What does summer mean to you? I'm sure for every person reading this there would be a different answer. One of the many things that summer means to me is picnics at the beach and potato salad. I found this potato salad recipe when 'Lil Burnt Toast and I ventured to Urban Harvest for some of our weekly groceries. I discovered this recipe in their weekly newsletter so I decided to deviate from my regular potato salad recipes and try something "new to me".
Prized Potato Salad is born in the More Than Burnt Toast household!!!
**"New to Me" Potato Salad**
2 lbs Nugget potatoes, quartered
3/4 cup mayonnaise *
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic scapes
5 hard cooked eggs
2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp ground mustard
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 celery ribs, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup julienned sweet red peppers (optional)
***********************
Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce hear; cover and simmer for 12 - 14 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool for 30 minutes. Slice eggs in half (discard yolks or save for another use). Cut the whites into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add the potato, egg whites, onion, celery, garlic curls, red pepper and parsley; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled.

ReplyDeletepotato salad comes in so many different combinations of ingredients, that you could create a new one every day!
ReplyDeleteI've never made potato salad. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a real issue with eating cold potatoes...
So any potato salad is "new to me"!!
I really like the look of this - but I LOVE your mayo sub. I'm going to start using that all the time since I can't stand mayo.
ReplyDeleteThe potato salad sounds delicious, but I want to try that substitution for mayonnaise! I'm not a mayonnaise hater, but it's always good to find interesting substitutions!
ReplyDeleteOh Val, that potato salad sounds great. I love potato salad but every time I try and make it I under cook the potatoes???
ReplyDeleteThere we go again with potatoes!!!! He, he, he... you know all kinds and all possible combos, don't you? Since I love them too... thanks for the potatoes spread :D
ReplyDeleteI'm having a party at my blog, want to have a drink?
Well its def "new to me" as well Val...nice touch with the yogurt as part of the dressing.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good on a summer evening.
ReplyDeleteOh Val always the Potato Ho aren't you!
ReplyDeleteLovely jubbly :) I am still looking for those scapes!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't found a favorite potato salad recipe. This looks like a great one! I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThat looks GOOD Val!! I would gladly dispose the yolks & substitute the mayonnaise.I'm always eager to check out your 'potato' posts; love 'em! :0)Deeba
ReplyDeleteThis potato salad looks good! I really need to get around to trying a potato salad.
ReplyDeleteVal, you know this potato salad looks great when *I* want to eat it...because I hate mayo! :) The yogurt sounds like a good sub, though. I hope this isn't a Cook's Illustrated recipe that you modified, though...LOL!
ReplyDeletepotato salad is perfect for so many occassions. a good recipe is worth its weight in gold. this one looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSummer in a bowl! Looks delicious, Val! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious especially with the mayo substitute and celery seeds.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really good one. Mmm any potato salad makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteOoh... that looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeleteYet another yummy potato salad. You are surely the queen of potato salads :-)
have a wonderful weekend,
Nora
I like the sound of that mayonnaise substitute. What are nugget potatoes? New potatoes?
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty similar to my own go-to recipe for potato salad and while I've yet to find a potato salad I didn't like...I'm always up for trying new flavor combinations or ingredients. Potato salad is just one of those things that it's hard to get too much of.
ReplyDeleteI love a potato sald with mayo. I make something similar and had posted it on my blog a couple of months back.:D
ReplyDeleteFunny you would post this - I've been craving potatoes - highly unusual since I don't normally even eat them - then I see your blog and say - ok, that's it - tomorrow I'm making potato salad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder.
Can there ever be enough potato salad recipes....no!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks de-lish!!!
You always do potatoes proud Val!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I love potato salad at the beach too, it is what you just have to do during summer! I am glad you guys are having a great summer together!
ReplyDeleteI love salads and potato salad is wonderful! Yours looks delicious Val mmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteHope you are keeping well sweetie and I'm glad to be back blogging once again - missed you & your mouth watering creations :)

You don´t believe it, in this exactly moment I am cutting and blanched potatoes(that I found in an incredible price) to freeze.U right one of summer dishes are potato salad, better in front of a beach :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very similar to my 'style' of potato salad. Thanks for including the eggs. I'm always defending the fact that I add hard boiled eggs to potato salad! It wouldn't be the same without them.
ReplyDeleteVall I really love Potato salad and this look fab! xGloria
ReplyDeleteNew to you? This is EXACTLY how we make potato salad in the hood. We use regular yellow mustard cuz the hood folks know nothing about ground mustard - but this is how we do it at EVERY BBQ. The technique though lies in how you cut the potatoes. Not too big...small chunks so when you stir it up some are kinda mashed just a bit. Yup, good eating indeed. And the celery and bell peppers are not optional - they're required - lol.
