Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
• 3 pounds mixed red and white new potatoes
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey, warmed
• 4 large shallots, thinly sliced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups fresh basil leaves, loosely packed

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Cook the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and, as quickly as possible, while they’re still hot, chop in half and put in a large bowl.

2. Whisk the sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, and honey together. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the dressing as necessary for your taste as well with more buttermilk, mayonnaise, or honey. Toss the potatoes with the dressing, shallots, and basil. Serve hot, warm, or cold (chilled a few hours in the refrigerator).
