I went to a party recently where everyone had to bring something for the meal. I opted for potato salad because who doesn't love potato salad? I looked online and couldn't find a recipe I really liked or thought was simple enough. So I devised my own. I used 1.75kg of new potatoes to service 10 people, so that is the quantity I'll give here. Halve it for a side dish for a small family dinner and you might get leftovers (although don't count on it!)
Ingredients (serves 10):
1.75kg new potatoes (baby pots, salad pots, any you like)
1/2 cup each of the following:
Finely chopped parsley
Finely chopped chives
Roughly chopped radish
Finely chopped spring onions
A few tablespoons of good quality mayonnaise (I use Sainsburys Taste the Difference mayo)
A pinch of salt and a good grinding of fresh cracked black pepper
Wash the new potatoes and boil them until they are tender. When cooked, drain and leave for around 10 minutes to dry off a bit more and to cool slightly. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the other ingredients. Stir well. You may wish to the mayo a spoonful at a time and mix and repeat, until you reach your desired level of mayo-ey-ness. Let sit for 10 minutes then refrigerate. If covered it will keep in the fridge for several days and in fact it will taste even better the next day!
