle herbaceous notes – an intense-flavoured olive oil if you wish to add a bit of ‘pizzazz’ to your dish with pronounced herbaceous notes (artichoke, vegetable, leaf, tomato plant, …) and sometimes a slight bitterness – or an olive oil with a traditional flavour if you’d like to rediscover the flavours of yesteryear on your plate, with woody notes, a smoothness and aromas reminiscent of olives.
Instructions
Peel and then wash the potatoes.
- Cook them in 1.5 litres of salted water for 20 to 30 minutes (8 to 10 minutes if you’re using a pressure cooker).
- Next, make the dressing by mixing the garlic, salt and pepper with the vinegar, then add the olive oil.
- Serve the potato drizzled with a teaspoon of olive oil. The heat of the potato will then bring out all the flavours of the olive oil you have chosen.
Serve the potatoes with the mixed green salad dressed with the vinaigrette.
