Apple cider potato salad

From Modern Pioneering

Ingredients:

1 5-lb bag of Red Bliss or other thin skinner potatoes, skins intact

1/2 cup salt

1 tbsp cayenne

8-10 cloves garlic

2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced

1 cup chopped basil

1 cup chopped kalamata olives

juice of 2 lemons

1 cup apple cider or apple juice

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tbsp pepper

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

1/4 cup coarse mustard

1 cup yellow or white onion, finely diced

Directions:

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add the salt, cayenne and garlic cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender — about 40 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the green onions, 1 cup basil, lemon juice, apple cider, olives, olive oil, 1 tbsp paprika, pepper, vinegar, mustard and onion. Allow to sit and macerate for a few minutes.

Once the potatoes have partially cooled, chop them roughly until chunky and add to the mixture. Stir well.

Garnish with additional basil and paprika and serve slightly warm.

Time:
