PINK POTATO SALAD WITH BEETS- ENSALADA DE PAPA CON REMOLACHA image

Categories     Salad     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Lbs- All purpose White Potatoes
4- Large Eggs
1- Small Onion- Grated until fine or chopped finely
1 Tbsp of salt for water
**Additional Salt to season the potato salad
1- small can of Whole Beets- diced into small cubes
1- Small can of Green Peas- drained of all liquids
2 cups of Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp of Olive Oil- use a good extra virgin olive oil, I recommend Goya olive oil

Steps:

  • Put a pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling add salt to the water. Cut the potatoes in half and place them into the pot of salted, boiling water. NOTE: Do not peel the potatoes before hand. Take the skin off the potatoes after they have been boiled and cooled. At this time also add the 4 eggs on top of the potatoes so that they can also boil and harden. Once the potatoes are fork tender remove from the water, and also remove the eggs. Drain and let potatoes cool down completely. Also let the eggs cool down completely. Once the potatoes are cooled take each piece peel the skin off and cut into cubes. You should get about 6 cubes per each half of potato. Once all of the potatoes have been peeled and cubed set them aside. Peel the eggs and mash the eggs with a potato masher or with a fork until you get coarse egg pieces. The pieces should be small not large. Add the eggs to the cubed potatoes. At this time, take the potatoes and egg mixture and add the grated onion, diced beets and add the mayonnaise and toss the salad together and watch the magic unfold! As all of the salad gets mixed together make sure that all of the potatoes are covered with mayonnaise and that all of the ingredients are well combined at this point the salad should be a beautiful pink color. Taste the salad and determine whether you want to add salt and if you do, add it at this point. Once the potato salad is seasoned to your preference, drizzle with olive oil and add the drained peas (optional). Toss the potatoes one last time and your salad is ready. Enjoy!

PINK POTATO SALAD

Categories     Potato     Side

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups plain nonfat yogurt
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
1 seedless cucumber, cut into 1/4-inch-thick half moons
4 ounces (about 1 cup) kalamata olives, pitted and cut in half
1 small red onion, sliced into thin half moons
1/4 cup picked fresh chervil leaves
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Drain yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve for 30 minutes. Place potatoes in a medium pot, and cover with cold water; bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain; run under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside until completely cool. 2. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces; place in a bowl. Add cucumber, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside. 3. Place drained yogurt (about 1 1/2 cups) in a bowl. Add red-wine vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and paprika; stir until well combined. Pour over potato mixture; stir until potatoes are well coated. Transfer to a serving bowl; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, waxy potatoes. Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes work well.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Shock the potatoes in ice water immediately after boiling to stop the cooking process and help them keep their shape.
  • Use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream for the dressing. This will give the salad a creamy and tangy flavor.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the salad for color and flavor. Hard-boiled eggs, celery, and onion are all classic additions.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a bit of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
