Baby Dutch Potato Salad
During Summer, it's BBQ time a lot of the time (at least in our family), while sharing company with family and friends. And not only do we like to grill. I love delicious fish, meat, and vegetarian recipes, but we also love the side dishes. And I showed you the delicious recipe for a couscous salad with chives and cucumber. But I bet you'll also favor this baby Dutch potato salad.
A nice and easy recipe
What I like most about this recipe is that its plain simple. You'll only need to cook the baby potatoes. Then marinate them and leave them in the refrigerator to absorb all flavors. And before serving, you'll mix some fresh herbs through your salad.
What do you need for a new potato recipe?
To prepare this baby Dutch Potato Salad, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Dutch Baby Potatoes - Golden yellow potatoes (Baby Gold Potatoes). New potatoes or baby red potatoes will also do.
- Wine vinegar and olive oil - Gives a nice vinaigrette.
- Mustard - use smooth yellow mustard. It gives the vinaigrette a bit of spice.
- Chives and parsley - These greens will make this Dutch potato salad even better. You could also substitute them with dill, rosemary, or thyme.
Why use baby potatoes?
You can find baby potatoes in the supermarket, peeled and ready to cook.
But when they're in season, you can also find unpeeled new potatoes at the potato department. And because they are in season, they also have a lot of flavors (everything that's in the season got the best taste). So if you can get your hand on them, make sure to try this salad!
How to make an Easy Homemade Potato Salad
You can find a printable recipe with a step-by-step description at the bottom of this blog.
- Make a dressing by mixing vinegar, mustard, and olive oil and flavor it with salt and pepper.
- Wash the potatoes and cook until done. Drain and let them stand for 10 minutes. Then, cut them in half and put them in a bowl.
- Add the dressing to the warm potatoes and mix well. Put the baby Dutch potato salad into the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Before serving, add the sliced chives and parsley. Mix and serve.
Marinate your New Potatoes
Marinate this salad with white wine vinegar and a dash of mustard. You'll also add fresh herbs and a delicious olive oil (and get the best you can, because this will give a lot of flavors).
The flavors are better absorbed by adding the dressing when the potatoes are warm. And that will make the difference between a delicious and a superb salad!
