This Potato Salad is the one from my childhood — creamy, tangy, and utterly comfort food. I always make it for barbecues and family lunches because it’s reliable, simple, and loved by everyone.
Ingredients
5 medium-sized potatoes I like red-skinned potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite-size chunks
½ small brown onion peeled and chopped very finely
6 tbsp full-fat mayonnaise
3 tbsp full-fat salad cream
¼ tsp white pepper this is a must – it can’t be replaced with black pepper
pinch salt
To Serve:
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives optional
pinch black pepper optional
Instructions
✅Place the potatoes in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 7-9 minutes until tender.
✅Drain the potatoes and leave to cool.
✅Place the cooled potatoes in a mixing bowl.
✅Add in the onion, mayonnaise, salad cream, white pepper, and salt.
✅Stir everything together to combine. Taste and add a little more seasoning if needed.
✅Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to a day) before serving.
✅Just before serving sprinkle with chopped chives and a little black pepper if you like.
