Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
- 4 lb fingerling or small boiling potatoes
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup finely chopped shallot
- 2 tablespoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard (not whole-grain)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart pot and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and cool slightly.
- While potatoes are simmering, whisk together sugar and 3 tablespoons vinegar in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
- When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices, adding to vinegar mixture as sliced and tossing gently to combine.
- Whisk together shallot, mustard, and remaining tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Add dressing to potatoes, then season with salt and pepper and stir gently with a rubber spatula.
