Lemon Potato Salad
Report
Recipe video above. You don't need mayo to make a terrific potato salad! The secret is to marinate the potatoes so they suck up all that flavour!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 kg / 2 lb baby potatoes (Note 1)
- 2 tbsp salt (for water)
- 1 cup green onions , sliced
- 1/4 cup parsley , finely chopped
Dressing:
- 5 tbsp / 75 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup / 65 ml lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (1 large lemon)
- 1 garlic clove, large, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Dressing: Shake in a jar.
Potatoes:
- Halve so they are about 2.5cm / 1" pieces (cut large ones into 3).
- Bring 4 litres / 4 quarts water to the boil, add salt. Add potatoes, bring back up to the boil then reduce to simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until just cooked - don't let them overcook or become too soft, they will keep cooking from residual heat.
- Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl.
Potato Salad:
- While potatoes are hot, pour over half the Dressing. Use rubber spatular to gently stir.
- Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, even overnight.
- Add green onions and parsley, pour over remaining Dressing. Carefully toss with rubber spatular, then serve. Great warm or at room temperature, and it's also great the next day.
Notes
- This recipe will work fine with any type of potato. Starchy and all purpose potatoes suck up the flavour better than waxy ones, but even waxy potatoes are fine. Just make sure you cut them to the prescribed size and don't overcook otherwise they will crumble when tossed.
- Add Ins / variations: other fresh herbs like chives, basil, thyme or rosemary (go easy on these, they are strong), dried herbs, bacon (!!), parmesan, rocket/arugula, sun dried tomatoes. Give it a Mediterranean spin by adding oregano and/or feta!!
