Basic Vinaigrette
The perfect topping for a crisp green
salad, this can be varied by changing
the flavor of the oil or vinegar, or
by adding herbs.
Makes about 2 cups
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
½ cup wine vinegar or lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Place the garlic, mustard, vinegar, salt,
and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix on
Speed 3 until well blended, 30 seconds.
With the mixer running, add the oils in a
slow steady stream, about 1½ minutes;
continue to mix until totally blended.
(If vinaigrette is made ahead and
separation occurs, remix on Speed 3/
medium until blended.)

Garlic & Chive Mashed Potatoes
Old-fashioned comfort food at its best.
For basic mashed potatoes, omit
the garlic and chives.

3 pounds russet or Yukon Gold
potatoes
4–6 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
¾ cup whole milk

¼ teaspoon freshly ground white or
black pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut into¾-inch-
thick slices. Place the potatoes, garlic,
1 teaspoon kosher salt, and wine vinegar
in a 3¾ quart saucepan and cover with
cold water by 1 inch. Cover loosely and
bring to the boil over high heat, then
reduce heat to medium high and boil
gently until potatoes are tender but not
falling apart, about 18 to 22 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, combine
milk, half-and-half, butter, and ¼ cup
of the chives in a Cuisinart

butter is completely melted. Keep warm.
Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic,
return to the saucepan, and place over
