Minted Mayonnaise Recipes

POTATOES WITH MINT MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan filled with cold water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, and let cool at room temperature.
• Prepare mint mayonnaise: Place egg, mustard, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender; pulse until well combined. With blender running, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream. The egg mixture will become thick and creamy. Pulse in mint until just combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve mayonnaise immediately with potatoes, or keep refrigerated up to 3 days.

MINTED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 15 mins or until, tender, then drain and cool. Stir together the garlic, yogurt, vinegar and sugar with some seasoning, to make the dressing. Can be made to this stage up to a day ahead.
• To serve, mix most of the spring onions and mint into the dressing, then pour it over the potatoes. Stir gently, taking care not to break the potatoes up. Scatter with the rest of the spring onions and mint to serve.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you're confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
• Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.
