My father may be potato’s biggest fan. He can talk about the vegetable at great length and those who know him know what I’m talking about. Surprisingly though, we never ate potato salad in my house growing up. I was introduced to it later in life, but once I tried it, I was hooked. I came up with this recipe for my dad and hope to make it for him next time I see him. He prefers not to eat eggs so I nixed the mayonnaise and replaced it with Greek yogurt.

Potato Salad for Dad
Ingredients:
2 cups boiled red potato, chopped into small cubes
1 stalk of celery, chopped fine
1 small shallot, chopped fine
few grinds pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped
salt to taste
Yogurt dressing
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped
For frying
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 teaspoon coriander powder
1/3 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper
Add last
Method:
Boil the potatoes in salted water until done, but not mushy. Rinse potatoes in cold water so they stop cooking.
Stir yogurt, garlic, mustard, ginger and pepper in a bowl.
In a small saucepan, add oil under medium heat. I usually throw in a cumin seed to make sure the oil is hot enough (when the cumin seed starts to sizzle, that’s hot!). Throw in the cumin powder, coriander powder and chili and fry just for a few seconds. Pour the spices onto the yogurt dressing and also add back some of the yogurt to the pan to get all of the spices out. Finish with the lemon, dill and salt.
Place chopped potatoes, celery and shallots in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and mix. Toss everything with the dressing.
You can eat as is or place in refrigerator to chill a bit.
