Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

7 medium red-skinned potatoes, quartered
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 slice bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Put the red potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, after about 10 minutes, add the sweet potatoes. Return to a boil and cook 10 more minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, gently toss them in the mayonnaise mixture to coat.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, then set aside to cool in the skillet. Once cool, pour the bacon and drippings into a small bowl along with the olive oil. In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar and mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil-bacon mixture, whisking to emulsify. Add the scallions, parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste and whisk to blend.
  • Using tongs, place the potato pieces on the hot grill and cook on all sides long enough to cook through and make grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Handle the potatoes gently so they don't fall apart. Remove the potatoes from the grill and place in the bowl with the vinaigrette. Gently toss to coat completely and serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes for a more flavorful salad. Waxy potatoes, such as red or white potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as russet potatoes, and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will become watery and lose their flavor.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before slicing them. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes. This will help to ensure that they are evenly sliced.
  • Make the vinaigrette ahead of time and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, or more sweetness, such as honey or maple syrup.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Cuban potato salad with scallion vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you are looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try.
