Classic Potato Salad

a bowl of homemade classic potato salad made with chives, parsley, cucumbers, pickles, eggs and radishes
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  25 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup Persian cucumbers, diced
  • 3/4 cup pickles (sweet or dill), diced
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped
  • 5-6 radishes, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp stone ground mustard
  • 1/4 cup juice from pickle jar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • fresh ground pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil.
  2. Scrub and clean potatoes. Leaving skin on, cut potatoes into 1.5-2 inch pieces.
  3. Add potatoes and cook until they can be pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop them from continuing to cook.
  4. When potatoes are completely cooled put them, along with chives, parsley, cucumbers, pickles, eggs and radishes, in a large bowl.
  5. In a small bowl whisk all dressing ingredients until smooth. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss with a large spoon until potatoes are completely coated.
  6. Garnish with extra chives, parsley and radishes. Enjoy!
