Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds russet potatoes (, about 6 medium-size)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
8 slices bacon (, cooked and chopped)
5 green onions (, chopped)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash potatoes and prick them with a fork or knife.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until they are fork tender. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • At this point you can peel all of them, or peel half of them and leave the skin on the other half to get a real baked potato feel. Cut the potatoes into small, pieces.
  • Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl and stir well.
  • Add the potatoes to a large serving bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the sauce (just enough to coat them well--you may not use it all) and gently stir to coat.
  • Add most of the bacon, onion and cheese, reserving some for topping at the end, and gently stir to combine.

BAKED POTATO SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
1 bunch parsley, about 1 inch of stems still attached, roughly chopped with scissors
1 bunch basil, about 1 inch of stems still attached, roughly chopped with scissors
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of sugar
4 to 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 shallots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, plus 1 teaspoon brine from the jar
4 to 6 gherkins, finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon brine from the jar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish and put in the center of the oven. Bake until the potatoes are tender and can be pierced with the tip of a knife, about 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the parsley and basil in a food processor or blender. Season with salt and white pepper, add 2 tablespoons water and blend. With the motor running, pour the olive oil through the top in a slow, steady stream. Add the sugar and taste for seasoning. Pulse to combine and set aside. (This doesn't need to be a smooth puree: It should be a little rustic and chunky.)
  • In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, shallots, mustard, capers and brine, and the gherkins and brine. Add half of the parsley-basil puree and toss. Taste for seasoning.
  • When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Peel half of the potatoes (some skin adds a nice flavor to the salad). Cut any big potatoes into quarters and cut the rest in half. Put the potatoes in the bowl with the dressing; season lightly with salt and pepper and gently toss. Serve at room temperature with the remaining herb puree on the side.

PATTI'S POTATO SALAD



Patti's Potato Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds red-skinned potatoes (20 potatoes), well scrubbed
6 large eggs, hard-cooked
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 teaspoons celery seed
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Paprika

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough salted water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Pour out most of the water and place the pot in the sink. Run cold water over the potatoes for about 2 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Drain well.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl. Chop 4 hard-cooked eggs and add to the potatoes, along with the red onion, green pepper, and celery. Sprinkle with the celery seed. Gradually stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, and relish (wear rubber or plastic gloves and use your hands, if you wish), being careful not to smash the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Slice the 2 remaining hard-cooked eggs. Arrange the slices on top of the salad and sprinkle with paprika. Serve immediately, or cool, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly dug potatoes. Yukon Gold or red potatoes are great choices.
  • Prick the potatoes all over with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you want a crispy potato skin, rub the potatoes with olive oil before baking.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for about an hour, or until they are tender.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them. Then, cut them in half and scoop out the flesh.
  • For a creamy potato salad, mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher.
  • For a chunky potato salad, cut the potato flesh into small cubes.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to the potato salad, such as chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or cheese.
  • Season the potato salad with salt, pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar to taste.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Pat's baked potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the best baked potato salad that everyone will love.
