The Best Potato Salad Recipe Ever
The exact quantities for this recipe are a bit difficult to say as it depends on your tastes. You can always add more or less.
BUT, what is not difficult to say is that you'll love this recipe!
The Best Potato Salad Recipe Ever
Ingredients:
1.5kg Waxy Potatoes (Kipfler & Dutch Cream are great) roughly chopped
4-5 free range eggs
4 Tbsp mayonnaise
4 Tbsp light sour cream
Small bunch of shallots (spring onions), chopped
Sea salt flakes
Fresh dill (optional), roughly chopped
pinenuts (lightly toasted)
Method:
1. Cover the potatoes with cold water, adding 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to the water. Bring to the boil and cook just until tender. Drain and allow to cool. Place in a large bowl.
2. Boil eggs until hard (about 3 mins), remove shell and cut in quarters.
3. Lightly toast the pinenuts in a little oil (be careful not to burn them), drain and set aside to cool.
4. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, cooled pinenuts and fresh dill. Mix well, and pour over cooled potatoes. DO NOT POUR OVER HOT POTATOES. Toss gently, then add egg and shallots and ensure mixed through lightly.
5. Chill for several hours or overnight before serving.
NOTE: this recipe tastes even better the day after!
Variation: You can add a little whole-seed mustard to the sauce, if you'd like to vary the taste. Also, this salad tastes amazing if you add a little sweet potato in place of some of the potato.
Serves: 4+
