Creamy Potato Salad

Creamy Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 2kg diced boiled baby potatoes, cooked in salted water
  • 1/2 cup chopped gherkins
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup (approx 3 stems) sliced spring onion 
  • 1/2 cup chopped dill 
  • 1 small finely chopped red onion 

Dressing - approx measures to start, adjust accordingly to taste

  • 3 heaped tablespoons whole egg mayonnaise
  • 200g sour cream
  • 1 heaped tablespoon wholegrain mustard
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • Salt to taste 
  • LOTS of freshly cracked black pepper

Method:

  • I used baby white washed potatoes, cut them in half if they’re super small or 4 if they’re larger. (Bite size pieces)
  • Wash & cover them with cold water & 1 tablespoon of salt.
  • Bring them up to a rolling boil, cook until fork tender. This should take around 8 minutes after boiling but check around 4 minutes & monitor them, being careful not to overcook. 
  • Drain in a colander, run some cold water through them & allow them to cool completely. Keep in mind residual heat continues to cook them so don’t let them soften too much in the boiling water.
  • Whisk dressing ingredients together, set aside. Chop all your ingredients & add them to your potatoes along with the dressing. Using a spatula so you don’t break them, gently mix. 
  • Garnish with more spring onion, dill, onion &  sliced pickles. 
  • This can be made in advanced & refrigerated until ready to serve, tastes better the next day!
