- 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Whisk mayonnaise, 5 tablespoons chives, mustard, garlic, and cayenne pepper in small bowl to blend. Add to potato mixture and toss. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chives and serve.
Put potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, just until tender.
Drain and transfer to a bowl add chopped eggs, peas, and onion. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
In a cup or bowl, combine 2/3 cup mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard.
Gently stir into the potato mixture until blended. Add more mayonnaise, if desired. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into half-inch dice
1 Persian cucumber or 1/3 hothouse cucumber
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar, plus more to taste as needed
2 ajitama eggs, halved (recipe follows)
Instructions
1. Place scrubbed potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil for 15 to 25 minutes (depending on their size), or until potatoes are just cooked through.
2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and run water over them to cool them. Let them dry, and when they're cool enough to handle, cut them into thick slices and place them in a large bowl with the new-wave sauce gribiche, the lemon juice, the vinegar, the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well, adjust seasoning and serve.

These little nuggets from The Garage restaurant, in Salt Lake City, are based on Mormon funeral potatoes, a crunchy, cheesy, creamy casserole dish that is served at just about any big function in that town. Rolled into balls and deep-fried, they are totally over the top.
Mashed potatoes are even better blended with celery root, which has a gentle but penetrating flavor. Don’t be deterred by the root’s hairy exterior just trim it off with a knife. This recipe is adapted from one in Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (1997), by Deborah Madison.
HISTORY OF POTATO SALAD
Southern-style Potato Salad with a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing is All-American indeed, but did you know the original actually originated in Germany? And, when you compare the two, they couldn’t be further apart.
German Potato Salad, while certainly still comforting, dresses on the lighter side with a vinegar-based dressing and no mayonnaise to be seen. It is served warm with a crumble of bacon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. It sounds like a delicious side dish indeed, but when it comes to serving a crowd, the cold and creamy American rendition reigns supreme.
The French dressed theirs with a homemade aioli dressing, which hits a little closer to home as mayonnaise is (pretty much) a store-bought aioli…with a lit-tle less flavor. This is likely the reason American’s added that squeeze of yellow mustard to classic potato salad dressing!
So there you have it: In true American spirit, “Old-Fashioned Potato Salad” is actually an evolved adaptation of Old World potato salads.
Funky Corn with Pickled Fresnos and Aioli
If you love corn and can’t get enough of it in the summer and you’re always looking for a new recipe and something EASY to make for dinner, then this one’s for you.
When we lived in Ft. Madison, Iowa back in the late 70’s we use to go to festivals in the summer the strawberry and corn festivals were my favorite. I remember the corn especially because you could eat all the hot buttered corn you wanted for free and the kids could run around and play and you wouldn’t think of worrying about their safety.
My son, Scott, who lives in Chicago is always sending me websites to restaurants he and his wife, Missy, go to. This particular restaurant, Funkenhausen was just named one of the 16 best restaurants in Chicago and their chef comes from Charleston, SC and has German roots. I’m sure this corn recipe was probably his take on grilled corn and similar to a Mexican street corn.
Corn is one of my favorite vegetables even though most diets say no corn. Do you think that is going to stop me from eating it occasionally, no way. I have at least 8 corn recipes on this site under soups/sides/salads check them out when you get a chance.
This corn recipe is pretty simple. Grilled/boiled/broiled corn topped with a citrus aioli and topped with crispy minced pulled pork bar-b-que and pickled fresno peppers. I always have bbq packets in my freezer so this was pretty easy for me to throw together for dinner and the aioli is just things you would have in your refrigerator anyway and that whisk together pretty quickly.
BLAST FROM THE PAST: This Smoked Chicken Salad recipe has been one of my favorites for sandwiches. The key ingredient to this salad is “smoke” so you want to use a smoked chicken for making this.
Do a quick pickle on the fresno peppers.
Mix up the aioli and refrigerate until needed.
Mince the bar-b-q and quickly sautés in a dry skillet until you have crispy bits.
Put the bbq on the bottom of your dish/plate and then top with corn that you have cut in chunks and dip each piece into the aioli and sprinkle with a little paprika.
Top corn with a little more of the pork bits and a few of the pickled peppers. Salt and pepper to taste.
Jersey Royal new potato recipes
With a unique flavour coming from Jersey's rich and fertile soil, Jersey Royal new potatoes have been grown on the island for over 130 years. Jersey Royal potatoes have a distinctive taste and work well in a range of dishes. These delicious potatoes have been grown since the late 1800s, and they are Jersey's largest export, with a crop of 30,000-40,000 tonnes a year. For those of us not lucky enough to live on the island itself, the arrival of Jersey Royals in supermarkets and greengrocers heralds the true beginning of spring, and as such the potatoes are often paired with other seasonal heroes such as asparagus and wild garlic.
Celebrate the start of spring with this collection of Jersey Royal recipes. Dominic Chapman's rack of lamb recipe is served with crushed Jersey Royals drenched in anchovy butter, while Mark Jordan's salmon recipe with marinated Jersey royals, asparagus, crab and dill demonstrates that they work equally well with fish. There are plenty of glorious potato salad recipes in this collection, too, such as Dominic Chapman's Jersey Royals salad with spring onions and aioli, and Shaun Rankin's Warm salad of Jersey Royals with goat's cheese, pine nuts and fresh figs.
