Baby Red Bliss Potato Salad With Juniper And Buttermilk Recipes

BABY RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse the baby potatoes and place them into a medium-size pot filled with water. Add one teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring water to a full boil, and boil the potatoes for 5 minutes, or until you can easily slide a knife through one potato. Drain and allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, prep and chop all the vegetables.
• On a cutting board, cut each potato into quarters and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add all the chopped vegetables.
• In a small dish, whisk the ingredients for the dressing. Pour it over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
• Taste, and adjust the seasonings for salt and black pepper to your taste. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle on top with some freshly chopped parsley. Cover with clear wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
• Serves 6 to 8 servings

BABY RED BLISS POTATO SALAD WITH JUNIPER AND BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Simmer the potatoes in a pot of well salted water that you have brung to the boil. Cook until just done without allowing the potatoes to become mushy. Drain well, then rinse in cold water. Spread on some kitchen toweling to dry.
• Combine the mustard, vinegar, juniper berries, salt, pepper and buttermilk in the bowl of a small sized food processor or the bowl of a stick blender and blitz until fairly smooth and well combined. (I find this chops the juniper berries with no problem. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is creamy.
• Put the lukewarm potatoes into a bowl and add half the buttermilk dressing. Cover and chill overnight.
• One hour before serving stir in the remaining buttermilk dressing and the parsley and onions. Leave to set at room temperature until serving.
