Shmoe's Potato Salad

This dish is perfect for BBQ's. It's less calories than using mayo, and I think a lot tastier. I often get asked for the recipe, so I thought I should share it.

Shmoe’s Potato Salad


For 4-6 People

New Potatoes
Red Onion
Pot of cream cheese
Chives
Mint
Parsley
Clove of Garlic

1, Cook the new potatoes until tender

Whilst they are cooking….

2, finely chop the onion, and roughly chop the herbs
3, Crush the garlic in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt and a dash of olive oil, pound until it is a paste
4, In a bowl hand whisk the cream cheese until it is loose and smooth, add a small amount of milk if it needs some help in being looser.
5, Whisk the garlic into the cheese, mix well
6. When the potatoes are ready, put in a serving bowl, season with salt and black pepper and whilst they are still hot add the dressing. Mix very well until all the potatoes are covered
7, stir in the onions and then the herbs and serve – warm or later cold!
