Ingredients

  • 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes, scrubbed, not peeled
  • 3 2/3 c. Dry white wine Salt, to taste White pepper to taste, freshly grnd
  • 1/2 c. Extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. Shallots, chopped
  • 2/3 c. Scallions, minced

Directions

  1. Boil the whole unpeeled potatoes in generously salted water till fork tender, 20-30 min, depending on size. As soon as you can handle the potatoes, but while they're still hot, slice them just under 1/2 inch thick with a very sharp knife.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, boil the wine till it's reduced by half. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and warm reduced wine over the hot potatoes; toss gently. Add in the extra virgin olive oil, tossing just till combined, and then add in the shallots and scallions. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  3. Serve at room temperature.

  8. Minced olives, chopped garlic, and cubed chicken or possibly turkey.
