Swedish Potato Salad

Swedish Potato Salad is a cold salad made with boiled baby potatoes mixed with a tangy dressing of crème fraîche, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Chopped herbs including parsley, chives, and green onions add freshness, while capers, red onion, salt, and black pepper provide savory and piquant notes. The salad rests briefly before serving to blend the flavors.

Description

This potato salad starts with boiling whole baby potatoes until firm but cooked through. After cooling, the potatoes are cut into halves or chunks. The dressing is made by thoroughly combining crème fraîche, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, chopped parsley, chives, green onions, capers, diced red onion, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Once the dressing is well mixed, the potatoes are added and gently tossed to coat evenly.

The salad is finished with extra herbs sprinkled on top for added color and freshness. Allowing the salad to rest for about 10 minutes before serving helps the potatoes absorb the dressing flavors. This salad presents a creamy, tangy, and herbaceous profile with tender yet firm potatoes, making it a versatile side dish suited for various meals.
