Cranks’ Potato Salad
Published in Salads
A very simple salad that depends on quality ingredients for its flavour.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg unpeeled baby potatoes
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 125 ml olive oil
- 1 bunch chives, finely snipped
- 5 ml fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 5 – 10 ml basil, chopped
- 75 g fresh Parmesan, shaved (or fairly course grated)
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
- Boil potatoes in salted water, until tender. Drain, refresh with a little cold water, then drain again thoroughly.
- Allow to cool slightly, then cut into halves or quarters, depending on size.
- Mix the olive oil with the finely crushed garlic, salt and pepper, and stir into the potatoes with all of the chopped herbs.
- Check the seasoning, and just before serving top with the Parmesan shavings, made by drawing a vegetable peeler over the block of cheese.
Serves 5 – 6.
