GRILLED FINGERLING-POTATO SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE BACON VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Fingerling-Potato Salad With Chipotle Bacon Vinaigrette image

A vinegary potato salad with bacon is one of the great Germanish summertime traditions. Here I've added a Mexican accent in the form of the canned, smoked jalapeño known as chipotle chile en adobo. (A small can, well covered, will keep for months in the refrigerator.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     easy, salads and dressings

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 to 14 small fingerling potatoes
4 slices bacon
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced in rounds
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon rendered bacon fat
4 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 chipotle chile en adobo, or to taste, mashed and minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water and a tablespoon of salt, then set over high heat until it comes to a boil. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain potatoes, place on a baking sheet and allow to cool slightly, then halve the potatoes lengthwise. (You can do this the day before.)
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp. Reserve bacon and, in a small bowl, 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.
  • Light a fire in a fire pit with a grill, or in a charcoal grill, or set a gas grill to high. If you have a strong vent in your kitchen, you may use your stove with a burner set to high. Place a large cast-iron grill pan over the heat and allow it to get hot. You can let the fire die slightly. If using a gas grill or stove, turn heat to medium.
  • Put the potatoes and the sliced onions in a large bowl and toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Working in batches, grill the potatoes cut-side down on the grill until they have developed a light char, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the onions until they are charred, approximately 4 to 6 minutes a side. Return potatoes and onions to bowl.
  • For the dressing, combine the remaining olive oil, bacon fat, red-wine vinegar and chipotle in a small bowl and whisk to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the dressing to the potato-and-onion mixture and toss gently to combine. Let sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the potatoes. Crumble bacon over the top.

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 red bell pepper, diced
3 scallions, finely sliced
celery, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
2 -4 chipotle chiles in adobo, deseeded and diced finely (or more, use the seeds if you like the heat)
1 tablespoon sugar
8 slices bacon, cooked very crisp and crumbled reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
8 medium red potatoes, cooked, cooled and diced
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients together.
  • Toss in remaining ingredients except 1 tablespoon bacon and salt and pepper.
  • Mix well.
  • Taste to see if you need to add salt and pepper.
  • I myself like lots of pepper.
  • Top with bacon bits.
  • Chill& Serve.

Tips:

  • Properly clean and store the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Store the potatoes in a cool, dark place to prevent sprouting.
  • Use the right type of potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are ideal for potato salad as they hold their shape well. Avoid using starchy potatoes like Russet potatoes, as they tend to fall apart when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes perfectly: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Too much mayonnaise can make the potato salad heavy and greasy. Use just enough to bind the ingredients together.
  • Add flavor and texture with mix-ins: Vegetables like celery, onions, and pickles add flavor and crunch to the potato salad. You can also add some chopped hard-boiled eggs or crumbled bacon.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: Chilling the potato salad allows the flavors to meld and helps it hold its shape better.

Conclusion:

The chipotle pepper potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side or main course. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, or summer barbecues. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can make the perfect chipotle pepper potato salad that everyone will love.
