Light and Lemony Potato Salad
from Gooseberry Patch's Fresh from the Farmstand
Submitted by Gail Prather from Hastings, NE
Well, blow me down! I actually made a dish with the word "light" in the title. And, I liked it! I do enjoy oil-based potato salad and cole slaw. They're always so light and refreshing. Plus, at potlucks, they're just a safer bet than a mayonnaise-based dish. This potato salad was tangy with the lemon juice and mustard. My husband and I both enjoyed it. If it seems a little too tangy to you at first, don't worry. The flavors will mellow as it chills in the refrigerator.
Light and Lemony Potato Salad
2 lbs. new redskin potatoes, cut into wedges
1-3/4 tsp. fine sea salt, divided
1/4 c. olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 green onions, very thinly sliced
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
In a large saucepan, cover potato wedges with cold water; add one teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until just barely tender, about 10 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking. Drain potatoes; rinse lightly with cool water and let stand for 5 minutes. Potatoes should still be warm. While potatoes are cooling, combine oil, lemon juice, mustard, remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together until creamy and emulsified. Add the warm potatoes, green onions and parsley to dressing; toss to coat. Serve at room temperature or cover and chill until serving time. Serves 6.
Tangy and delicious!

Lemon and mustard sound awesome in this dish, you can't beat a good potato salad...

I love light potato salads like this. I did one last week that was Julia Child's and it's so easy and flavorful. Love mayo based, too, but these types I can make more often. I will try this one next time.
