Moving on to this mornings iLoveMyBBQ.com blog we had another lovely side dish this weekend which was Chunky Potato Salad and so we decided to write up the recipe as it is soo easy to make.
You will need (to feed 5/6)
Small bag of new potatoes (if in doubt, around 25 of the little fella’s)
Mayonnaise (we go for healthy option cos Cairo is expecting)
Spring Onions (bunch of)
Chives (pack of from tesco, or a load from your garden)
Bunch of Mint (say, 10 large leaves)
How to make:
1. Pop a large pan of water on the cooker to boil and once the pan is boiling, add the spuds and cook for roughly 15-20 mins (don’t peel - just wash the spuds before)
2. Whilst your spuds are boiling, finely chop your mint, chives and spring onions and place in the bowl you will be serving the dish in and mix them all up.
3. Once the spuds are cooked drain and refresh them (refresh is just a posh way of saying let the cold tap run over them until the spuds are cold). If you are unsure that the spuds are cold in the middle, why not eat one, chef’s perks and all that.
4. Once the spuds are cold, chop the bigger ones into chunky pieces and then put them all into your mixing bowl.
5. Pour on some Mayo. It is difficult to say how much, it depends on your taste. We like enough to just have a little coating on, but some like it really creamy.
6. Mix everything together and then leave in the fridge for 30 mins (at least) to cool.
When you get it out of the fridge you will immediately be hit with the smell of the mint, fricking awesome!
