Country Potato Salad

This Country Potato Salad is creamy and colorful with all the different flavors coming through in every bite!

Summer is filled with lots of BBQs and delicious side dishes for potlucks and dinners. The most popular side dish is potato salad at our BBQs and holiday potlucks. This potato salad is so delicious with creamy Side Delights® Gourmet Petite Pure Gold and Fusion Fingerlings potatoes, chunks of smoked ham, crunchy celery, chopped hard boiled eggs, and fresh herbs. No mayo needed! It’s a crowd pleaser for sure!

What you will need to make this wonderful Country Potato Salad for your next cookout with only a few common ingredients:

 

  • 2 pounds Side Delights small potatoes, preferably their Gourmet Petites
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 ounces smoked ham, sliced into strips
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or dill
  • 3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped

You can make this Country Potato Salad in a short amount of cooking time. I think it tastes better the next day with all of the flavors melding together, that is if it lasts by that long! If you aren’t a fan of mayo you will love this potato salad – it’s like a meal in itself!

I am a fan of Side Delights® brand of fresh potatoes because they are healthy and delicious fresh potatoes, the ultimate comfort food! They continually strive to delight their readers with new, innovative products to fit every meal as well as delicious recipe suggestions.

Just prep your ingredients ahead of time to save yourself time, or make it the day before. (Look at those beautifully colored potatoes!)

Country Potato Salad is the perfect side dish: as its simple ingredients mean you may have everything in your fridge to make this easy recipe. I included the purple and small potatoes for this recipe to give it a festive and beautiful color. Not only does it look beautiful, but it tastes amazing!
