🍴 Serving suggestions
I usually serve this easy potato salad as part of a barbecue or buffet, alongside my lamb, feta & mint burgers, tuna pasta salad, curried rice salad, and green salad.
It's also great with air fryer chicken breasts and courgette & feta burgers!
📖 Variations
- Up the spice by adding a teaspoon of chili flakes.
- Add some veggies such as tinned sweetcorn, chopped red peppers or cherry tomatoes.
- Don't like coriander? Garnish with chopped parsley instead.
- Feeding a crowd? Make a double batch!
- Can't get hold of baby or miniature potatoes? Peel and chop the same weight of floury white potatoes into bitesize chunks. Cook as directed but reduce the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. Drain and mix with the dressing before the potatoes start turning grey!
🥡 Storage
The potato salad can be kept in the fridge (covered) for up to 3 days. It's not suitable for home freezing.
