Herb Potato Salad

Fresh, bright and filling- not a common description for potato salads, but in this case, it fits perfectly. With spring full effect, this a perfect side dish to any bqq, party, or week day meal. Herbs like cilantro, parsley, and mint give this dish so much flavor and brightness and are key to making this salad. Buying herbs like this can be expansive and hard to come by (especially living in places like Hawaii). A great way to save money is by growing your own herbs at home. Not only do you save money, you also help eliminate some carbon dioxide emissions caused by transportation. I highly recommend growing your own herbs at home. Its a easy and fun way to help yourself and the environment.

Ingredients:

2 ½ lb Young or red Potatoes

Juice from one lemon

2 Tbsp Cilantro minced

1/4 cup Parsley minced

4 Sprigs mint minced

1/4 cups Olive oil

Salt & pepper to taste

1 Green onion chopped

Procedures:

Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Salt the water with a teaspoon of water and bring to a boil on high heat. Once brought to a boil, lower the temperature to maintain a gentle boil.

Cook the potatoes for about an hour or until tender. You want the potatoes to be soft enough to eat but soft enough to fall apart

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let the cool completely in the refrigerator or the freezer. Cut the potatoes in half or into bite size pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl.

In a small mixing bowl add the lemon juice, cilantro, parsley, mint, olive oil, green onion, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined then pour over the potatoes

Gently toss the potatoes trying not to break them and let them marinate in the sauce in the fridge for about an hour.

Serve cold and enjoy :)
