Nigella Potato Salad Recipe
Nigella Potato Salad is like a fancy version of regular potato salad. It makes your ordinary potatoes taste really special. In this blog, I will share with you a Nigella Potato Salad Recipe that is super tasty.
Ingredients
- 1 kg Salad potatoes
- 50 ml Rapeseed oil (cold-pressed)
- 10 cocktail cornichons pickled in vinegar (cut into ½ cm slices, plus 2 tsp liquid from the jar)
- 3 tablespoon Nonpareilles capers (plus 1 tsp liquid from the jar)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon English mustard
- 1 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- ¼ bag Dill (roughly chopped) (25g)
- ¼ bag Chives (finely chopped) (25g)
- 1 pack Smoked salmon with cracked black pepper and lemon wedges (180g)
- 2 bags Dolce romana lettuce
Instructions
- Steam potatoes until tender, around 45 minutes. Allow to air dry for 5-10 minutes.
- For the dressing, combine rapeseed oil, cornichon/caper liquid, vinegar, and mustard. Shake or whisk.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, cut them in half, and season generously with pepper. Pour dressing, and wait for warmth.
- Add cornichons, capers, most of the dill, and chives. Toss gently. Adjust sharpness with vinegar or liquid.
- Serve in a dish, sprinkle remaining dill and chives. Enjoy with salmon and salad.
Notes
- Cook the Potatoes Right: When boiling the potatoes, add a bit of salt to the water. It makes the potatoes tastier.
- Creaminess is Key: Don't be shy with the mayo and sour cream. That's what makes the salad creamy and satisfying.
- Herbs are Awesome: Fresh herbs like chives and parsley are your buddies. They add a splash of colour and lots of flavours.
