Amanda's Potato Salad

I remember when back in Malta we used to do a lot of BBQ's at our place or our friends' place and we (well Amanda) always used to prepare this delicious potato salad for everyone. It was our specialty and everyone loved it. My brother was one of its massive fans. Needless to say that it will be a great accompaniment to every BBQ dish whether it's a delicious steak or some crispy grilled veggies. It also can be made up to to 2 days in advance and stored covered tightly in the fridge. Give it a go and you will definitely try it again! You will need...

  • 500g potatoes
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
  • 180ml (1/2 cup) mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
  1. Peel the potatoes and chop them up into equal pieces (so they cook evenly). Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the chopped potatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer goes through. Drain, set aside and let it cool down to room temperature (we spread them on a tray and put them by an opened window to speed up the cooling process).
  2. In a blender or food processor, add the mayonnaise, egg and vinegar and blend until you get a smooth mixture. Transfer it into a large bowl. Add the potatoes and chopped onion to the large bowl and mix slowly until the all the potatoes are covered in the mayonnaise mixture.
  3. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley just before serving.

Enjoy!!
