  • Salt and pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Potatoes ... Add the potatoes, broth, and cold water to a large deep saute pan. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, but NOT falling apart. You want the potatoes to keep their shape. I find that cooking them in a deep saute pan keeps the potatoes from breaking up during cooking. Once they are done, Drain, and return them to the pan to dry - you don't want watery potatoes, but you want to keep them warm too.

  • Step 2: Salad ... Add the peas, shallots, scallions, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Make sure to grate the shallots over the bowl so you get all the juice.

  • Step 3: Finish ... Add the potatoes to a bowl with the dressing and peas, chives, a good pinch of both salt and pepper, and lightly toss, trying to NOT break up the potatoes. If the potatoes are still warm, they will soak up all that wonderful dressing.

  • Step 4: Serve and ENJOY!
