POTATO SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS AND LEMON
This is a great salad for picnics, get-togethers or potlucks(contains no mayonnaise). It's just a great potato salad. I love fresh herbs and I enjoy using them in my recipes every chance I get. I found this in a Bon Appetit "Deliciously Light" cookbook, and it justly describes this salad.I have taken liberties with this recipe, therefore it's not the same as in the cookbook. Times do not include time to bring water to a boil.

GRANDMA'S CREAMY POTATO SALAD
My grandma makes the best potato salad, but she doesn't use a recipe! So I watched while she put together "a little of this and a little of that" and jotted a recipe that comes close. The creamy dressing also works well for making deviled eggs.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked. Avoid using starchy potatoes like Russets, as they tend to become mushy when boiled.
- Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from overcooking, bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until they are tender but still hold their shape. Drain the potatoes well before adding the dressing.
- Use a good-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good-quality brand. Look for mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain artificial ingredients.
- Add plenty of herbs and lemon: Herbs and lemon add a bright, fresh flavor to the potato salad. Use a variety of herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, and tarragon. And don't be shy with the lemon juice – it really brightens up the flavor of the salad.
- Let the salad chill: After you've made the potato salad, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Conclusion:
This creamy potato salad with lemon and fresh herbs is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a potato salad recipe, give this one a try – you won't be disappointed!
