shelb498ii

Potato Salad with Caramelized Onions is a humble tribute to pissaladière, the tomato-less pizza from Southern France. Like pissaladière, this salad requires just a handful of Mediterranean ingredients, and variations are possible.
Wines to drink with this dish:
Niçoise variation: Add anchovy fillets, hard-boiled eggs, and substitute Niçoise olives for the Sicilian. Do not add the grated Romano or Parmesan.Garlic lover's version: Substitute one of the onions for 5 cloves of garlic [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thinly sliced.With capers: Add 3 tsp. capers in place of or in addition to the olives.
With tapas, you could try a Catalan wine such as a Priorato.If you are making the Niçoise variation, pour a nice rosé from Provence.

Preparation:

Do not stir.Heat olive oil in a medium-sized heavy skillet. Add sliced onion and 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook over medium-low flame stirring often until onions are golden brown.Pour onions and oil directly onto potatoes. Do not stir.Sprinkle sliced olives onto potatoes.Add mustard to potatoes by evenly distributing small, teaspoon-sized dollops across top of potato and onion mixture.Now stir the ingredients gently with large wooden spoons, being careful not to break potatoes.Grate Romano or Parmesan cheese on top of salad.Let salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
It is easy to make, and assembling this salad comes with one small catch: the potato chunks should not be broken. To ensure they aren't, all ingredients must be poured and sprinkled evenly over the potatoes. One final, careful stirring at the end with the help of large wooden spoons will mix all the elements nicely without sacrificing the spuds.
