Laura Vitale's Classic Potato Salad
Adapted recipe from Laura Vitale's
Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS
4 medium sized potatoes (roughly 2 pounds)
2 hard boiled eggs (I used 3-4 eggs)
5 baby dill prickles (I omitted)
2 stalks of green onion (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill (I omitted)
1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar (I used Japanese rice vinegar for sushi)
Dressing:
1/2 cup of mayo (I substituted it with homemade tzatziki sauce)2 tablespoons of sour cream (I substituted it with homemade plain low fat yogurt)
2 teaspoons of yellow mustard
2 teaspoons of dried parsley
2 teaspoons of dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon of paprika powder
1 teaspoon of chopped garlic (roughly 1 clove)
1 and 1/3 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
STEPS
- Cut potatoes into half with skin on. Halve the potatoes and put into a metal container. Steam the potatoes till you can push a fork easily till the end of the potato. (I used my electric food container to do this so I can't tell you how long you need to steam)
- Remove the potato skin under cool running water. It should be easy to remove the skin.
- Simply cut the potatoes into dice (do not have to do this very accurately).
- Drizzle rice vinegar over the potatoes and mash with your fork. You do not have to mash till everything is mushy. Do according to your preference, whether you want partially chunky or completely mushy.
- Prepare the dressing sauce: Add all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix well. It should taste very salty but don't worry. After it is added to the potatoes, the taste will be 'neutralized'.
- Add chopped green onions and mashed (or sliced) eggs. Toss everything together with the potatoes, you can even mash them with your fork if you want to.
- Drizzle the dressing sauce. Mix well.
- Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours prior serving for best taste.
- Serve.
This tastes just too good! ;)
I modified Laura's recipe and I really think this tastes very good even without the mayo
Of course, with the mayo, the taste should be doubled.
Anyway if you want to stay slightly healthier, choose my version then.
