It’s one of those recipes that I’ve never been sure whether to write about. It’s so simple, and it’s not even made with posh ingredients like crème fraiche, lemon zest and Greek yogurt.
Nope, this is the potato salad from my childhood. My dad’s version that I go back to all the time.
It’s one of those recipes that you test for seasoning, and then can’t help but scoff 3 more spoonfuls before you’re ready to share it with everyone else.
Peel potatoes and chop into bitesize pieces, then boil them for about 7-9 minutes, until tender. Drain and leave to cool a little (they don’t have to be completely cooled).Place the potatoes in a bowl with finely chopped onion, mayonnaise, salad cream (this is a UK condiment, but I have got a recipe for homemade salad cream if you can’t find it) white pepper (yes it MUST be white) and a little salt.Stir it altogether, then cover and refrigerate until fully chilled (at least 30 minutes, up to overnight).
My personal favourite way to eat this is on a crusty roll with slices of roast beef. Believe me, you haven’t lived until you’ve had a potato salad and roast beef sandwich. Anyway, I’ll stop now and leave you with this yummy Easy Creamy Potato Salad!
