🍴 Serving suggestions

Serve the spicy potato salad as part of a barbecue or buffet, with my lamb, feta & mint burgers, tuna pasta salad, curried rice salad, and green salad.

It’s also great with air fryer chicken breasts and courgette & feta burgers!

📖 Variations

  • Up the spice by adding a teaspoon of chilli flakes.
  • Add some veggies such as tinned sweetcorn, chopped red peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
  • Don’t like coriander? Garnish with chopped parsley instead.
  • Feeding a crowd? Make a double batch!
  • Can’t get hold of baby or miniature potatoes? Peel and chop the same weight of floury white potatoes into bitesize chunks. Cook as directed but reduce the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. Drain and mix with the dressing before the potatoes start turning grey!
