Warm Potato Salad Recipe
Warm Potato Salad Recipe is a comforting and tasty side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs small potatoes Yukon Gold or red
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
Wash and Cut Potatoes
- Wash potatoes thoroughly. Cut into bite-size pieces. Keep skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Boil the Potatoes
- Place potatoes in a saucepan. Cover with water. Add pinch of salt and boil for 15 minutes until tender.
Prepare the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Drain the Potatoes
- Once cooked, drain potatoes in a colander. Keep them warm to absorb the dressing better.
Mix Dressing with Potatoes
- Pour warm dressing over potatoes. Gently toss to coat evenly. Use a spatula to avoid breaking potatoes.
Add Onion and Herbs
- Add chopped red onion and parsley to the potatoes. Mix lightly so flavors blend without mashing potatoes.
Adjust Seasoning
- Taste and add extra salt or pepper if needed. Warm potatoes absorb flavor well, so season gradually.
Optional Garnish
- Sprinkle chopped chives or green onions on top. Add extra parsley for color and freshness.
Serve Warm
- Transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Serve immediately while still warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes or fingerlings for even texture and presentation.
- Substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Add crumbled bacon for a smoky, savory touch.
- Mix in steamed green beans or peas for a hearty vegetable variation.
- For tangier taste, increase vinegar slightly or add lemon juice.
