Dilly Bean Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 shallots, halved lengthwise, very thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 6 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (or more) mayonnaise
  • 1 large pinch of smoked paprika
  • 3 cups trimmed watercress, purslane, or wild arugula, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup Dilly Beans , cut crosswise into 2" pieces
  • 2-3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled, quartered
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or celery leaves

Instructions

  1. Place shallots in a small bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar and a large pinch of salt; set aside.
  2. Cook potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes well; transfer to a large bowl. Lightly crush potatoes with the back of a large spoon; transfer to a large bowl. Add shallot-vinegar mixture to hot potatoes and toss to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise and smoked paprika in a small bowl; add to potatoes and toss to combine. Fold in watercress, beans, and eggs and season to taste with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired. Garnish with parsley. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Return to room temperature before serving, if desired, stirring in additional mayonnaise if dry.
