potato salad

On Christmas day I am responsible for the potato salad. Each year I do the same old boring thing, boil, mayo, peas, done. This year I decided to try something slightly different, a risk I know, but I think it was really delicious. 

Ingredients 

• 3kg desiree potatoes
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh continental parsley
• 1 tbs Dijon mustard
• 1 tbs fresh lemon juice
• Salt and black pepper
• 4 green shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced

Method 

1/ Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside for 15 minutes to cool slightly. Cut into halves or quarters.

2/ Use a fork to whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, parsley, mustard and lemon juice in a large bowl until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.


3/ Place the potatoes and green shallot in a large serving bowl. Spoon dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until potatoes are well coated in dressing.
