Ingredients
For the potatoes:
- 4 small potatoes or baby potatoes
- ½ tsp salt
For the dressing:
- 1 small onion chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 1/8 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
- For this old-fashioned potato salad, take 4 baby potatoes and wash them well.
- Slice them into small rounds, about ¼ inch thickness, with the skin on.
- Place the potatoes in a pot of water, season with salt.
- Bring water to a boil and then turn down the heat and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
- You can also pressure-cook the potato slices for 1-2 whistles on high. Once the pressure releases, drain the water and place the potatoes in a colander.
- Now, prepare the salad dressing. Finely chop an onion.
- To a mixing bowl, add ½ cup mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and cream cheese (or sour cream).
- Season with salt and pepper. Add a dash of lemon juice and mix well.
- Add the chopped onions to the prepared salad dressing.
- Put in the potatoes. Add cilantro.
- Gently stir to combine, taking care not to mash the potatoes.
- Serve Creamy Potato Salad chilled or at room temperature with barbequed chicken or grilled fish.
