Favourite potato salad recipes please

Recommended Posts

I made a potato and roasted pepper salad yesterday from a recipe found after a Google search, it was ok but I would like some more inspiration beyond mayo and chives.

 

We have loads of new potatoes at the moment but on warmer days don't always feel like a cooked meal, so for when summer finally comes for more than a day we will have loads of salads.

...and do not forget to make homemade mayonnaise - lovely and yellow with fresh egg yolk. I made some today and you can use lemon instead of vinegar in the mix.

 

So my potato salad this weekend (I have 40 people for a BBQ) will be new pots, chives & homemade lemony mayonnaise.

 

Let me know if you want the mayonnaise reciepe.

There is a whole thread on Mayo. Tracey - please add yours to it as well. I love lemony mayonnaise 8)

 

I like potato, rocket pesto and sun dried tomatoes - although my favourite is with lemony mayo. chives, small amount of finely chopped onion and potatoes.

Below is an adaptation of a recipe for Fennel and Cucumber Salad in The Beatrix Potter Country Cookery Book by Margaret Lane.

 

Boiled new potatoes, roughly chopped

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Half a large cucumber, diced

6 radishes, sliced

a root of fennel, sliced

1 teaspoon of mint, chopped

 

Mix together and make a dressing by shaking together in a jar 1 crushed clove of garlic, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, salt and pepper.

 

Serves 6-8 if you use enough potatoes!

I just made this old favourite at the weekend (from the Independent, May 2000)

 

heat 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 tbsp oil (not a strongly flavoured one)

add 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped, plus 1 medium chilli or flakes, fizzle for about 30 seconds without burning.

Pour oil mix over 1 stick lemongrass (finely chopped) and 1 heaped tsp finely grated fresh ginger in large bowl.

Add 1 tbsp soy sauce.

 

Coat cooked potatoes in this mix, sprinkle over 40 salted roast peanuts.

 

Serve still warm.

 

Try not to eat it all yourself!

Jacket potato salad is just wonderful.

 

Just bake your jacket potatoes as usual. Let them cool a bit, then cut them into chunks.

 

Sprinkle on quite a bit of sumak (a turkish spice: red in colour with a lemony flavour), + salt and pepper. Stir in olive oil.

 

Very simple, very tasty.
