Best 3 Herby Potato Salad With Warm Bacon Vinaigrette Recipes

POTATO SALAD WITH WARM BACON DRESSING

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes then allow them to cool completely. Cut the potatoes into quarters then add them to a large bowl.
• Add the bacon to a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and all of the fat has rendered off. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate, leaving 3 tablespoons of the drippings in the pan.
• Add the diced onions to the pan and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, whole grain mustard, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup water. Simmer the mixture for 3 minutes until it has reduced to 1 cup.
• Pour the dressing over the potatoes, add the cooked bacon and toss to combine. Stir in the chives and serve warm.

GERMAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of cold water with the salt. Bring to the boil then reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes or until just cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre (they will continue cooking as they cool, you don't want to overcook them so they hold their shape).
• Slice: Drain and set aside to cool slightly, then slice into rounds about 0.7cm / ¼" thick.
• Cook bacon: Place bacon in a large, unheated non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Turn the heat to medium. As the bacon heats up, the fat will start to melt. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook the bacon until it starts to turn golden - about 3 minutes.
• Cook onion: Turn heat down to medium. Add the red onion slices and cook 3 minutes or until the onion is soft.
• Add vinegar and sugar: Add the cider vinegar and sugar, bring to a simmer, scraping the base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits stuck to the pan into the liquid.
• Add oil: Add the oil, and simmer for 2 minutes longer. The dressing is now ready.
• Toss potato through: Add potatoes and gently toss using two spatulas for 1 minute or so, until all the potatoes are well coated in the dressing and absorb some of the dressing.
• Check for salt: Taste and add more salt if you want (the bacon already should add enough).
• Layer potatoes: Pile about 1/4 of the potato on to a platter or in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the green onion and dill. Top with another 1/4 of potato, sprinkle with more green onion and dill. Repeat until all used up.
• Serve! I love it served warm, but it's also terrific at room temperature!

HERBED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the potato salad: Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Season the water liberally with salt. Bring the potatoes to a simmer over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Transfer to a sheet tray or cutting board. Gently press each potato and garlic clove to smash them and set them aside in a bowl, covering the bowl with aluminum foil to keep the potatoes warm.
• For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
• Add the warm potatoes to the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add the parsley, dill and tarragon to the potatoes. Toss to coat, seasoning with additional lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the Fresno chile and chives. Serve at room temperature or keep covered in the refrigerator overnight, tossing again before serving.
