IRISH POTATO SALAD

A potato salad about potatoes - that tastes like potatoes! The magic is to use baking potatoes, fresh cooked, skin on, peeled, and diced while still warm and sprinkled with just enough red wine vinegar to enhance the potato taste. Chopped celery, sweet onion and hard boiled eggs add texture and flavor. The mayonnaise, mixed with the crumbled potato and egg yolk resuts in a creamy, dreamy salad. For the really - really best potato salad, make this an hour or two before serving, cover, let stand at room temp. - then add the mayonnaise and mix.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't get mushy in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: Before adding the potatoes to the salad, let them cool completely. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing. Use a light dressing, such as a vinaigrette or a mayonnaise-based dressing.
  • Add plenty of fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, and chives, add a lot of flavor to potato salad. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled. This will help keep the salad refreshing and flavorful.
