Mashed Potato Salad with Scallions and Herbs
Creamier than a classic potato salad, and chunkier and zestier than regular mashed potatoes, this hybrid dish can be served warm or at room temperature, when its texture is at its softest and best. (Never serve this cold; no one likes cold mashed potatoes.) The key to getting the right texture is to cook the potatoes a little more than you would for potato salad, but not so much that they completely fall apart. You are looking for chunks of potatoes coated in a fluffy layer of highly seasoned mashed potatoes. Potato salads tend to absorb their seasonings as they sit, so for the most flavorful dish, be prepared to add more salt, lemon juice and olive oil to taste just before serving.
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1½-inch chunks
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus more lemon juice for serving
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • Dash or two of hot sauce, to taste
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, sour cream or crème fraîche
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or whole-grain mustard
  • ½ cup thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts)
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil or dill
