Recipe Story

We originally made this potato salad for a pot-luck with our local Slow Food group. It ended up taking us too long and we arrived at the dinner just as they were finishing up. So we headed down to the bank of a nearby river and had a picnic. Perfect.

Ingredients

 
This is really delicious. Feel free to try whatever greens you like in this salad or to add or subtract ingredients as you see fit.

* 1 large onion

* 1 inch ginger, grated

* 3 med potatoes, diced
 
* 1/2 t turmeric
 
* 1/2 t chili powder
 
* 1 t cumin, ground
 
* 1 t coriander, ground
 
* salt and pepper
 
* honey vinegar
 
* 2 med tomatoes, diced
 
* 2-3 hard boiled eggs
 
* 2 tart green apples (optional)
 
Assortment of Wild and Cultivated Greens and Flowers:

* handful mint leaves
 
* handful basil leaves
 
* handful plantain leaves
 
* handful purslane

Directions

Method:
Place sliced onions and oil into a heavy bottomed skilled and saute until they become golden and caramelized. Add garlic, ginger, spices (sausage is also nice). There can be more oil than you might normally use because this will be used as the dressing for the potatoes. Another nice addition to the salad is small diced tart green apples, these should be added and sauteed for about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the vinegar.

Boil the potatoes until they are firm but not too soft, drain and add to the onion mixture, saute briefly and turn off the heat.

Hard boil your eggs (simmer about ten minutes, run under cold water right away for ease in peeling off the shells)

Wash and drain any leaves and flowers that you have picked for your salad. Please use whatever leaf you have. The above list are just suggestions. It is very nice with some mint and basil in it.

Place the warm potato mixture onto the salad greens. Add your tomatoes and diced eggs. Mix it up lightly and taste. Adjust seasonings and serve.
