Steamed Potato Salad

This was something I threw together quickly to round out a soup and salad meal that I thought would be too light. It was easy and worked out very well.

4 or 5 red potatoes - cut into 8ths - about 3/4 inch chunks.
1 T olive oil
kosher salt
2 T (or to taste) sour cream

Steam the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes - until they are cooked through but not mushy
keep the potatoes in the steamer basket and run it under cold water to cool the potatoes
put the potatoes in a bowl and add the salt and oil and toss
add the sour cream and toss

eat

this would probably be good with some chopped green herbs - like chives or breen onion tops

I liked the texture of this - it was creamy without being a mayo disaster
