Make our Own Potato Salad Saves Heaps
I know, I know, you'd think MOOing potato salad would be normal, but apparently it's not.
Deli salads are big business. Have you priced them lately? Well I have and let me just say they are ridiculously expensive at $16 per kilo tub!
So if you're in the habit of buying potato salad, get out of it right now! Seriously, you want to stop buying it and start MOOing it!
You can make a kilo of potato salad for under $2. If you use two tubs a week that's $28 a week or $1,456 a year you won't be spending at the deli on a salad that is so simple, easy and quick to make it's just plain ridiculous to even think about buying it.
This is my favourite potato salad. It's so simple it's ridiculous, but it tastes great and is quick to make too. I do a bulk batch every Monday morning to last us through the week; it will keep in the fridge for up to five days.
Potato Salad
1kg potatoes, scrubbed well
1 large onion, grated
2 tsp mint sauce
Coleslaw dressing (I use Coles brand, it is the closest to the Kraft original Coleslaw dressing and costs $1.80 a bottle).
Dice the potatoes and steam or cook in boiling water until fork tender. Drain. Gently mix through the onion while the potato is still warm. Stir the mint sauce into the coleslaw dressing and toss through the potatoes. Chill well before serving.
I didn't include a quantity for the Coleslaw dressing because it's to taste. If you like a lot of dressing, use more. If you like your potato salad just moistened, use less.
It took less than 10 minutes in total hands on time for peeling, dicing and mixing, and about 25 minutes cooking time; you can spend longer than that standing at the deli counter waiting to be served!
The prices are based on what it cost me to make last week. The potatoes were 60c a kilo on sale, the onion was 40 cents, the mint sauce was 13 cents and the coleslaw dressing was 60 cents for a total of $1.73.
There are some really lovely potato salad recipes in the Salads Recipe File, and they are all cheaper to MOO than $16 a kilo so don't think it's not worth it, start MOOing your potato salad now!
