  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 heads butter lettuce, cut in fine chiffonade

Directions

  1. For the Idaho® Red Potato Salad: Set an immersion circulator to 85 degrees C. Divide the potatoes into 6 vacuum bags and add ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon olive oil in each bag. Vacuum seal and cook sous vide for 1 hour 15 minutes. Chill the potato bags in an ice bath when finished.
  2. Once cooled, use a 1-inch ring mold to cut cylinders from the longest side of each potato. Slice the cylinders into 3/8-inch medallions and keep chilled.
  3. For the White Anchovy Dressing: Add all the ingredients except oil to a food processor and blend. Slowly emulsify in the oil and chill.
  4. For Plating: Arrange ¼ head of lettuce chiffonade at the bottom of a plate. Arrange 9 potato circles on top of the lettuce. Very lightly sprinkle smoked paprika on top of the potatoes, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season lightly with kosher salt. Next, spoon about 2 tablespoons of dressing on top of the potatoes. Garnish with 1 teaspoon capers and about 5 slices pickled okra.
