Endless Summer Potato Salad
- 6 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 cucumbers (each about 9 inches long)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons scallions, mostly the white part, minced
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, minced
- 1 tablespoon curly parsley, minced
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 ounce jar of pimentos, drained and chopped
- In a large pot of water, cook the potatoes until tender but not mushy (still firm). Cool, peel, and cut into thin round slices.
- Peel the cucumbers. Using a julienne tool or mandoline (Benriner), julienne the cucumbers until you get to the seeds. You'll have long, thin slices that are the length of the cucumber. Put into a colander, sprinkle with a little salt and sweat out excess water. Save the cucumber water.
- Put the reserved cucumber water, mustard, scallions, mayonnaise, vinegar, tarragon, parsley, and olive oil into a blender. Blend until it becomes a smooth emulsion. Add black pepper to taste.
- Gently (I use my hands) fold the cucumbers into the potatoes.
- Next, fold the sauce into the potatoes and cucumbers.
- Finally, fold the minced pimento into the salad.
