HEATHER'S BOILED THEN BAKED POTATO SALAD



Heather's Boiled Then Baked Potato Salad image

Comfort food at its best! This is a perfect side dish for any meat you may want to serve - ribs, steak, chops, chicken ... anything. These potatoes remind me a lot of a loaded baked potato - only better! I could make a meal of these potatoes alone and be perfectly satisfied.

Provided by Bea L.

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium whole potatoes, peeled
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
1/2 c sour cream
1/3 c spring onions, chopped
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. First, boil the peeled whole potatoes until 'almost' done. If I'm using red potatoes I don't peel them but that's certainly your prerogative. (Any potato you choose should work just fine in this dish). Drain and cool then cut into small chunks. Set aside.
  • 2. Over low heat combine the cheese and butter and cook until 'almost' melted, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Remove from heat and add in the sour cream, spring onions, salt and pepper. Gently fold in the potatoes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 x 9 casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • 4. Transfer to the greased casserole dish and bake on 400 for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, when boiled.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Pierce the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: The salt will help to flavor the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will help to prevent them from becoming waterlogged.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Boiled potatoes are best served hot.

Conclusion:

Boiling potatoes is a simple but versatile cooking method that can be used to create a variety of dishes. Boiled potatoes can be served as a side dish, used in salads, or added to soups and stews. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, vitamin C, and fiber. With a few simple tips, you can boil potatoes perfectly every time.
