Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped prosciutto and cook until it becomes crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Once crispy, transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, and lemon zest. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Once the potatoes have cooled to room temperature, add them to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture.
- Gently stir in the capers, roughly chopped spinach, and crispy prosciutto. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Taste the salad and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the potato salad immediately, or refrigerate it for an hour to let the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with additional dill or lemon zest if desired, and enjoy your Prosciutto, Dill, and Lemon Potato Salad!
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss for the best texture; they hold their shape well after boiling.
- To save time, boil the potatoes whole with their skins on, then peel once they’re cool enough to handle.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, you can add a bit of lemon juice along with the lemon zest.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can substitute some or all of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Toast the prosciutto slices until they are crisp for added texture and flavor.
- Mix the salad ingredients while the potatoes are still slightly warm so they absorb the flavors better.
This Prosciutto, Dill, and Lemon Potato Salad is a flavorful and refreshing dish that adds a unique twist to traditional potato salad. The combination of crispy prosciutto, tangy capers, fresh dill, and zesty lemon will leave your taste buds tingling.
