Potato Salad with Spring Onion Recipe
This potato salad with spring onion is creamy, lemony, and full of fresh herbs. Make it part of a sunny weekend grill or just lunch straight from the fridge, it's just delicious and a little good for you too!
Equipment
- 2 saucepans a medium and a small one, to cook the eggs and potatoes
- 1 Chopping board
- 1 knife
- 1 small bowl to make the dressing
- 1 whisk
- 1 large bowl to assemble the salad
Ingredients
- 750 g potatoes or use 1kg and save extras for another meal
- 5 eggs
- 3 large spring onions or 5 smaller ones
- 2 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 heaped tbsp crème fraîche
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon juice squeezed + extra lemon wedges to serve
- 4 tbsp dill and parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Boil Potatoes & Eggs
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and let them cool completely. Boil the eggs for 6 minutes, then cool under cold water and peel them.
Prep the Spring Onions, Herbs & Eggs
- Finely chop the spring onion (both white and green parts) and the fresh herbs. Chop the eggs into bite-size pieces (cut in half then in quarters, then make 2 more cuts).
Make the Dressing
- In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Dice the cooled potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
Assemble the Salad & Serve
- Toss everything together gently until the potatoes, eggs, herbs, and spring onions are all coated. Taste for seasoning and add more if needed. Garnish with extra dill and lemon wedges just before serving.
Notes
Potatoes should be added in cold water before cooking then brought to boiling temperature and allowed to simmer.
When you cook the potatoes, add a few teaspoons of salt towards the end of the cooking.
Potatoes seem to absorb the salt and lemon really well, so be generous!
This is a salad to make a day or two before if you have parties, because you can just store it in the fridge and have one less dish to think about!
