Ingredients
  • 2 lbs red bliss potatoes, sliced
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ c. red wine vinegar
  • 2 T butter
  • 3 oz. prosciutto or similar cured ham (in the pictures I used a German Westphalian ham), chopped
  • 1 c. chopped celery
  • ½ c. chopped sweet onion
  • ½ c. chopped chives
  • 1-2 T truffle oil
  • 1 T lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Place potatoes in saucepan with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 6 minutes. Drain potatoes or lift them out with a slotted spoon, reserving broth. Return broth to same saucepan and boil until reduced to ⅓ cup, about 13 minutes. Place potatoes into a large bowl and pour reduced broth over potatoes, toss to coat. Add vinegar and toss to coat.
  2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan. Add prosciutto and sauté until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer prosciutto and butter from skillet to bowl with potatoes. Add celery, onion, and chives to potatoes. Gently toss to combine. Combine truffle oil and lemon juice in a small bowl, drizzle over potato salad, gently toss to coat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional truffle oil, if desired. Serve at room temperature.
