RED HOT & BLUE POTATO SALAD - THE ORIGINAL



Red Hot & Blue Potato Salad - the Original image

I've searched for this recipe for several years, ever since I worked at the Red Hot & Blue restaurant in Savannah, GA. I FINALLY managed to get ahold of the store manual's recipe, and this is scaled down from it. It will still make a fair amount, about 12 servings...but once you try it, you'll be grateful for that extra, cause it WON'T last long!!!

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 2/3 C Servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs Red Bliss potatoes
4 large eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion top
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
1 3/4 teaspoons celery seeds
1 3/4 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes skin-on for approximately 45 minutes (you can boil them, but they tend to be slightly mushier in the end result). Set aside until cool enough to handle. Boil your eggs, then do the same. When cool enough, peel the eggs ONLY (do NOT peel the potatoes -- the skin gives it part of it's unique texture and taste).
  • In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Chop the potatoes and eggs into bite-size pieces and add to bowl. Mix GENTLY -- you want salad, not mush -- until blended.
  • Serve at room temp for up to 2 hours after making -- refridgerate leftovers. It tastes best when room temp, but is delicious cold too -- so if you are making this in advance, it's fine to chill it.
  • NOTE - If you are on a low-sodium diet, you can easily reduce or eliminate the salt the recipe calls for. Just let people salt it at table to taste!
  • ***Wanted to say THANKS to all the reviews! Here's another hint to make this easier: when you are going to make boiled eggs, ALWAYS make sure you buy the eggs at LEAST 7-10 days in advance. Why? Because as an egg matures, it develops a small air "bubble" inside it (it's the membrane separating from the shell). Having this bubble makes it a BREEZE to peel the eggs once they've cooled completely (also a great trick for Easter Eggs, BTW). You want your eggs to be around 10-12 days old, and it takes, on average, 2-3 days to get them from the laying facility to the store.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Blue Belle, Red Bliss, and Yukon Gold, hold their shape well in salads and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy, so cook them until they are just tender. You can check by piercing them with a fork - they should be easy to pierce but still have a little resistance.
  • Cool the potatoes before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery. You can cool the potatoes by running them under cold water or by placing them in a bowl of ice water.
  • Use a light dressing: A light vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes without overpowering them.
  • Add your favorite herbs and vegetables: Some popular additions to potato salad include celery, onion, dill, and parsley. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, peas, or bell peppers.
  • Season the salad to taste: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for potato salad, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, it's a versatile dish that can be served at any occasion. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a dish to impress your guests, potato salad is sure to be a hit.
