Savory and satisfying, baked potato salad is a classic dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer gatherings.

This recipe also incorporates a medley of colorful vegetables, including crisp celery, sweet red onion, and crunchy radishes, adding a delightful textural contrast to the soft potatoes.

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 small russet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 ounces sharp Cheddar, cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about the size of a pea)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated

Steps:

  • Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes, then prick each all over 8 to 10 times with a fork. Rub the butter evenly on the potatoes, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet with at least 1 inch of space between them.
  • Put the bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place both baking sheets in the oven, the bacon below the potatoes. Cook the bacon, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, 18 to 20 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, let cool and then crumble. Bake the potatoes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and a small knife inserted in the center goes in and out without any resistance, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and let cool completely, about 2 hours; quarter each cooled potato lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, bacon, Cheddar and white parts of the scallions, and gently stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with the scallion greens right before serving.

BAKED POTATO SALAD

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
1 bunch parsley, about 1 inch of stems still attached, roughly chopped with scissors
1 bunch basil, about 1 inch of stems still attached, roughly chopped with scissors
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of sugar
4 to 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 shallots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, plus 1 teaspoon brine from the jar
4 to 6 gherkins, finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon brine from the jar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish and put in the center of the oven. Bake until the potatoes are tender and can be pierced with the tip of a knife, about 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the parsley and basil in a food processor or blender. Season with salt and white pepper, add 2 tablespoons water and blend. With the motor running, pour the olive oil through the top in a slow, steady stream. Add the sugar and taste for seasoning. Pulse to combine and set aside. (This doesn't need to be a smooth puree: It should be a little rustic and chunky.)
  • In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, shallots, mustard, capers and brine, and the gherkins and brine. Add half of the parsley-basil puree and toss. Taste for seasoning.
  • When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Peel half of the potatoes (some skin adds a nice flavor to the salad). Cut any big potatoes into quarters and cut the rest in half. Put the potatoes in the bowl with the dressing; season lightly with salt and pepper and gently toss. Serve at room temperature with the remaining herb puree on the side.
