Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus about 2 tablespoons more for garnish
1/3 cup roughly chopped green onions, plus about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 stalks celery, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine sliced potatoes and salt. Cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a paring knife and pulled out with little resistance, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, 1/3 cup parsley, 1/3 cup green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the herbs and garlic have been chopped into little pieces. Then, while running the food processor, pour in the reserved cooking water and process just until blended. (If you don't have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the parsley and onions and whisk the dressing together until the oil is fully incorporated.)
  • Drizzle the potatoes with the herbed olive oil mixture and gently mix to combine. (It will look like you've poured in too much dressing, but don't worry, the potatoes will soak it up!) Let the potatoes rest for ten minutes, gently tossing every few minutes.
  • Add the celery to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons each of additional chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This salad is best served within a few hours, but will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.

MAYO-FREE POTATO SALAD



Mayo-Free Potato Salad image

I personally don't like the taste of mayonnaise, so would never eat potato salad. Don't know where this recipe came from, but it ended up pretty good. Always a hit at our summer parties!

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium red potatoes
1 large red onion, diced
3 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon thyme
3 minced garlic cloves
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring the potatoes to a boil.
  • Add the eggs into the same pot. Boil for 10 minutes until hard boiled. Take the eggs out of the pot with tongs, but leave the potatoes until you can easily stick a fork into them.
  • While potatoes continue to boil, rinse the eggs in cold water to cool down.
  • While eggs continue to cool, dice red onion.
  • Dice the eggs.
  • Remove potatoes from water and dice into large chunks.
  • While potatoes are still hot, combine with eggs and onions (heat from potatoes slightly cooks the onions).
  • Add seasonings. (These measurements are a guesstimate -- I usually just eyeball and add until it tastes right).
  • Serve warm or refrigerate if desired (I prefer mine warm).

MAYO-FREE FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds small boiling potatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup good white wine
1/4 cup good-quality chicken stock
1 cup finely diced celery (4 stalks)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (4 scallions), white and green parts
1/4 cup finely diced cornichons
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon coarse mustard
3 tablespoons good-quality champagne vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup good-quality olive oil
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large stockpot; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 30 minutes, until just barely tender. Drain into a colander. Cover with a kitchen towel, and allow to steam for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters, depending on size. Combine the white wine and chicken stock, and pour over warm potatoes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Add celery, scallions, and cornichons, and toss to combine.
  • Combine mustards, vinegar, remaining salt, and pepper in a small bowl; whisk to combine. Gradually add olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Pour dressing over potatoes; let sit until room temperature; stir in dill. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes, new potatoes, or fingerling 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 still firm: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart, so be careful not to overcook them.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: Overmixing can cause the potatoes to break down and become mushy. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are evenly combined.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and develop, and also makes the potato salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs: This adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
