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.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup crushed BBQ chips
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
6 scallions, white and light green parts only, chopped

  • Bake until the chip mixture is golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes.
  • For the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, vinegar, lime juice and jalapeno. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil. Add the watercress, mango and onions and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat.

INSTANT POT BBQ CHICKEN WITH POTATO SALAD

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered if large
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 6), halved
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 scallion, sliced
Pickles, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread the potatoes in an Instant Pot. Add 2/3 cup hot water and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Fit a rack on top. Toss the chicken with 1 teaspoon olive oil and the chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken thighs on the rack. Put on and lock the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set the pot to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar in a small bowl.
  • When the time is up on the Instant Pot, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position. When all the steam is released, turn off the pot and remove the lid. Carefully lift out the rack with the chicken and set on a plate. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Scoop or pour out all but about 1/2 cup of the liquid in the pot. Set the pot to sauté on high and return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the ketchup mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the celery and scallion to the potatoes and toss. Serve the chicken with the potato salad and pickles.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. A combination of waxy and starchy potatoes will give your salad the best texture. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or red potatoes, will hold their shape well, while starchy potatoes, such as Russets, will break down and thicken the dressing.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. You don't want them to be too soft, or they will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a mayonnaise that you like the taste of.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. This is a great way to customize your potato salad to your own taste. Some popular mix-ins include bacon, hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, and pickles.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will also make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

BBQ potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is always a hit. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its smoky, tangy, and creamy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or picnic.
