Arran Potato Salad

Ayrshire, in southwest Scotland, is known for its early potatoes. Firm, creamy, tender Arran potatoes are the perfect base for this potato salad, but any firm, waxy new potatoes will serve. Mixed with fresh peas, beets, and a creamy dressing, this potato salad is the perfect side for a late spring or early summer lunch or picnic.

Ingredients

  • 10 new potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 oz (113 g) shelled fresh peas (or frozen peas, thawed)
  • 4 oz (113 g) cooked red beets, diced
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) diced onion
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 Tbsp (60 ml) mayonnaise
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, as needed for garnish

Directions

  1. Cover diced potatoes with water in a large saucepan.
  2. Add a dash of salt.
  3. Bring potatoes to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Drain potatoes and shake dry.
  5. Simmer fresh peas in water for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain. If using frozen peas, there is no need to cook them.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • A mix of peas and carrots can be used instead of only peas.
