Washington Red Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. medium-size Washington red potatoes
  • 1 oz. pancetta, diced
  • 1/2 small to medium sized onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 3 oz. dried figs, stems removed and chopped (1/3 of 9oz. package)
  • 1 1/2 oz. crumbled goat cheese (chevre), divided
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 green onion, sliced thin

Directions

  1. Scrub potatoes with vegetable brush under cold running water. Cut into 2-inch chunks (do not peel). Place potatoes in large saucepan and add cold water to cover completely. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside in large mixing bowl.

  2. In large skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté pancetta until crisp. Lift pancetta out and set aside. Add onion to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Stir onion, figs, half the goat cheese, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper into potato/onion mixture and toss to mix well. Cover and chill for at least 45 minutes.

  3. Stir in reserved pancetta and oil. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Top each serving with remaining goat cheese and green onions.
