POTATO SALAD WITH PEPPERONI, SHALLOTS AND VINEGAR



Potato Salad With Pepperoni, Shallots and Vinegar image

Here's a unique twist on the traditional German potato salad adapted from Torrisi Italian Specialties, a now shuttered Manhattan restaurant known for its nuanced approach to traditional Italian-American cuisine. Instead of bacon, this version calls for pepperoni, and shallots instead of onion or scallions. The finely chopped pepperoni is sautéed with a generous pile of chopped shallots, dried oregano and fresh sage to which white wine vinegar is added to make a dressing that coats the potatoes in an addictive salty-spicy-tangy slurry. Don't skip the step that calls for boiling the potatoes with garlic cloves, thyme and peppercorns. It infuses the flesh of the potato with a subtle, herby flavor that's worth the extra effort.

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, not peeled
6 garlic cloves, peeled
10 to 12 sprigs thyme
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
Salt
1/4 cup olive oil
6 sage leaves, fresh or dried
1 tablespoon dried oregano
8 ounces pepperoni, finely chopped or ground
6 large shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add potatoes, garlic, thyme, peppercorns and 2 tablespoons of salt, then boil until potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes depending on size.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add sage and oregano and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pepperoni, lower heat to medium-low, and render fat from the meat for about 2 minutes. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them, discard garlic, thyme and peppercorns, and lightly crush potatoes with the back of a fork. Keep warm in a bowl, covered with a kitchen towel.
  • Add the vinegar to the skillet and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour mixture over warm potatoes, toss and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.

Tips for Making the Best Pepperoni Potato Salad

* **Use high-quality ingredients.** Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for firm, waxy potatoes, crisp celery, and a good-quality pepperoni. * **Cook the potatoes perfectly.** Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland, while undercooked potatoes will be hard and unpleasant to eat. Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. * **Cool the potatoes completely before assembling the salad.** This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery. * **Use a light hand with the mayonnaise.** Too much mayonnaise will make the salad heavy and greasy. Use just enough to bind the ingredients together. * **Season the salad to taste.** Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squirt of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion

Pepperoni 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 tastes. With a little care and attention, you can make a pepperoni potato salad that will be the star of the show.
