Potato Salad with Capers

Written by Mandy Evans & Lizzie Moult. Recipe supplied by Bunya Red Farm in the South Burnett region.

Ready In:
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1kg
potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 medium
brown onion, finely diced
1/2 cup
good quality whole egg mayonnaise
1/2 cup
cream
1 tbsp
parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp
capers, washed
 
salt and pepper

Method

In a large saucepan, place the potatoes and cover with water and a pinch of salt

Bring to the boil and reduce to a rolling simmer and cook for a further 10 minutes

Drain the potatoes and put them into a plastic container that has a lid

Before sealing the plastic container, add the onions and stir through

Cover with the lid and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Doing this cooks the onions partly so they are not so strong

Remove the lid from the container, add the mayonnaise and cream and stir through. The mixture will appear sloppy while it is still warm

Add the parsley, capers and season with salt and pepper to taste stirring again to combine

Place the lid back on top of the potato salad and place it in the fridge to cool

While it chills, the potatoes absorb the cream mixture and it thickens.
