Why This Recipe is a Keeper!
I’m all about a traditional potato salad with the creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, mustardy kick and hard-boiled eggs like my mother’s award-winning Creamy Potato Salad or my Potato Salad with Horseradish Dressing. However, that style is not for everyone.
With over 100 4 and 5-star ratings, this French Potato Salad recipe is a delicious alternative for a change of pace or for people who don’t care for mayonnaise.
This French-style potato salad recipe combines Ina Garten’s French Potato Salad and Joel Robuchon’s, one of the most acclaimed French chefs in the world. And when a recipe calls for splashing warm potatoes with white wine, I’m all in!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:
Potatoes: I use a combination of “new” Yukon Gold and red potatoes for the color. New potatoes are young or early-harvested potatoes popular for their tender texture. They’re harvested before they reach full maturity, typically about two to three months after planting.
