"I used to walk into a party and scan the room for attractive women. Now I look for women to hold my baby so I can eat potato salad sitting down." -Paul Reiser

The refrigerator light goes on...

On first read this recipe may seem a bit odd, but he combination of ingredients is really delicious. The creamy potatoes and eggs are balanced well by the mellow flavor of the turmeric and the saltiness of the olives.

Make a double batch and take this to your next cookout (or maybe a triple batch).

Peruvian Potato Salad recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 lb. red or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. reduced fat sour cream
  • 1 tsp. turmeric
  • 1/2 lime (juiced)
  • 1/2 tsp. lime zest
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/4 tsp. + 1/8 tsp. salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 medium green onions (thinly sliced crosswise)
  • 1/4 small red onion (finely diced)
  • 4 green olives (cut into thin slivers)
  • 4 black olives (cut into thin slivers)
  • 2 hard cooked eggs (sliced)

Place the water in a large sauce pan over high heat. Add the potatoes.

When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until a paring knife slips into the potato with slight resistance.

Remove the potatoes to cool.

Place the sour cream, turmeric, lime juice, lime zest, honey, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.

Cut the cooled potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks and add to the bowl with the green onions, red onion, green olives, black olives, and eggs.

Fold gently until the salad dressing coats the other ingredients.

Chill well before serving - overnight is best.
