Baby Potato Salad with Lemon Aioli

Baby Potato Salad

1 lb of potatoes of your choice (the waxier, the better) 
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
Zest of one lemon
Salt
Garlic powder
1 tbs grapeseed or other non-olive oil
2 stalks of celery, chopped
3-4 green onions, green part only, sliced
1 clove minced garlic
3/4 cup mayo of your choice or fresh aioli
A bunch of herbs of your choice, finely chopped
1 tbs capers

  • Wash and clean potatoes.

  • Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces (I used baby potatoes, so I quartered them).

  • Fill a large pot with cold water and put potatoes in.

  • Salt water (more than you think. Should be slightly saltier than the sea).

  • Bring potatoes to a boil.

  • Chop celery and green onions.

  • Put all but a few green onions and celery into a bowl with 1/3 of lemon juice and oil.

  • When potatoes are tender (but not super soft), drain them both in a colander.

  • Rinse potatoes with cool water.

  • Put them on a cutting board or tray to dry.

  • Sprinkle salt, garlic powder and 1/3 of the lemon juice on potatoes while warm. Taste and adjust.

  • Put 3/4 cup of mayo, remaining lemon juice, celery, green onion, zest, and chopped garlic into a blender or small food processor.

  • Blend until smooth.

  • Taste and adjust flavors.

  • When potatoes are cool, put in bowl with celery and green onions. 

  • Add mayo mixture and stir gently.

  • Add capers and herbs and stir gently into salad.

  • Refrigerate until cool.
