How To Make Swedish Potato Salad | Tasting Table Recipe

We're crushing on this chilled potato salad with mustard and cornichons

By Tasting Table Staff

Scandinavia loves a potato, and when new potatoes come out of the ground, they try to keep the preparation as simple as possible.

For this simple salad, the potatoes are boiled until just tender, and then added to a mustard sauce while still warm. A little bit of chopped cornichons, capers and dill add crunch and brightness

Eat it while still warm, but these potatoes are still delicious when cold. We're in love with them, too.
