Potato Salad With Peas And Mint Recipes

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
• In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
• Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with dressing, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, top with additional lemon juice, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper.

Steps:

• Trim and string the peas, then thinly slice them crosswise. Place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in the oil.
• 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.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain on paper towels; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces.
• In a bowl, combine shallot and vinegar; let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in oil and 2 tablespoons mint; season with coarse salt and pepper.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon coarse salt and snap peas. Return to a boil, then cook just until tender, about 45 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander and run under cold water; drain well and slice crosswise on the bias.
• Add potatoes to boiling water; return to a boil, then reduce heat and vigorously simmer until tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain; toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons dressing. Spread on a baking sheet and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In a bowl, toss together potatoes, peas, pea tendrils and flowers, remaining 4 tablespoons mint, and bacon, then toss with about 1/4 cup dressing. Serve, garnished with tiny mint leaves and sprinkled with flaky salt.

Steps:

• Put peas in a bowl.
• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with lightly salted cold water. Bring to a boil; cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, pouring enough hot cooking liquid over peas to cover. Let peas stand 30 seconds, then drain and rinse peas under cold water.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add peas, potatoes, broth, and salt. Cook, stirring, until liquid reduces to a glaze, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in parsley and mint.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 11 to 14 minutes; drain. Halve potatoes. Meanwhile, simmer peas in a saucepan of water until tender, about 4 minutes; drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Crush peas with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid using a fork. Gradually stir in remaining 2 tablespoons cooking liquid until mixture is thick and chunky. Toss potatoes with pea mixture, mint, salt, and some pepper. Drizzle with additional tablespoon oil.
