Creamy Lemon Potato Salad
A beautiful creamy lemon herb potato salad with chives and parmesan for the next family gathering or dinner party. It’s easy to make and can be made in advance for extra convenience. It even tastes better the next day.
A Classic With A “Twist”
I have a a huge soft spot for classic potato salad. It was one of our primary side dishes at family barbecues and parties. What’s so great about it? It’s a classic that can be made anytime of the year and takes little effort to make. It delicious served with the potatoes slightly warmed after being cooked, but tastes better the next day after absorbing the flavors. This Creamy Lemon Herb Potato Salad is no different, and it’s perfect for the sunny summer days. With freshly squeezed lemon juice and chives, then coated in parmesan cheese, this potato salad will turn skeptics into lovers.
Can Red Potatoes be used instead?
Yes. Most waxy potatoes will do when making potato salad. Yukon, fingerling, and Idaho potatoes are also great options.
Ingredients You Will Need:
- Yellow Potatoes
- Lemon
- Fresh Chives
- Garlic Powder
- Dillweed
- Ground Mustard Powder
- Mayonnaise
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
What To Serve With Potato Salad:
The options are endless when it comes to serving potato salad as a side dish. Burgers, hotdogs, or smoked meats are a barbecue dream to have potatoes with on the side. It can also pair well with grilled meats, sandwiches, sausages, and fish. Then there are vegetarian meals such as mushroom burgers, veggie skewers, or a kids favorite, chicken nuggets. There are no limits on choices, making this the perfect addition to the serving table.
