Dilly Bean Potato Salad

This vibrant dilly bean potato salad offers a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetarian side dish. By combining creamy baby Yukon Gold potatoes with the sharp, vinegar-led crunch of pickled dilly beans, you create a beautiful balance of textures and flavours. A hint of smoked paprika adds depth to the mayonnaise dressing, while fresh watercress or wild rocket provides a peppery bite that cuts through the richness of the hard-boiled eggs.

Ideal for summer entertaining or as a hearty accompaniment to a weekend lunch, this homemade salad is both comforting and refreshing. The secret lies in dressing the potatoes while they are still hot, allowing them to absorb the tangy shallot infusion. It is a versatile dish that can be prepared a day in advance, making it a stress-free addition to any buffet or garden party spread.

Ingredients for Dilly Bean Potato Salad

  • 2 shallots, halved lengthwise, very thinly sliced (about 240ml )

  • 6 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar

  • Kosher salt

  • 1.4kg baby Yukon Gold potatoes

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Place shallots in a small bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar and a large pinch of salt; set aside.

Whisk 150g mayonnaise and smoked paprika in a small bowl; add to potatoes and toss to combine. Fold in watercress, beans, and eggs and season to taste with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired. Garnish with parsley. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Return to room temperature before serving, if desired, stirring in additional mayonnaise if dry.
