Steps

1. 1

   Begin by placing the potatoes in a small pot and covering them with water, ensuring they are submerged by 2 inches. Season the water generously with salt. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain an active simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are easily pierced with a fork, which should take around 22 to 25 minutes. Once done, drain the potatoes and let them sit for about 5 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine shallots, oil, vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, and honey. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Season the dressing with salt to taste.

3. 3

   Combine the hot potatoes with the dressing, allowing them to sit and tossing occasionally until they reach a warm temperature and absorb some of the dressing, for a minimum of 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. Prior to serving, introduce tarragon into the potato salad mixture and mix thoroughly for even distribution.
