Ég er búinn að setja niður allt kartöfluútsæðið og þetta vorið voru það aðalllega hollenskar möndlur en líka slatti af gullauga. Í morgun rakst ég á kartöfluuppskrift í New York Times – ég er að verða eins og tengdamamma, elda hið áhugaverða samdægurs. Kartöflusalatið meðlæti með nautasteik kvöldsins. Notaði graslauk og mintu úr garðinum, kreisti sítrónu og blandaði safanum saman við olíu, krydd og salt. Aldeilis ljómandi gott – og mitt fólk bað um að ég eldaði svona máltíð aftur. Þá er kokkur kátur.
Lemon Potato Salad With Mint
Christopher Testani for The New York Times. Mynd líka úr NYT.
This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.
INGREDIENTS
Yield: 8 servings
2pounds small waxy white or yellow potatoes, roughly about the same size
Juice of 1 lemon, more for serving
1½teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
½cup extra-virgin olive oil
½cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts, more for serving
¼cup torn mint leaves, more for serving
¼teaspoon Turkish pepper, more for serving
PREPARATION
Step 1
Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1½-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
Step 3
Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with dressing, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, top with additional lemon juice, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper.
