Best Potato Salad With Peas And Mint Recipes

MOM'S POTATO SALAD WITH PIMENTO AND PEAS

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water for 12 minutes, until fork tender. Drain and return potatoes to hot pot to dry them. Sprinkle potatoes with vinegar. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and let them cool.
• When potatoes have cooled, add pimento and peas to the bowl. Using a hand held grater, grate the small white onion over the potatoes. The onion juice is what makes this salad so good. Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise dressing to the bowl, or to your liking, to bind.
• Season potato salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to plastic serving wear and pack up for your picnic. Keep this salad in your cooler with beverages or chill until ready to travel.

POTATO SALAD WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Put 2 pounds chopped red-skinned potatoes in a pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon; sprinkle with salt and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar. Boil 10 ounces frozen peas in the same pot until just tender. Drain, rinse and add to the potatoes. Whisk 3/4 cup each mayonnaise and sour cream, and 1/2 cup each chopped chives and dill. Toss with the potatoes and peas; season with salt and pepper.

MINTED PEA SPRING POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and scrub potatoes or if in my house, peel potatoes as no one likes the skins. Cut in half and place in boiling salted water. Add 4 eggs to this pan or you can boil them separately. They are usually done after about 10 minutes but test with a fork for doneness.
• Add the bag of frozen peas to the water.
• Turn off the heat and cover. You don't want the peas to get mushy and you want them to stay green but still cooked.
• After about 10 minutes, drain in a colander. Peel eggs under cold running water and quarter them.
• Mix your salad dressing of lemon, olive oil, chopped mint, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Pour all into a bowl or casserole dish and toss everything together.
• Top with Parmesan cheese and serve or chill and serve later.

LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT

SHRIMP, SUGAR-SNAP PEA AND POTATO SALAD WITH MINT AND PECORINO

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a cutting board. Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until opaque, 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the bowl of peas.
• While the potatoes are warm, slice them into 1/2-inch rounds, and place them in a small bowl. Gently toss them with 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread them on a large platter to cool.
• When the shrimp are cool, toss with the peas and remaining vinaigrette. Spoon the mixture over the potatoes. Tear the mint leaves, and scatter the pieces over the salad. Sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Drizzle with oil and add a little vinegar to taste, if needed.

• Place potatoes in a large pot filled with heavily salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once water boils, reduce heat to medium and simmer until a knife can easily be inserted into potatoes, about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large frying pan or cast iron skillet until well browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Return the pan, with the bacon fat, to the stove over medium heat and add the shallot. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add peas and cook until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl to cool. Once potatoes are cool, cut into large dice and add to pea mixture. Add sour cream, mint, heavy cream, and reserved bacon and fold until potatoes are well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Serve at room temperature or, if making in advance, place in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, bring potato salad to room temperature and fold in a few extra tablespoons of cream.
