Minted Potato Salad

February 27, 2019 by mgrc Leave a Comment

Fresh mint gives a refreshing lift to the typical potato salad from My Great Recipes. Use fresh mint in summer when mint runs wild in the garden; otherwise, dried mint leaves are satisfactory.

Good served with barbecued sausages or typical picnic fare. This salad is perfect for a picnic. Because it does not include eggs or any creamy mixture, there is little chance of spoilage.

Serves 4.
