Lemony Potato Salad
PUBLISHED ON: 04.01.2010
This potato salad recipe does not get any easier to prepare, and with a mild lemon flavor it really wakes-up and compliments grilled meats.
Lemony Potato Salad
Serves 4-6
Recipe from Food Network
Ingredients:
2 pounds russet potatoes (note: I used small red skinned, without peeling), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water; bring to a simmer and cook until tender. Drain and cool slightly. Mix the mayonnaise and parsley in a large bowl. Grate in the zest of half of a lemon; add the juice of the lemon half. Fold in the potatoes and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Enjoy!

This sounds great. I'm thinking about making my own mayonnaise which would be perfect for a potato salad.

Okay if I sub some Greek style non-fat yogurt,do you think it would be good? I'm trying to cut back my mayo. Then I can do this potato salad for Easter!

how delicious! i would never think to add lemon to a potato salad!
Chris
That is an easy potato salad. Goes well with grilled meats? Too bad I never grill meats, ha ha.
Alicia Foodycat
I find potato salad to be a bit heavy sometimes. I bet the lemon really lifts it and makes it sing!

That really looks delicious. Very timely as well. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy Easter to you.

Thank you for reminding of that salad variation. The ideal sidedish for tender, hearty meat from the grill..
Chef Aimee
I am convinced that lemon is the best flavor accompaniment to ANY meal! What a great potato salad and perfectly timed for upcoming barbecues!

The simplest potato salads are the best. This looks like a great side for all those barbeques I plan on having if it ever warms up in Colorado.

I'm not terribly fond of regular potato salad but I could totally do this one and I think my kiddos would enjoy it, too. They're extremely fond of lemon in their savory foods.~ingrid

Love that the ingredient list is short and yields an awesomely yummy potato salad. I usually find them too… eggy, milky, sickening…but lemon in these totally fix that!
Claudia
Sometimes 'easy' lets the ingredients shine. Fresh and filled with spring.

Hi Velva, That potato salad really looks good. We had potato salad for our Easter dinner today (along with ham and baked beans). It was good–but I'll bet your potato salad is better. Thanks for sharing.Hugs,Betsy
Julie
Sounds delicious….love the lemon in there!

I love that classic American potato salad, but this looks so good, I want a nice big scoop of it. Looks easy and delicious. I think I'll give this a try.
