MUSTARD-GREEN ONION POTATO SALAD



Mustard-Green Onion Potato Salad image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds new potatoes, boiled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the warm potatoes and green onions in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, garlic, vinegar and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the dressing to the potatoes and carefully mix until combined.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Choose small, waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, as they hold their shape well during cooking and slicing.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can make them mushy and difficult to slice.
  • Cool Potatoes Thoroughly: Allow the cooked potatoes to cool completely before slicing and assembling the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, and chives, add a burst of flavor and color to the salad. If using dried herbs, use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more as needed. Overdressing can make the salad soggy.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant green color, delightful flavors, and refreshing texture, green potato salad is a must-try for any potato salad lover. Whether you're looking for a classic side dish or a creative new way to enjoy potatoes, this salad is sure to please.
