Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds new potatoes
1 yellow onion, quartered
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 large red onion, diced
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup canola oil or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high. Place potatoes in a large pot with the yellow onion and cover with cold water. Cook, on the grates of the grill, or on a burner, until tender.

Add the red onion to the rendered bacon fat and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully add the vinegar and mustard and cook for 2 more minutes. Whisk in the oil and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the hot dressing to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Fold in the green onions and parsley.

Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (plain yogurt works well or a combination of both)
3 -4 tablespoons Dijon mustard (start with least amount)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 -2 tablespoon chipotle pepper, pureed (in adobo)
1 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaf, loosely packed
3 green onions, sliced thin, white and green parts
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 -4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (optional)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
3 -4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 1/2-4 lbs new potatoes, cooked, drained and sliced 1/2-inch thick (cooked in salted water)

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients, except the potatoes, in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place warm potatoes in a large bowl and pour the mixture over potatoes and mix well. Season again with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Can be eaten warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or red potatoes are good choices for potato salad because they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You want the potatoes to be cooked through but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the potato salad. You don't want to overdress the salad, or it will become too heavy.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the potato salad for extra flavor. Chopped cilantro, parsley, or chives are all good options.
  • Serve the potato salad immediately, or chill it for later. Potato salad is best served cold, so if you are making it ahead of time, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
