Steps

1. 1

   Begin by rinsing the potatoes under cold running water to eliminate any dirt, using your hands to scrub gently. Proceed to peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters or eighths based on their size. Submerge the potato pieces in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Season with salt according to your preference and simmer until the potatoes are tender yet slightly firm, which typically takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, carefully drain the potatoes before using them further in your recipe.

2. 2

   Combine the potatoes and shallots in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Begin by combining the egg yolk and vinegar in a food processor equipped with a steel blade. Turn on the motor and gradually pour in the vegetable or olive oil. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to your liking. Incorporate the dressing into the potatoes while they are still warm, then garnish with parsley before serving either warm or at room temperature.
