Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds new potatoes, (chopped into bite-size pieces)
2 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 shallot, (chopped)
2 tablespoons capers, (reserve brine)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary
2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme
2 teaspoons culinary lavender buds, (or fresh chopped lavender buds and leaves)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Salt (and pepper)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each potato into bite-size pieces. Lay them on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with a little oil. Lightly salt and pepper.
  • Shake the pan to spread the oil around. Then roast the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Make sure to flip once halfway through. Add the chopped garlic and shallots to the potatoes 5 minutes before they are ready to come out of the oven.
  • Once the potatoes and garlic are roasted, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then toss them with the capers, fresh herbs, Dijon mustard and mayo. Mix well, and add a 1-2 teaspoons caper juice to season and thin out the dressing if needed. *Be careful with the caper brine-it's really salty! Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This is something I grew up eating. My mom made it all the time when I was growing up.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds small red potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon agave
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 lemons, juiced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
2 tablespoons fresh microgreens
Hot sauce, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil until tender and easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool until cool to the touch. Cut in half and set aside in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, agave, red pepper flakes, lemon juice and onion. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the potatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with the basil, microgreens and hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. A combination of waxy and starchy potatoes will give your salad the best texture. Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes are all good choices.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You want them to hold their shape when you toss them with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. You don't want the salad to be too heavy or greasy.
  • Add some spice to your salad. A pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika will give it a nice kick.
  • Garnish your salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Spicy potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try!
