Basil Potato Salad

To have a side dish is a struggle I go every time I cook something like fish or dried chicken recipes like tandoori chicken etc. And you have to think what will go well with them. Than what you have available in your fridge, what you can come up with.

But this potato salad is the one dish which we can make in a jiffy and goes well with anything. And most importantly the main ingredient is one which we always have available "POTATOES" :D. This is the simplest dish which for sure wake up your taste buds.

So do give it a try and let me know if you have any suggestions or comments down below. Happy Cooking Everyone!!!!

Ingredients:

2 medium sized potatoes
20-25 basil leaves
1 garlic clove
1-1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp mustard paste
salt and pepper to taste

Recipe:

1. In a mixer-grinder, mix everything together except potatoes and grind in a fine mixture.
2. On other hand, boil the potatoes. Once boiled, cut it into cubes and place it a bowl.
Note: Always add potatoes in water before starting the heat while boiling. Because we want potatoes and water to heat up at same rate evenly. Else you will have potatoes boiled from outside and raw inside.
3. Pour the mixture over potatoes and mix gently without breaking potatoes.
4. If you add this on warm potatoes, you might be able to smell the garlic being cooked in heat of potatoes.
5. Longer this salad sits, more it absorbs the mixture and better it gets. Serve hot or cold with any main dish. I served it with baked salmon.
