Creamy New PEI Potato Salad
12-16 small PEI new potatoes, halved 2 tbs (30 ml) sour cream 1 ½ tbs (23 ml) mayonnaise 1 shallot, minced 1/2 tsp (2 ml) lemon juice 2 tbs (30 ml) chives, chopped 1 tbs (15 ml) fresh sage, chopped salt and pepper to taste
Gently scrub potatoes to remove dirt and loose skin. Cut potatoes in half if necessary.
But if you ask any Islander, they’ll say it’s simply about the taste!
Place potatoes in a pot of lightly salted cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for approximately 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and allow to cool. In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, red onion, lemon juice and chives and fold in potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
We’ve collected our trio of favourite potato salad recipes for you to try. One is a traditional Island favourite, a warm German, potato salad. Another is my preference, mustard potato salad with hardboiled eggs.
