Steps:
- 1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool for 20 minutes. Cut the cooled potatoes in 1/2 inch pieces. Whisk lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and toss to coat. Just before serving, add scallions and mint to the salad and toss gently. Additional lemon juice and salt may be added to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when cooked. Avoid starchy potatoes, like Russets, as they tend to fall apart.
- Cook the potatoes properly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Lebanese potato salad, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Don't skimp on the herbs: Herbs are what give Lebanese potato salad its distinctive flavor. Use fresh herbs whenever possible, and don't be afraid to use a lot of them.
- Let the salad rest: After you've mixed all of the ingredients together, let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Lebanese potato salad 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.
