I
make Potato Salad quite often. But I don't use a recipe and pretty much just
free form it. This is one way I did it.
I
quartered some small potatoes – they had been washed so I didn't bother to peel
them. Anyway they say there are good
vitamins in the skin, don't they?
I
put them into a pot of cold water along with 3-4 whole peeled garlic
cloves. Then boiled them for 10 minutes
until tender. How long they will take
will depend on the size of the pieces. I
start potatoes cooking in cold water because I understand that you cook
vegetables that grow underground from cold and the ones that grow above ground
from boiling. But my better half is not
convinced by this theory and doesn't think it makes any difference.
I
chopped up a few cornichons (mini gherkins) and some red onion (just a few
slices off an onion). I then mixed
through that mayonnaise, salt and pepper and the crushed garlic (once it could
be taken out of the potatoes when cooked).
So
you drain your potatoes and then put them into your dressing while they are
still hot because the flavours meld better.
And you are done.
Lovely salad. Is there any substitute for cornichons?
