Beer-Brined Potato Salad with Sunflower-Seed Chimichurri Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by ltrodrigu

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the Potatoes:
1/4 cup kosher salt for brining, plus more for boiling and roasting
3 pounds blue potatoes, such as Adirondack Blue or Purple Peruvian
16 ounces saison-style beer
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 sachet black tea
1 sprig rosemary
3 small red onions, quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
For the Chimichurri:
1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro
3/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup olive oil
6 scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 2 limes (about 4 tablespoons)
1 small Serrano chili, seeded and minced
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer potatoes to ice water to halt cooking. Meanwhile, combine beer, ¼ cup kosher salt, cloves, garlic, black tea sachet and rosemary in a medium. Bring to a boil over high heat. Turn off heat, discard tea bag and let brine cool to room temperature. Transfer potatoes and brine to a large Ziploc bag. Seal bag and let sit at least 1 hour and up to overnight in the refrigerator, turning bag occasionally to coat potatoes. Meanwhile, Make Chimichurri: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Once potatoes have brined, set broiler to high. Remove potatoes from brine, pat dry and transfer along with onions to a rimmed baking sheet. Discard brine and its contents. Toss vegetables with oil and salt. Broil until golden and caramelized, 15-20 minutes. To serve, transfer roasted vegetables to a serving dish and spoon some chimichurri on top. Serve remaining chimichurri on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds, red potatoes, and russets.
  • Boil the potatoes just until tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart. Test them with a fork or knife; they should be easily pierced but still have a little resistance.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the potato salad: You don't want to overpower the flavor of the potatoes with too much dressing.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Beer potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer gatherings. With its creamy dressing and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful side dish, give beer potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
