Australian Style Potato Salad

NorthwestGal's Note:

This is a recipe that I found on the inmamaskitchen website, posted by Margaret Walker, which I am posting here for the Zaar World Tour event. It appealed to me because it is very similar to the potato salad recipe that my mom made for our summertime picnics and potluck gatherings. There is a note at the berginning of the instructions that states there are many varieties of deli-style mustards, and it is best that you not use a smooth mustard for this recipe, but rather you should use a mustard that has a trace of seed still in it.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 6 large potatoes , rinsed in cool water
• 1 onion , chopped
• ½ cup fresh parsley , chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro , chopped
• 1 teaspoon deli-style mustard
• ½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 hard-boiled eggs , chopped
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Gently boil potatoes until a skewer will penetrate to the centre. Turn off heat, pour off water and fill the pot with cold water. Leave until potatoes are quite cold. Lift from water and peel off outer skin of potatoes. Chop potatoes into even sized cubes and place into a bowl with onion, parsley and cilantro.
2. In small bowl mix together the mustard and mayonnaise. Add to potatoes with chopped eggs, and desired amount of salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
3. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Very nice salad that I really enjoyed with the fresh herbs! I did add just a touch of dill relish. Thanks! Made for the French Herb of the Month tag-Parsley!

Made as directed except I used less dressing. I grew up with hard cooked egg in potato salad and thought it was the Texas or Southern way of going it. It's really home style to me and just what a summer burger calls for. Simple to make and should be enjoyed by the whole family.

A delicious variation on potato salad. I cubed my potato first and gently steamed it in the microwave,before adding a good hot grain mustard and whole egg mayo (not that horrible creamy stuff I have discovered here in Oz!!). I loved the herbs and the egg made a great addition. Well worth making again!
