CREAMY DIJON-DILL POTATO SALAD



Creamy Dijon-Dill Potato Salad image

I guess I'm sticking to the classic salads for my BBQ, and there's nothing more classic BBQ than a good home-style potato salad. Mine is rich in flavor, but still light and fresh, thanks in large part to the dill and lemon juice. The vibrant green dill also does wonders for the look of the salad. There's nothing worse than mushy, mealy potatoes, so make sure to start your spuds off in cold water and to cook them whole.

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 stalks celery
1 cup mayonnaise
1 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup tightly packed chopped fresh dill
1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon grainy or regular Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a big pot with enough water to cover by 1-inch. Season with salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the uncovered pot off the heat. Let them sit until almost room temperature. (Cooling them in the warm pot will get rid of any excess water in the potatoes, and that's good.)
  • Meanwhile, cut the white parts off the ends of the celery stalks. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then across into 1/4-inch slices. Stir the celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining ingredients together in a serving bowl large enough to hold all the potatoes.
  • When they're cool, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, add them to the bowl as you go. Stir gently until all the potatoes are coated with dressing. You can make the salad up to a couple of hours in advance. Keep covered at room temperature. Don't refrigerate or the potatoes will lose their rich, smooth texture.

PRESERVED LEMON POTATO SALAD



Preserved Lemon Potato Salad image

This no-mayo potato salad is an excellent dish to serve year-round. It's bursting with Mediterranean flavor thanks to kalamata olives, preserved lemon, lots of fresh herbs and a splash of olive oil. It's a great side for grilled meat or fish, and since it doesn't contain mayonnaise it's a good option for a picnic or barbecue where you won't have easy access to a fridge.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1 preserved lemon (see Cook's Note)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 to 3 tablespoons juice from preserved lemons

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the parsley, dill, mint and scallions in a large bowl. Add the red onion and olives and stir to combine.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool completely. Chop the boiled potatoes into bite-size (about 3/4-inch) pieces. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the herbs and toss. Remove the flesh of the preserved lemon (discard the seeds and save the flesh for another use.) Finely chop the lemon rind (peel); you should have about 2 tablespoons. Add the rind to the bowl along with the garlic, olive oil, honey, 2 tablespoons of preserved lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Give it a good stir and taste; if it needs more salt, add another 1 tablespoon or so of the preserved lemon juice (see Cook's Note). Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly grated Dijon mustard.
  • If you don't have celery, you can substitute red onion or green onion.
  • For a creamier potato salad, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • If you like a tangy potato salad, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
  • For a smoky potato salad, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • For a more herby potato salad, add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or dill.
  • Serve the potato salad warm or cold. If you're serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Lemon Dijon potato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that's perfect for summer picnics and potlucks. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try!
