POTATO SALAD

Today Potato Salad. One of my favourite salads. It is a classic in the United States. I just love it. There are many variations. All of them delicious. Let’s make one.

Ingredients:

3 potatoes

1 stalk of celery

1 clove of garlic

1 shallot (you can also use regular onions)

Some salt to taste

Some freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons mayonnaise sauce

1 teaspoon mustard

First we will prepare the potatoes. Depending on the kind of potatoes you use, you can leave the skin on or not. Use your favourite kind of potatoes. When the skin is not too thick I usually leave the skin on. Cut the potatoes in pieces, not too small pieces. Boil the potatoes in water with a bit of salt. Make sure the potatoes are not overcooked. But you do not want them to be under-cooked either. The time you have to be cooking them will depend on the kind of potatoes you are using. When they are ready, remove them from the water and reserve.

While the potatoes are being boiled, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients. Chop the shallot, the celery and the garlic. It is a good idea to add the leaves of the celery.

When the potatoes are cool, add the vegetables. Then add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some herbs. The ones you prefer. You can add some dill, thyme, rosemary…

Then add the mayonnaise sauce and the mustard. Mix well. Do not add too much mayonnaise sauce. At least I prefer it like that.

Once you have it prepared, cover it and store in in the fridge. Refrigerate it for two hours at least. Then, it will be ready to serve.

It is healthy. It is the perfect side. The perfect salad. Enjoy!
