Ingredients

Potatoes and Ramps

  • 3 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch ramps, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, and tarragon)

Dressing

  • 1 1/2 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to keep warm.
  2. Sauté the Ramps: While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the trimmed and sliced ramps and sauté until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar and continue cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper until well combined and emulsified.
  4. Toss the Salad: Place the warm cooked potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed ramps and chopped fresh herbs. Gently toss everything together with the prepared mustard dressing to evenly coat the ingredients. Toss while the potatoes are still warm to enhance flavor absorption.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the salad with additional fresh herbs and flaky sea salt to taste. Serve immediately or at room temperature as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Toss potatoes with dressing while still warm to ensure better absorption and enhanced flavor.
  • If you can’t find ramps, substitute with one bunch of leeks; sauté the leeks until tender and toss with potatoes using the same dressing.
