The Perfect Potato Salad

Creamy, earthy, salty, peppery, tangy, sweet, aromatic potato salad. Rocks my world every time! There are a lot of recipes out there and tons of potatoes to choose from but for me it’s pretty simple.

Here’s how I like mine prepared…
2 pounds of banana fingerling potatoes (cooked whole in simmering water; roughly 30 minutes)
1/2 cup mayo
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 peeled and shredded carrot
1 minced shallot
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
a few turns of fresh ground pepper and a teaspoon kosher salt

When the potatoes are done, drain and cut into chunks. Place in bowl and incorporate the remaining ingredients with warm potatoes. The trick is to keep the potatoes warm while making salad. It will allow for the dressing to be absorbed.Really tasty with grilled pork, lamb, hamburgers, smoked eggplant or simply on it’s own!
