Green Garlic Potato Salad
Description
This salad uses whole golden Idaho potatoes cooked in salted water, then peeled and cooled before cutting into bite-sized pieces. The olive oil and salt enhance the potatoes’ natural sweetness, while the green garlic (or alternatives like chives or green onions) contributes a subtle, fresh garlic aroma unlike raw garlic’s sharpness.
The potatoes’ texture is tender yet intact, providing a comfortable bite. The simplicity of ingredients highlights the quality of the potatoes and the green garlic's distinct flavor.
This dish can be served soon after preparation but benefits from resting an hour or two to let the flavors meld. It's best consumed fresh as refrigerating the salad can alter the potato’s flavor. It fits well as a side during meals where a lighter, garlic-infused potato salad is desired.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes do not peel, Golden Idaho® variety
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or more, good quality)
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt (or sea salt, to taste)
- 1 bunch green garlic chives, or green onions, leaves
Instructions
- Scrub/wash the Idaho® potatoes and place in a pot of cold, salted water (about one teaspoon of salt) and bring to a boil, then simmer gently over medium high heat until cooked.
- Drain and let cool slightly, then peel. Place in a bowl, and allow cool completely.
- Meanwhile, chop the green garlic.
- When the potatoes have cooled, cut them into smaller pieces (I cut the smallest potatoes into halves, and the larger ones into thirds.)
- Now, drizzle generously with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt if needed, and toss in the green garlic. Gently mix or toss to make sure the flavors of all the ingredients blend together well.
Notes
- Flavors improve if the salad rests for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Best enjoyed the day it is made, as refrigeration changes the potato flavor.
- Scrub potatoes well before boiling; peeling after cooking is easier.
