Horseradish potato salad might sound like it’s a bit potent, but we assure you, it’s extremely delicious. This recipe calls for a lovely combination of yogurt and cheese, giving the potatoes a nice creamy texture that’s very satisfying. After shredding four ounces of your favorite Cabot cheddar, make sure to gather together two pounds of small, red-skinned potatoes that should then be cut into chunks. After that, you’re going to add vinegar, yogurt, red onion, ground pepper, mayonnaise, salt, celery and your favorite tender herbs (such as parsley, chives, or basil) with the cheese and potatoes. Season the whole thing to your taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, cut into chunks about 1½ inches each

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery hearts
  • ¼ cup minced red onion
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh tender herbs, such as parsley, chives, chervil, basil, tarragon and dill
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. HEAT several inches of water in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer attachment.  When water is boiling, add potatoes to steamer and cook until tender and flesh feels tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.

  2. REMOVE potatoes and steamer transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle vinegar over the potatoes and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1½ hours.

  3. WHISK yogurt, mayonnaise and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in cheddar and mix until any clumps of cheese are broken up. Stir in the celery hearts, onion and herbs.

  4. STIR yogurt mixture into the cooled potatoes and season with pepper to taste.

Recipe Tips

Be careful not to overcook the potatoes! And depending on the size of the new potatoes, some can be left whole or just cut in half.
