Notes

Julienne : cut into pieces the size of matches

Vinaigrette : dressing made with 1 part vinegar / 3 parts oil. You can use lemon instead of vinegar. Salt and pepper. Use plenty of salt.

Potatoes : Use the finest and most waxy sort you can find. As a rule, the small varieties used for caramelized potatoes or asparagus potatoes.
