    | 1. MAKE THE FRENCH POTATO SALAD: | 2. Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until they are just cooked through. | 3. Drain in a colander and place a terry-cloth kitchen towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 more minutes. | 4. AS soon as you can handle them, cut in 1/2 (quarters if the potatoes are larger)and place in a medium bowl. | 5. Toss gently with the wine and chicken stock. | 6. Allow the liquids to soak into the warm potatoes before proceeding. | 7. MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE: | 8. Combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. | 9. Add vinaigrette to potatoes. | 10. Add scallions, dill, parsley, basil or Italian seasoning, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir until just combined. | 11. Serve warm or at room temperature. | 12. GRILL THE TUNA AND PREPARE THE PLATTER: | 13. To grill the tuna, get a charcoal or stovetop cast iron grill very hot. | 14. Brush the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. | 15. Grill each side for only 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. | 16. The center should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry. | 17. Arrange the tuna, haricots verts, potato salad, tomatoes, eggs, olives, watercress, capers and anchovies, on a large flat platter, if used, or you can serve each person individually. | 18. MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE: | 19. Combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. | 20. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. | 21. Drizzle some over the fish and vegetables and serve the rest in a pitcher on the side. | 22. Bon Appetit! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
