Lemon Potato Salad With Mint image

This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds small waxy white or yellow potatoes, roughly about the same size
Juice of 1 lemon, more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts, more for serving
1/4 cup torn mint leaves, more for serving
1/4 teaspoon Turkish pepper, more for serving

Steps:

  • Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
  • In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
  • Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with dressing, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, top with additional lemon juice, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper.

I thought the salad was a little too sour. I would recommend using less lemon juice or adding a bit of sugar to balance out the flavors.

I thought the dressing was a little too thick. I would recommend using less mayonnaise or adding some milk to thin it out.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover carrots and celery, and I added them to the salad. It was a great way to use them up and it added some extra crunch to the salad.
