Potato Salad Contest: RECIPE 3 - Chloe Roddick (Edinburgh Film Festival)

'THE MRS RODDICK SPECIAL'

This is my Mum's Secret Potato Salad Recipe. 

This is the best potato salad you will ever eat. As you eat it, you'll weep to think of all the other sub-par potato salads you have eaten in your life. It will be like emerging from the darkness, into the light.

Ingredients:

Jersey Royals (peeled)

Mayonnaise (FULL-FAT or FORGET IT) (I dunno, loads really)

Spring Onions (a bunch, chopped)

Red Onions (1 large, diced)
Celery (diced)

Walnuts (a few handfuls, roughly hewn)
Greek yoghurt (one spoonful)

Allspice (to taste)

Paprika (to taste)

A pinch of mild chili powder

A pinch of dill
A dash of worcester sauce

and a LOAD (nearly a whole block, if you can handle it) of parmesan.

Boil potatoes till soft. Add everything. Mix up. REVEL. x

Potato Salad Contest: RECIPE 2 - Jenny Horwell (Branchage)

'THE PURIST'

Jersey Royals (steam them, takes 10 minutes, amazing)
Extra Virgin olive oil (CRUCIAL: add the oil to the chopped potatoes while they're still hot)
Spring onions (chopped)
Maldon Sea Salt (yes it matters)
Black pepper.

The picture ain't pretty, but it tasted beautiful.
