How do you Potato Salad ?

Cold salads of boiled potatoes with vegetables and / or ham or prawns with a dressing are quite popular world wide. Here is a lovely Sevillian Tapa style potato salad called Papas Aliñas ( dressed daddies ):

Serves 4:

1 kilo of potatoes of choice ( I like the red boiling type )
1 kilo of shrimp
3 hard boiled eggs
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 red onion
salt
olive oil
*** RECIPE BELOW: Ali Oli with Sun dried tomatoes
parsley fresh chopped

1- Peel and boil the potatoes.
2- cut the onion in thin wedges
3- chop the bell peppers into strips
4- when potatoes are tender, run cold water on them and let cool so you can cut them into fork size chunks
5- sauté the shrimp until coral rosey color in olive oil with garlic minced
6- Having prepared the hard boiled eggs last night; peel and chop into salad; add some salt and pepper to taste

SUN DRIED TOMATO ALI OLI DRESSING ( ali oli is a home made mayonnaise )
1/4 cup drained sun dried tomatoes
1 large egg
1 tbslp minced garlic
1 1/2 tblsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp Dijon
salt and white pepper

Finely chop the sun dried tomatoes in food processor

add the egg, garlic, mustard and lemon juice and blend well

add the olive oil through the feed tube

blend until thick and smooth

season with salt and pepper

Garnish with chopped parsley and toss all

Serve with crusty bread and white wine --- or a Chilled Beer.
