Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
2 tablespoons kosher salt
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch of kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add the salt. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.
  • Fry the bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, chop into 1-inch pieces and reserve.
  • For the quick-pickled onion: Combine the red wine vinegar, honey, chile flakes and dill in a small bowl and whisk until the honey is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup water and the sliced onions. Toss well to combine and submerge the onions. Set aside or transfer to a container with an airtight lid. The quick-pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, mustard, apple cider vinegar, pepper, Worcestershire and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Pour the dressing onto the potatoes, add a third of the pickled onions, two-thirds of the chopped bacon and half the chopped parsley and toss. To serve, garnish with the remaining parsley, bacon and pickled red onions.

Provided by The Chunky Chef

Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs petite (or baby) red or white potatoes, cut into 4ths
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
2-3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
12 oz package of bacon, cooked and crumbled
3-4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced celery (2-3 stalks)
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet pickles (or a few tablespoons of sweet pickle relish)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp whole-grain dijon mustard
2 Tbsp bacon grease (optional, but highly recommended)
2 tsp granulated sugar
pinch ground celery seed
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Add sliced potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about an inch above the tops of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over MED-HIGH heat. Covering the pan helps this happen faster, but pay attention that it doesn't boil over!!
  • Once boiling, add 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and stir. Boil, for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Watch out for the foam on top of the water, it can boil over if you're not careful. Adjust the heat so that the potatoes are still boiling, but not so hot that they're roaring.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander, then return potatoes to the same hot pot you boiled them in. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Let sit a minute or two, then return to the colander to cool slightly.
  • While potatoes are cooling, add dressing ingredients plus remaining 1 tsp kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Chop eggs, red onion, celery and pickles. Add cooked potatoes to the dressing in the mixing bowl and top with chopped eggs, onion, celery, pickles and crumbled bacon.
  • Gently stir it all together, until well combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold, at least 3-4 hours.

Roasted Potato Salad With Barbecue Dressing image

If barbecue potato chips were a salad, then this would be it. It's hard to pick which component of this picnic dish is the greater star: the crispy roasted potatoes or the smoky, paprika-tinged barbecue sauce dressing. Bejeweled with crunchy red onions, which are soaked in water to mellow their bite, and showered with fresh dill, this colorful side dish is the savory crowd-pleaser you'll want to bring to any cookout or potluck.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, such as yellow or fingerling, halved (or quartered if large)
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon yellow or Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 packed tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh dill, cilantro or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a half sheet pan, toss the potatoes and tomatoes with the olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, and spread in an even layer.
  • Roast, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the tomatoes have burst and shriveled, about 45 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, fill a small bowl with cold tap water and add the red onions to soak and mellow out.
  • In a large serving bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, mustard, paprika, onion powder and ¼ teaspoon salt until smooth. When the potatoes and tomatoes are done roasting, let them cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to the bowl with the dressing. Drain the red onions and add half to the bowl. Gently toss to combine. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with the remaining red onions and the fresh dill, and serve.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup toasted peanuts
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill using the snake method or for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, stack the unlit charcoals around the perimeter of the grill, about halfway, then light the first few at one end so the snake begins to burn slowly. (This results in a controlled 325 to 350 degrees F heat.) If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Lay out 2 sheets of aluminum foil in a cross and place the potatoes in the middle. Gather up the sides to create a foil packet, add 2 tablespoons of water and seal the foil packet.
  • Place the foil packet over direct heat and steam until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Open the foil packet and continue to cook until the potatoes take on some smoke and dry out, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the peanuts, remaining 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, cilantro, mustard, celery seeds and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the potatoes from the grill, add to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
  • (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 375 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.)

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pot, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the cooking water.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked potatoes. Just be sure to let them cool completely before adding them to the salad.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the potatoes over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • For a tangy dressing, add a tablespoon of pickle relish.
  • For a creamy dressing, add a tablespoon of sour cream.
  • To add a bit of crunch, add some chopped celery, onion, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Serve the potato salad immediately, or chill it for later.
