CRAB AND POTATO SALAD



Crab and Potato Salad image

Saw this recipe at Food Network and decided to tinker with it to make it my own. It's kind of like a crab boil in a salad, so tasty! Makes me think of summertime at the beach. You can boil your own crab, buy it cooked, or even use "krab" if you like! Fresh corn is going to be available here in Florida soon, wouldn't some...

CRAB-BOIL POTATOES



Crab-Boil Potatoes image

I first tried these delicious little potatoes while in New Orleans but did not think to get a recipe. I have adapted this recipe to match the taste as best I can. They are somewhat adaptable, you can adjust the spice level to your own preference - these are what I would consider a medium level (I ususally use a bit more spice b/c I like things spicy!)

Provided by Kerry G

Categories     Potato

Time 10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs red potatoes
1 tablespoon tony chachere's original creole seasoning (you could use regular salt)
3 tablespoons liquid crab boil (or 1 bag of the dry kind)
2 ounces hot sauce (not Tabasco- the flavor isn't right)

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes (I like mine cut up but you could keep them whole) in a pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add the crab boil.
  • Bring the water to a rolling boil then add Tony Chacheres (or salt) and the hot sauce.
  • Allow the potatoes to boil until they are fork-tender (5-10 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes and whether you cut them or left them whole).
  • Drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for 5 minutes or so.
  • You can serve these hot, or allow them to cool (the flavor gets stronger as they cool) and serve them at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold and red potatoes hold their shape well in potato salad, making them ideal choices.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Boil potatoes until tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool slightly before handling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and seafood for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: The dressing should complement the other ingredients without overpowering them. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve Immediately: Potato salad is best when served immediately or within a few hours of making it. Leftover potato salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Crab boil potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer gatherings. With its combination of tender potatoes, succulent crab, and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a side dish to wow your guests, give crab boil potato salad a try!
