Herbed Potato Salad

Just as the summer was starting I began to plan a simple grilling menu I would use when entertaining guests. I knew I would alter the items slightly depending on when we would entertain and who, but one item remained.

This herbed potato salad always worked with the menu choice. The delicious, but not overpowering, salad taste would pair perfectly with just about anything.

These tender boiled potatoes marinate in a garlic, olive oil, and vinegar mixture highlighted with rosemary, parsley, and thyme. This wholesome salad with its bold leafy-green flavor has no mayonnaise and is equally delicious as traditional potato salads.

Though I think this delicious salad will transpire through the colder months I’m already dreaming of switching over to mashed potatoes as a slight chill in the air creeps in. I recommend trying this best mashed potatoes recipe first.

    This is delicious with all the fresh herbs and vinegar. I love making the potatoes in the morning and then placing them in the fridge to assemble with dressing just before dinner. Easy and everyone liked it.
