WARM POTATO SALAD

Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to make the red onions more sweet or tangy. Try adding the capers to the lemon butter sauce to add an extra salty flavour. For a subtle flavour punch, add a splash of vinegar to the potatoes right after boiling and give them a little time to absorb. Wait for the potato water to boil before you add salt. This will make the salt crystals dissolve quicker and reduce the risk of your pans becoming pitted. Add extra flavour to your potato salad by adding herbs and spices to the water when boiling the potatoes. Add fresh herbs to any leftover potato salad to keep it fresh and flavourful for days.

As soon as you have the basic elements: potatoes and dressing, you can easily make small adjustments to create your own perfect recipe for warm potato salad. You can add almost anything you like: Celery, radishes, or bacon for crunch, hard boiled eggs for creaminess, and different fresh herbs for more flavour. If you do not have new potatoes, you can also use other types, but starchy potatoes, such as red skin potatoes or fingerling potatoes, are the best for warm potato salad as they contain less starch and therefore retain their shape better when boiling. Waxy potatoes will easily become mushy, which is not a good thing when you want to make a nice potato salad. You can add any flavour enhancer you want: garlic, parsley, coriander, thyme, mint, basil, rosemary, lemon juice, etc. Add it to the boiling water together with the potatoes. This lets the potatoes gain their flavour from the inside out, which gives you an even more delicious warm potato salad where all the flavours are distributed perfectly.

Red onion is always good and in warm potato salad it is no exception. In this recipe, we pickle them in a brine of vinegar and sugar to take the edge off their tanginess. The brine brings out sweetness as well as sourness, which gives the perfect result for your warm potato salad with red onion. The chopped capers contribute with a salty touch. You can adjust how many capers you add to make the brininess fit your preferences.

Maybe sweetcorn is not the first thing that comes to mind, when you think of warm potato salad, but we highly recommend trying it. The sweet and crispy corn kernels contribute to the flavour as well as the texture. Feel the small explosions from the fresh kernels – combined with the soft potatoes and the crispy and sour red onions, you get a perfect mix of textures to pamper your tastebuds.

Of course, dressing without mayo is perfect for those who do not like mayonnaise, but it is also a good solution if you are serving the potato salad at a summer party where hours of high temperatures and mayonnaise is not a good combination. This warm potato salad without mayo is lighter, but do not compromise on the essential creaminess we all want in a potato salad. Thanks to the butter, the creaminess is spot on, and the lemon juice adds a freshness that complements the potato salad very well. Whether you do not like mayonnaise or you swear by mayo as the king of creaminess, we recommend that you try this lemon butter dressing next time you make a creamy warm potato salad. You will not regret it!
