Recipe information
Yield
serves 10
Ingredients
8 large eggs
3 pounds small red potatoes
Coarse salt
2 to 3 tablespoons muscatel wine vinegar or white balsamic vinegar
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
1 medium red onion, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup best-quality extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cover the eggs with water in a medium saucepan; bring to a full boil. After 1 minute, cover; turn off heat. Let stand 8 minutes. Rinse; transfer to ice-water bath.
Step 2
Cover the potatoes with water by 1 inch in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; add salt. Simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes (do not overcook). Drain the potatoes; let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
Step 3
Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Add vinegar to taste; gently toss. Stir in the parsley and onion. Gently tossing, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; toss until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Just before serving, peel and quarter the eggs, and arrange them on top of the salad.
