I'm one of those strange birds that prefers their potato salad warm. I love to dig in just after I'm done mixing it up instead of waiting and eating it cold from the fridge. My dad makes the greatest potato salad on the planet and I always eat it warm too. My dad's salad is jam packed with bacon, olives, eggs...it's incredible!
I made this lemon and herb potato salad for Easter brunch. I thought the lemon and fresh herbs made it a nice choice. It also has a touch of balsamic. It may not look like much in these photos but it actually was quite scrumptious!
warm potato salad with lemon and fresh herbs
recipe adapted from Dragon's Kitchen
serves 6-8
Print recipe
10 medium red potatoes, cut into cubes
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup chives, finely chopped
1 1/4 cup mayo
juice from 1 lemon
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt and cracked pepper
Cook potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl combine the herbs, mayo, lemon juice, zest and balsamic. Salt and pepper to taste.
Fold potatoes into the herb mayo mixture. I like to break my potatoes up a bit as I stir.
You can serve this immediately or refrigerate and then serve. It's up to you.
Hope you are having a lovely day! ;)

This does sound good! I'm with you, I much prefer my potato salad warm. I also prefer mine to have an oil and vinegar base, so I'm doubly weird.
I like potato salad warm too! I might make some for lunch tomorrow!
ooh that looks good, it would have gone well with my salmon tart (not blogged yet!)
sounds really good right now...
it is cold and rainy here in paradise
I'm with you on the warm potato salad. My favorite is a non-mayo dressing with roasted garlic, olive oil, and chives. It's mind-blowing.
This looks pretty delish as well!
Wonderful recipe...love the addition of the balsamic vinegar. I love warm potato salad but have never made it before! Now I will!

Okay, now I am craving potato salad! I can't wait till we have some "real" Spring weather so we can have a picnic. You can bring the salad! I like it warm myself.

OH MY...such a different recipe for Potato Salad. I'm just now boiking my potatoes for my first of the season Potato Salad and I sure like the idea of adding some Balsamic Vinegar!
I like my potato salad warm too! Sometimes the simplest-seeming dishes are the ones that taste the best. It looks incredible to me.
This looks so delicious with the lemon and herbs, Kim! Very light and refreshing...a perfect addition to brunch!
I like it warm & cold but I've never tried with lemon, that sounds really good.
I agree - potato salad should not be cold! I like mine more towards room temperature! This looks fantastic!

Kim! My mom made this honestly exact recipe last weekend and I snuck so much out of the bowl while it was still hot :) mmmm so so so good. One of my faves for sure!! xx
Looks delicious! Potato salad and spring are synonymous!
Not weird at all. I prefer mine warm, or at least room temperature. Yours looks great and sounds springy!
I can just about taste it, and it tastes GOOD! Perfect for the summer.

I love cold potato salads but this one looks yummy!
It never occured to me to have this hot (how unimaginative is that - doh!) I am going to try this with Gammon and parsley sauce - if my kitchen ever gets finished.
Looks delish! I like it warm also.
What a lovely spring potato salad! I love mine warmed too!
I love that it uses the fresh herbs of the season. I love warm potato salad! (All right, I also love it cold). It comforts and the lemon is a perfect way to bring out the flavor.
This is how the French like it too and I love s warm potato salad! Yours is just up my alley, taste-wise!
Wonderful potato salad, I love the addition of lemony flavor!
Oh, this sounds delicious and I will be trying it! I like it warm also!
Awesome looking potato salad, and yes I love mine warm too! Always zap it up in the microwave for a few secs~ Wouldn't mind having that gorgeous plate too! :D
I've never had it warm before, but I've also never had it with bacon either. I bet it's amazing.
Hey kim... just wanted to let you know, i made this recipe (with a few small changes), posted to day and gave you the world of credit!
Grins, I'm all about cold potato salad, but this looks so good that I'd be happy to try a nice scoop of it. Beautifully photographed!
