Artichoke Potato Salad
In a recent post I told you that my NY City son, make that Tony Award winning son (apologies for the bragging but you gotta do what you gotta do), asked me to come up with a cookie recipe for a cookie he had in NY City. So it was not a total shock when my mother-in-law was speaking to my wife about a delicious potato salad she had just had at a luncheon and wanted to know if I could re-create it. Here is what was given to me to help in coming up with the recipe, ” it was a potato salad with artichokes but mainly the dressing was the oil that the artichokes came in.”
I look at these requests as challenges; although it does make it easier if I have actually tasted the food. Not having that advantage I try to think about what would taste good using those particular ingredients. I think I got pretty close but won’t know for sure until my mother-in-law makes this herself. What I can tell you is that the recipe below is really good, different and easy to make. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Artichoke Potato Salad
| Complexity: | Easy |
| Serves: | 6 |
| Category: | Salad |
| Meal: | Other (General) |
| 2.5 | lb | potatoes, red |
| 12 | oz | artichoke hearts, marinated |
| 3 | Tb | onion, red |
| 0.33 | cup | vinegar, white |
| 0.25 | cup | oil, olive |
| 1 | tsp | pepper, fresh cracked |
| 1 | Tb | parsley, flakes |
| 1 | Tb | oregano, dried |
| 1 | Tb | sweet basil |
| 2 | tsp | salt, kosher |
Boil potatoes with the skins on for 25 minutes or so, until they are just tender without falling apart. Slice artichokes into bite sized pieces, place in a large bowl along with the oil from the jar. Add vinegar and oil and blend. Add chopped red onion, parsley, sweet basil, cracked black pepper and oregano and stir. While potatoes are still warm cut into bite size pieces with skins on. Pour mixture over potatoes and stir. Let stand on counter for an hour, stirring occasionally to blend. Add salt to taste.( you may want to add some salt just prior to serving as the potatoes will absorb the salt) May be refrigerated at this point; be sure to allow the potato salad to come to room temperature prior to serving.
