ROTW | Homemade summer potato salad

 

 

 A little bit of a simple recipe but one I absolutely adore. For many of you who are really well seasoned cooks this will be a pretty basic & beginners dish. But hey ho, I thought I'd share what has fast become a house favourite here in the Leeds Man Den.

So, what you'll need:
(serves 2-3)
20 baby potatoes
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
pinch of Pepper
1/4 tsp Chilli
1 Red onion
1 tbsp Light Mayonaise

Step 1: Prep your veg!
 Chop each of your potatoes into bite size pieces, this ensures they cook quickly & its a no fuss eat. also finely chop your red onion ready for softening in a pan later.

Step 2: The Cooking!
Allow your potatoes at least 15 minutes to cook in boiling, lightly salted water, until soft & cooked through. Whilst you're waiting for your potatoes, fry your onions in a pan adding a 1/4 teaspoon of hot chilli power for a little bit of a kick - If you're not a fan of chilli this bit isn't essential but it gives a slight bit of heat that I personally love.
Once the onions are softened, set a side & once cooked through, drain your potatoes.

Step 3: Bring it together!
Grab a serving bowl & transfer the drained potatoes & softened onions, mixing them together well. You can then add the table spoon of light mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
(The garlic salt is just for flavour, again if you dislike this, its not essential, I just find it to be tasty with both chilli & garlic added)
Once everything is in the bowl, mix well & add a few twists or a pinch of black pepper to taste.

I served my potato salad still warm with a Salt & Chilli chicken breast & a size of rocket salad.

This recipe, although unbelievably simple, is an amazing side dish to so many main meals or lunches. I've found myself leaning toward this even more since the weather took a turn for the glorious. And its perfect with grilled/BBQ meats or fish!
