Potato Salad With Yogurt And Mint Dressing Food

MINTED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 15 mins or until, tender, then drain and cool. Stir together the garlic, yogurt, vinegar and sugar with some seasoning, to make the dressing. Can be made to this stage up to a day ahead.
• To serve, mix most of the spring onions and mint into the dressing, then pour it over the potatoes. Stir gently, taking care not to break the potatoes up. Scatter with the rest of the spring onions and mint to serve.

• Gently mix the dressing with the salad, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the tomatoes (and more olives if you like).

POTATO SALAD WITH YOGURT-AND-MINT DRESSING

Pour the mixture over the hot potatoes, toss and allow to cool to room temperature. Toss again with the scallions, garnish with mint and serve.

YOGURT AND SOUR CREAM POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Scrup potatoes, quarter and boil gently until tender, leaving skins on.
• Drain and pour into a bowl with cover.
• Chop celery (if using) and green onions and add to potatoes, stirring gently so as to leave potato quarters intact.
• Mix together in a small bowl, equal parts of yogurt, sour cream and mayonnaise--approximately 1/2 cup of each--along with salt, pepper and dill weed.
• Pour over potatoes, stir gently, cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Stir gently again, before serving, in order to thorougly coat potatoes with yogurt mixture.
• NOTE: Use additional yogurt mixture if salad seems too dry.

HEALTHIER POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 2.5-3cm chunks (step 1), so that they are all the same size and will cook evenly. Put them in a pan of boiling water. Once the water has returned to the boil, lower the heat slightly and cook for about 10 mins or until just cooked and still keeping their shape. Tip them into a colander to drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt, crème fraîche, mustard and milk. Add the spring onions, then most of the chives and tarragon to the potatoes (step 2). Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Spoon the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm (step 3), then toss gently together so that they are well coated but don't break up. Tip the potato salad into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining chives and tarragon. Serve cold - but the flavour is best if not served straight from the fridge.

CREAMY POTATO SALAD WITH YOGURT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, garlic, salt, mustard, olive oil, yogurt and mayonnaise (if using). Place the onion in a bowl, and pour on boiling water to cover. Drain immediately, rinse with cold water and transfer to the bowl with the dressing.
• Steam the potatoes above one inch of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat, and toss gently with the onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the remaining ingredients and toss together. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
