Fingerling Potato Salad
Traditional and easy, using small potatoes helps this potato salad cook a little bit faster. This serves 4 people as a side dish.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fingerling or small potatoes
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons apple juice (plain juice, nothing added)
- 2 small stalks of celery, diced small (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 small shallot, peeled and finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickles (OPTIONAL)
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and, while waiting, scrub the potatoes, pat dry, and cut them in half. Cover with a lid and simmer the potatoes till soft, but not mushy - about 10 minutes. They're ready when a fork can slide easily through the potato.
- Remove the pot from heat and drain. Transfer the potatoes to a colander and run under cool water, then dry by patting gently with a towel.
- Meanwhile combine the mayonnaise, dijon, vinegar, apple juice, celery, shallot, pickles (if using) and dill. Add the potatoes to the mix, stirring with a wood spoon or spatula till everything is combined, and chill for at least an hour or two.
- Taste the potato salad and add salt and pepper to your preference. I typically don't add salt, but love more pepper - about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon.
Notes
- The longer the salad is able to sit and chill, the better the flavor will be. I recommend at least 2-3 hours. However, I've eaten it immediately in a rush and it's still really good.
- This potato salad pairs well with any grilled meat or vegetables, as well as anything spicy! It's perfect for a potluck.
- I use Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Mayo. If you are vegan or egg-free, try my Egg Free Mayo.
- For pickles, I use Grillo's or here's a recipe for quick pickles.
