The Greek Food » Salads » Potato salad with mustard

Years ago I remember when I was working in  a beer restaurant in Athens where we served all kind of food –but mainly german- where I was obsessed with the potato salad of the chef. It was so filling and tasty that I could eat just that for days.

Sometimes I try different kind of salads that can be accompanied with my food and even if the typical greek salad is my favourite, it is good to mix it sometimes.  Don’t know the history behind it but I don’t think the Greeks have the copyrights of the potato salad even if it is widely used also.

So I decided to make my own first attempt in a potato salad and i have to say I was quite proud of it.

 POTATOSALAD WITH MUSTARD

INGREDIENTS

• 5-6 potatoes
• 1 onion
• ½ bunch of parsley
• ½ cup of oil
• A small teaspoon of English mustard
• Salt and pepper

METHOD

Boil the potatoes peel them and cut them into cubes.

Put them in a big deep plate and add the onion the bunch of parsley ½ cup of oil , salt and pepper Stir them for a while with a spoon and then add the English mustard.

Continue to stir until all the ingredient go around. Be careful not to over do it and make mash potatoes instead. Ideally you should be able to see the potatoes and not be melted.

Serve them with any kind of meat or as a starter maybe(? ) . The spicy flavour of the mustard is unique together with the potatoes.
