Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. Yukon Gold or new white potatoes
  • 1/4 c. radishes, trimmed and sliced thin
  • salt to taste
  • 3 Tbsp. chopped chives
  • 8 to 10 chive blossoms
  • 4 Tbsp. canola oil or mild olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

Method

  • Wash the potatoes and then, without peeling, immerse them in a pan of cold water.
  • Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on their size.
  • Drain, then run cold water over them until they are cool enough to handle.
  • Slice them into a salad bowl.
  • Add the radishes.
  • Sprinkle lightly with salt. Combine 2 tablespoons chives with the petals of one of the flowers and the oil and vinegar.
  • Shake well, then pour over the potatoes and radishes and toss.
  • Add more salt if liked, then scatter on the remaining chives and the petals from a couple of more flowers. Use the rest of the flowers as a garnish.
  • (The blossoms, which are edible and flavorful, can be omitted, but they look pretty and festive.)
  • Serves 4.
