This classic potato salad is delightfully creamy and chock-full of herbs and crunchy veg. A BBQ dinner’s best friend.
Potato Salads.
I chat about vinaigrette potato salads here and gush about how much I love them. I do, I really do. And if I had to choose one style of potato salad for the rest of my life, it would be one with a tangy vinaigrette. But there are those cravings where nothing but a creamy potato salad will do. For me, it must have egg and pickles otherwise it isn’t a true creamy potato salad. And if I can add fresh herbs to a dish, I will always take the opportunity. The celery and herbs lends a fresh green colour to this salad.
Your favourite mayo.
What’s your favourite mayo? Use it here. It will be delicious. But if your dietary restrictions allow you to try this potato salad with Kewpie Mayonnaise, I would strongly suggest you try it. Kewpie mayo is an absolute delight. It’s ultra creamy has a lovely tang. You can find it in the Japanese section of your grocery store.
