Basil-CreamNew Potato Salad Recipe
Recipe Type:
Salad and Salad Dressing,
Potatoes,
Eggs
Yields: 16 servings
>Prep time: 25 min
Ingredients:
6 pounds small new
potatoes
1/4 cup hot chicken or vegetable broth or stock
6 hard-cooked
eggs ,chopped
4 cups loosely-packed fresh
basil leaves
2 to 3 cloves
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed
lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly-ground pepper
1 tablespoon coarse
salt
1 tablespoon prepared honey mustard
1 cup
cream
1 cup mayonnaise
Preparation:
In a large pan over medium-high heat, add potatoes and
cover with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, approximately
12 to 15 minutes or until just tender. Remove from heat and drain.
NOTE: I usually removethe skins when the potatoes have cooled enough to hold. You can either remove the skins or
leave them on.
Cut the warm potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a
large mixing bowl; pour hot chicken or vegetable broth or stock over the potatoes. Add hard-cooked eggs.
In a food processor or blender, combine basil leaves and
garlic; whirl until smooth. Add lemon juice, pepper, salt, honey mustard, and cream;
process a few times just to blend. Add mayonnaise and process just to blend. Pour
basil-cream mixture over the potatoes/eggs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2
hours or overnight before serving.
Makes 16 servings.
