New Potato Salad
A few weeks ago my Sister in Law gave me a small bottle of olive oil containing chillis and garlic. It has become one of my favourite ingrediants. To make a very simple dish to accompany left over meat or chicken, or to go with a quiche just cook the new potatoes and stir in herbs or vegetables of your choice.
The one above I added chopped chives but it is equally lovely with chopped spring onions, red onions or dried tomatoes! It is such a refreshing change from the conventional potato saald made with mayonaise.
Supposidly we are approaching the warmer part of the year so instead of the root mashes/roast potatoes to go with a roast I will use this together with other vegetables, all in the same dish - so easy to prepare - I just steam all the vegetables, place in a large serving dish and add the olive oil!
As I write this I must admit I am feeling inspired to experiment with a variety of herbs/spices to add to the olive oil!
Hmmmm next week is O, sorted then O is for Olive Oil! - so come back to see what I am getting up to in the kitchen, all part of my Recipe a week challenge!!

ReplyDeleteMmmm! New potatoes. I love them with lots of butter. Come to think of it, I like most things with lots of butter. We can buy small red potatoes here, and they're almost as good. Very sweet. If you go to my blog, you will hardly be surprised at my choice of subject!
ReplyDeleteI love using olive oil....I get mine at Trader Joe's. I especially like to drizzle it over fresh asparagus with a little garlic salt and micro for a couple of minutes....Yummmmm.
ReplyDeleteYour picture of the new potatoes is great!
I love potatoes, new or not! lol
ReplyDeleteDelicious, love new potatoe salad !
ReplyDeleteLooks mouthwatering . . .
ReplyDeleteThe first potatoes and olive oil will be so extravagant ... this is the pure enjoyment! We have now already the first own asparagus - for me there is nothing more precious.
ReplyDeleteI will see what you think about this more oil ...

They do look delicious!! I am very fond of new potatoes, but prefer them with just butter and maybe a few Italian herbs. No chilli for me! I also like warm new potatoes with salad. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE new potatoes! Wow, do these look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, we just love herbed oils and herbed vinegars here. We grow our own herbs and make up batches of different mixes. And herbed butter...YUM!
ReplyDeleteThey look so GOOD!
ReplyDeleteNice to make your own mixture of spices.
YUMMY!
Happy Wednesday!
Mine is here

New potatoes are one of our favorites! Cut up and mixed with onion, garlic and other seasonings, brushed with butter and baked...heaven.
ReplyDeleteI use this kind of dish a lot Denise - I find the problem is finding really tasty new potatoes these days.
ReplyDeleteToday I tried a salad of butter beans, sliced red onion, chopped parsley and a tin of tuna in oil - it was delicious.
New potatoes, they look wonderfully waxy, gorgeous. I look forward to the Jersey Royals, although like The Weaver sometimes not as tasty as they used to be. I'm feeling hungry now.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder! I'd appreciated all the recipes you're sharing... now I understand your motive. ;-) New potatoes - Yum!
ReplyDeleteOlive oil with herbs and spices is perfect! And new potatoes are sooooo delicious! I love potatoes anyway, actually...
ReplyDeleteKisses from Nydia.
And have you tried vivaldi potatoes? They are divine.
