How to make the perfect Classic Potato Salad Recipe

Potato Salad Recipe

Prep: 20 mins

Cook: 20 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

• 800g new little potato
  
  
• 3 finely chopped shallots
  
  
• 1 tablespoon tiny capers (optional)
  
  
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons (optional)
  
  
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or to taste)
  
  
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
  
• 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
  
  
• a tiny handful of roughly chopped parsley leaves

Preparation:

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 mins until just cooked, drain, then cool.
   
   
2. Cut the potatoes into chunks, then put them into a bowl with the shallots, capers and cornichons, if using. Add enough mayonnaise to bind, then mix together the olive oil and vinegar and add just enough to give a little sharpness to the salad. Stir in the finely chopped parsley and serve.
