Red potato salad is a delicious side dish that delivers in both the flavor and texture department. Red potatoes are ideal for salads because of their firm, waxy consistency and mildly sweet taste. And I love the fact that they do keep their shape in the salad and not fall apart .
Yes, they hold up well when mixed with other ingredients and lend their vibrant red hue making the final product more visually appealing. With every forkful, you actually get bites of potato rather than a creamy cold mash.
Some like cold potato salad , if you fall on that camp , you can make it ahead of time and let the flavors come together, it tastes much better the next day , with layers upon layers of flavor. For me , it just depends on other variables – warm or chilled works just fine with me. Am more about the flavor ! The color and aromatics may seem pungent, but flavors make you stay.
Speaking of taste, am always adjusting as I go , a little bit of this, a little bit of that . For the herbs you can play around with them . I have used fresh thyme, parsley , and dill. Go easy with the thyme it might over power the other herbs . And if you want to leave them out as well that’s fine too! Better be safe that sorry Just use this homemade creole seasoning here to add more flavor.
If you are curious about sweet relish , it’s a combination of minced cucumber, bell pepper , sugar,vinegar and other spices , depending on individual or brands preference . It adds not only flavor but sweetness to the potato salad. Available in most supermarkets in the U.S. As always adjust to suit your taste-buds. Enjoy!! [/mmtl-text][/mmtl-col][/mmtl-row]
