NEW YORK DELI STYLE POTATO SALAD

When I moved down South, after living in New York for 35 years, I could no longer find a "deli" style potato salad I liked. I like a simple vinegar based salad with just a small amount of finely diced onion. Common in most Deli's on Long Island, NY. I have tweaked a few recipe's I found on recipezaar and below seems to be the best. I'm famous for cooking my potatos too long, so cook them till you think they're done! I like to use a new potato and tried it with those dutch baby yellow potatos last night. Yummy!

JOHN'S NEW YORK DELI-STYLE POTATO SALAD RECIPE - (4/5)



John's New York Deli-Style Potato Salad Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-4792

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds red potatoes, boiled
1/2 cup carrots
1/4 cup curly parsley, fresh
1 cup Hellman's mayo
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a big pot of water. Turn up the heat to high! Cook them to perfection in boiling water. Don't over cook (they will be too mushy). Don't under cook. I can't give you an exact time but start checking after 20 minutes. You just need to use your fork and your cooking instincts. Peeling: You can peel them before boiling but it's easier to pull off the skins after cooking. Tip : Let them cool, first! After cooking, drain well and let them cool down. After a spell, chill in the fridge until they are cold. During the cooling off period grate ½ cup of carrots and ¼ cup of minced curly parsley. Take the cool potatoes and slice them thin. (About a quarter of an inch or so) Place sliced potatoes in a giant mixing bowl and add the mayo, white vinegar, sugar, salt, carrots and parley too. Gently mix it up with a big 'ole spoon. Adjust to taste. Chill, may be eaten it within 3 days preparing.

Tips:

  • For a creamier potato salad, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes. They have a higher starch content, which will help to thicken the dressing.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when you stir them into the dressing.
  • Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. This will help them to absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Use a light hand when stirring the potatoes into the dressing. Over-stirring will break up the potatoes.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
  • Serve the potato salad with your favorite deli meats, cheeses, and pickles.
