Side Dish

Potato Salad

Potato salad. This is a very delicious side dish. I like potato and I like salad too. This side dish is the combination of the two. I really like this potato salad and more importantly it is easy to make. I love potatoes. There are so many ways of preparing potatoes and I like to try out different way to prepare potatoes. If you love potatoes too (who doesn’t like potatoes? 😉 ), do check out my previous blog post on Oven Baked Potato Wedges.

The recipe I share today serves 2 to 3 persons. If you like to prepare more, you may refer to the original recipe from foodiecrush. However, the original recipe includes yellow mustard and celery seeds which I omitted in my recipe as I couldn’t find them 😛 .

Potato Salad Recipe

Recipe adapted from foodiecrush

Ingredients:

3 medium white potatoes, about 500 grams
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons diced celery
1 tablespoon diced scallion
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Methods:

Bring potatoes to a boil in large pot of cold water that’s been liberally salted.
Reduce the heat to medium high and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a pairing knife. Drain and let cool until just able to handle.
Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into large diced pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar and stir.
Allow the potatoes to cool for about 15 minutes. Add the celery and scallions. Chop one of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, salt and black pepper. Mix well into the potato mixture.
Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
