Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas

I love potato salad. To me it’s not just a side for picnics, it’s a meal. Through the school year, I routinely make potato salad to cover school and work lunches. So when Patak’s asked me to try a recipe from their amazing online cookbook Smoke & Spice, I jumped at the opportunity to make their Samosa Inspired Potato Salad. To me, it’s a Creamy Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas and the taste is absolutely mind-blowing.

You’ll love the sweet and mildly spicy taste of this salad and while I think it’s perfect on it’s own, it’s also a perfect side for chicken, fish or beef off the grill.

Once again Patak’s has shocked me with the versatility of their sauces and pastes. A year ago when I first stepped into this role as a Patak’s Mom Brand Ambassador I couldn’t have imagined how many ways I would mix a little India into my life. From wraps to pizza and now this Curry Potato Salad, I have become deliciously aware of how many ways Indian flavours can be mixed with traditional dishes to create a whole new taste experience.

Now at the end of our term, I’m a little sad to be moving on from our Patak’s partnership, it’s been such a great year working with a really great company. Thank you to Patak’s for including me on this journey to Mix in a Little India, you can be sure I’ll continue to do just that.
