Young Potato Salad with Herring and Honey-Mustard Sauce
6 servings
60 minutes
Usually, potato salads are heavy, filling, and prepared in winter. But young potatoes turn everything upside down: they are delicious on their own, and when paired closely with lightly salted herring, their flavor reaches a powerful crescendo. To keep the tubers firm and from falling apart, it is best to boil them whole, without removing the "jacket" (by the way, it is quite edible for young potatoes) and serve while the potatoes are still warm. Fresh cucumbers and dill, which can be picked straight from the garden, are responsible for the summer in this salad, and the honey-mustard dressing goes with all salads involving potatoes without exception, add it to any - you can't go wrong.
