My husband loves potatoes. We are lucky, the Irish potatoes are absolutely delicious and hearty. And the variety of potatoes available is wide. Some of them are seasonal, but you can find great Irish potatoes available all year round.
Many people falsely believe that potatoes make you fat, but actually potatoes are virtually fat free and they are a good source of fibre, protein, potassium and vitamin C.
There are plenty of delicious and healthy dishes that you can prepare using potatoes and here I share with you a quick and easy potato salad recipe, colourful and flavourful.
An ideal salad for summer weeknights meals, when you do not have too much time to spend in the kitchen, as you only need 15 minutes and less than 10 ingredients to prepare this healthy Mediterranean dish.
