Served with a tangy lemon vinaigrette and chopped fresh mint, this invigorating potato salad-without a drop of dairy in it-is the perfect take-along for any summer party.
– 2 pounds russet potatoes, (about 3 medium) – ¼ cup lemon juice – 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
– ½ teaspoon salt – 4 scallions, thinly sliced – ¼ cup chopped fresh mint – Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Place the potatoes in a large Dutch oven or saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them. Lightly salt the water.
Bring to a boil, then continue to cook until the vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes more. Drain and rinse with cold ice water. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board.
Add scallions and mint to the salad just before serving and briefly stir.
