Recipe: Cold potato salad

With summer season here, the BBQ will be in full use and there is nothing easier than cold salads to have along side a BBQ burger.  Especially on a hot day when you really don’t want to have the stove in major use.  This is my favourite potato salad.

It’s inspired by a restaurant that I used to go to on Spark Street when I was working in the area many, many years ago.

And yes, it’s so simple family members have been known to say ‘um, you don’t peel the potatoes?’ – not in a bad way. They just can’t believe how simple it is.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 6-8 large potatoes (or a small bag. I like red or fingerling potatoes)
• Miracle Whip or Mayo
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard (this is the secret!)
• Chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions:

1. Don’t peel the potatoes. Wash and cut into bite size pieces.
2. Boil potatoes until soft.  Drain and let cool. Yes, some peels may fall off.
3. Add miracle whip (I didn’t post an amount because it depends on the number of potatoes etc, but start with a couple of large tablespoon scoops and add to your liking)
4. Add dijon mustard.  Mix well.
5. Add chives (optional).
6. Let cool further. Serve and enjoy!
