East Coast Potato Salad
This potato salad is perfect for a summer BBQ or potluck. For a really great salad, sprinkle the potatoes with liquid (wine, vermouth, stock) while they’re still hot. This will prevent them from absorbing too much dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs new potatoes
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 large dill pickle
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup cooked green peas
- ¼ cup chopped dill or herb of your choice
Dressing
- 1 pack scallions, chopped fine
- 1 Tbsp East Coast spice blend
- 4 Tbsp wine vinegar
- ¼ cup dill pickle juice
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ cup olive oil
