Hi friends!

In Alsace, potatoes are sacred!! 😉 And so, we have the best potato salad in the world! (I’m not exaggerating…)

And yet, here I am offering you another version: potato and sardine salad.

3 key ingredients for this potato and sardine salad

This dish revolves around three main ingredients:

– potatoes, obviously…

I recommend using a variety that holds up well to steaming, such as Amandine. You could also go with Roseval (red-skinned).

Pick a type that stays firm when cooked and is easy to peel.

– sardines in oil:

I used sardines from Conserverie Parmentier — really tasty. You could also go for tuna in oil, anchovies, or mackerel.

Whatever you choose, don’t overlook this ingredient. Its flavor is key in this recipe…

– the egg:

It’s poached in boiling vinegar water. Once the water and vinegar are boiling, stir a whirlpool in the center with the handle of a fork, then drop the egg (without the shell) in all at once. The swirling motion helps the egg take a nice round shape and a smooth surface.

Follow this tip and you can’t go wrong!
