Warm French Potato Salad Recipe

Steps

1. 1Prep. Wash the potato skins thoroughly. If they come good and clean, you can leave them on, otherwise peel them off. Cut the potatoes into 1" (25.4 mm) chunks and put them in a large pot.
2. 2Cook. Cover them with cold water so they are at least 1" (25.4 mm) below the surface. Bring to a boil with the cover off, add the salt, and then reduce the heat so the water simmers for about 15 minutes until they are tender. Drain.
3. 3Mix. Put the oil and thyme into a large bowl and mix. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and coat them with the oil. If you are not going to serve them right away you can chill them, but the oil will clump, so bring them to room temp before serving. Just before serving, sprinkle on the large grain salt. You can add the salt earlier, but it will dissolve. The taste will be just fine, but if you salt just before serving you'll have some crunch and bursts of salt flavor, sort of like pretzels.
4. 4Serve. Serve immediately while still warm.
