3 lbs medium or small potatoes, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
6 garlic cloves, halved
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil.
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, tossing mixture to coat.
Spread potato mixture over prepared baking sheet.
Bake 30 minutes or until tender, stirring mixture occasionally. Cool to room temperature.
Combine parsley, yogurt, green onions, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the cooled potato mixture, and toss gently.
Serve salad at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with green onion, if desired.
It is very important to cool your potatoes before stirring them into the yogurt mixture. Otherwise, the hot potatoes will soak up all of your yogurt and your potato salad will not be very creamy.

They were tasty San with a little butter ......
Dawn wait at least 2 months and then have a little dig around one plant try not to disturb it to much in case they are not ready , it might depend on the variety as well we like to eat them young because you can always have old ones at anytime .........

I've acquired a root of asparagus Amy, I love the ferny stems afterwards and the berries. My Dad grew it and my Mum cut it for flowering arranging.

Amy, do you grow broad beans? Do we set them in them in autumn?

New potatoes and fresh mint ... a winning combination if ever there was one! : o ))

We stopped growing Asparagus Dawn , it always had Asparagus beetle and I don't like spraying anything that we eat .. we had a nice bed of it ! the ferny stems are beautiful for flower arranging . yes we do grow Broad beans but not this year we set them in the autumn and the frost had them in the winter , I think you could set a late lot now but we didn't bother, I like new young beans !
You can't beat it can you Shirley :o)

Thanks Amy, shame the winter took the broad beans. I'll give them a try this autumn, surely next winter will be milder
