- 2 cups good quality mayonnaise
- Pinch saffron threads, steeped in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 pounds baking potatoes, like russets, peeled and cubed
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Spanish onion, diced
- 1 red chile, diced
- 1 cup chopped Serrano ham
- 1 cup sweet peas, frozen and thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Method
- Combine mayonnaise, saffron liquid and lemon juice thoroughly in a food processor; season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- The mayonnaise will turn a beautiful yellow color and should be somewhat thin to combine smoothly with the potato mixture.
- Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until fork tender, about 30 minutes.
- Drain potatoes well in a colander.
- Heat oil in a skillet until almost smoking.
- Saute the onion and chiles.
- Add the potatoes and fry until the edges are crispy and brown.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add ham, and peas and parsley; toss lightly to combine.
- Gently fold the saffron mayonnaise into the potato salad, taking care not to break up the cubes.
