Steps:
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil then add the potatoes. Return to the boil and cook for 15 minutes. The potatoes should be just tender to the point of a knife. Drain in a colander and cool for 5-10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, trim the roots from the spring onions then slice the white bulb ends. Reserve the green stems. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan, add the mustard seeds and cook until they start to jump and pop. Add the chopped spring onion and curry paste. Cook, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes.
- Tip the mixture into a large bowl then stir in the yogurt and mayonnaise with plenty of salt and ground black pepper. Now you have a choice: for everyday you could the keep skins on salad potatoes, but for entertaining it's 10 minutes well spent to remove them - they look better and take on the flavour of the dressing more easily.
- Chop all but 2 of the green spring onion stems and add to the dressing along with the potatoes and celery and carefully fold everything together until evenly coated. Reserve the remaining stems in water. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill until ready to eat.
- To serve remove the potatoes from the fridge a good hour before serving so they return to room temperature. If the consistency of the dressing looks a little thick, thin it with a splash of milk or water. Pile the salad into a serving bowl. Cut the reserved spring onion stems into long shreds and scatter them over the salad along with a few mustard seeds.

POTATO SALAD WITH CURRIED MAYO
This MILDLY SPICED salad is my favourite potato salad. I love curries and this recipe uses Madras curry paste as part of the dressing. I like to take this salad with me to work or university for a tasty packed lunch. It will yield 4 servings as a main dish, or 8 as a side. This is the suggested side dish with Roast Salmon with Spiced Coconut Crumbs (Recipe #141533), which is printed in the 'Good Food Magazine' (January 2003).

Steps:
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Boil in a large pot of salted water until cooked, approximately 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 T. peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the cashews until they are toasted and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the cashews, season them with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat it to medium. Add the celery and onion and saute until the vegetables are almost tender, about 8 minutes. Add one chile pepper (the other is reserved for garnish), garlic, ginger, curry powder, tumeric, and cayenne. Saute the mixture until the spices are toasted and the garlic is cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and 1/2 of the cashews, reserving the other half for garnish.
- When the potatoes are cooked through, drained, and cool enough to handle (but still warm), cut them in half and then into half-rounds. Toss the warm potatoes with the warm curry mixture. Allow the potatoes to cool thoroughly.
- Gently stir in the chopped egg, 1/4 Cup chopped parsley (reserving the other 1/4 Cup for garnish), mayonnaise, and salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Add more mayonnaise if the mixture is too dry.
- Garnish with the remaining ingredients: one sliced chile pepper, 1/2 Cup toasted cashews, 2 sliced eggs, 1/4 Cup chopped parsley, and the reserved celery leaves. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.
Tips:
- For the Best Flavor: Use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold and russet potatoes. This will give your potato salad a creamy and fluffy texture.
- Cook the Potatoes Properly: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Cool the Potatoes Completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will help them absorb the flavors of the dressing better.
- Make the Dressing in Advance: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and chives, will add a burst of flavor to your potato salad.
- Taste and Adjust the Seasoning: Before serving, taste the potato salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or curry powder.
Conclusion:
Potato salad with curried mayo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With its creamy, flavorful dressing and tender potatoes, this potato salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try.
