My Mummy-In-Law makes the best Potato Salad that I have ever tasted. Its soft lemony, crunchy, sweet-ish and sour all at once - it just depends on what you're biting at the very minute you're eating the salad. This is how you make it.
Ingredients:
- 1kg to 1.5kg of Potatoes, peeled and cut into rather chunky pieces. Use good potatoes that are suitable for boiling - ones that don't flake too much and hold sturdy if you much about with them a lot.(Or if you live in England and can buy those lovely washed Baby New Potatoes, just boil it as it is.)
- Big red sweet onions, sliced into crescent moon shapes. I usually use 2 medium sized onions for this amount of potatoes.
- A handful pickled gherkins. Yeeaaashh, those tiny cucumber pickles.
- A handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley of equal amount to the above-mentioned pickles.
- Juice from a whole lemon.
- A big jar of mayonaise.
- A huge glug of olive oil.
- Salt to taste.
Instructions:
- Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until tender enough to poke with a fork but not until it breaks (means its too soft.)
- Drain and transfer into a bowl/tupperware with a cover. Immediately squeeze the lemon juice onto the hot potatoes.
- Add in the onions, pickled cucumbers/gherkins, parsley,mayonaise and olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Add salt to taste.
- Let it cool thoroughly before putting it in the fridge to cool even more (if you like Cold Cold Potato Salad).
- You can serve it hot-ish, cool, or cold. Enjoy!
Here the salad is served with some grilled meat.
